Annapurna Studios presents “Vyooham,” a Telugu web series now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Discover our unique take on this production.

Plot Summary:

Arjun Ramachandra (Sai Sushanth Reddy), the newly appointed ACP, takes on a hit-and-run case involving Michael (Chaitanya Krishna), who grapples with the tragedy of losing his unborn child. As Arjun delves into the investigation, he unravels a web of interconnected cases, including the mysterious death of his own mother. The series unfolds the mysteries surrounding these cases.

Pros:

Sai Sushanth Reddy’s portrayal as the Assistant Commissioner of Police holds the series together.

Chaitanya Krishna delivers a commendable performance, and Ravindra Vijay leaves a lasting impact with his nuanced portrayal of a policeman.

Director skillfully navigates through episodes, building excitement for a suspenseful thriller.

The score enhances the narrative, and well-executed twists maintain interest, showcasing effective teamwork.

Cons:

Despite the promising synopsis, the interconnection of various cases to a road accident introduces confusion.

The series may feel unnecessarily prolonged, raising questions about intentional story dragging.

Introduction of numerous characters, some lacking meaningful contributions, is a drawback, with certain roles, like Monika Thagalapalli’s IAS officer, lacking depth.

Technical Aspects:

Director Sashikanth Srivaishnav Peesapati, also the story writer, could have streamlined the narration amidst numerous stories and characters for a more refined suspense thriller.

Sriram Maddury’s background score adds depth, while Sidhardha Reddy’s cinematography contrasts with Sai Murali’s editing, which could be improved for a more impactful series.

Final Verdict:

Despite satisfactory performances, “Vyooham” falls short as a thriller due to its complex narrative, unnecessary length, and underdeveloped characters. Alternative entertainment options may be worth exploring.
