‘Naandhi’ review: Director Vijay Kanakamedala and Allari Naresh put forth an engaging drama

The Hindu  

At a crucial moment in the story, when a powerful man tells Surya Prakash that his 40-year career is at stake, Surya retorts and asks if his own predicament, after languishing in prison for five years for a crime he never committed, doesn’t matter at all. Naandhi Cast: Allari Naresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Priyadarshi Direction: Vijay Kanakamedala Music: Sricharan Pakala First time director Vijay Kanakamedala wants us to pause and pay attention to a fictional story inspired by several real-life incidents. Naandhi captures the journey of Surya Prakash as he is systematically broken down by police officer Kishore but despite all that’s stacked against him, holds on to some hope, with resilience. The film benefits from a good supporting cast — Harish Uttaman as the venomous cop, Vinay Varma as a shrewd politician and Praveen as the friend who desperately stands by Surya Prakash.
