Cast and Performance

Vijay Devarakonda as Arjun Reddy is a rage. He owned the character and we see only Arjun Reddy on screen and not Vijay Devarakonda. He looks handsome and his body language is superb. Shalini Pandey as Preethi Shetty is nice. She gave worthy performance and whenever she has lengthy dialogues, director used the expressions of Vijay Devarakonda to cover her, it seemed. Rahul Ramakrishna is superb as a friend of Vijay Devarakonda and everyone appreciates his performance in the movie. Priyadarshi is good as lawyer in his limited role. Kamal Kamaraj is good as brother of Arjun Reddy. All other actors did nice job as per their roles.

Verdict

Arjun Reddy is a love story told in a bold and unconventional way which Telugu films are new for. Director Sandeep Reddy Vanga did a superb job in penning the screenplay and executing the same on screen convincingly. He is definitely a superb talent to watch out for. After a superb and highly engaging first half, the film becomes slow and dips towards the climax. Some scenes could have chopped out of the movie to reduce the length. Barring that there is nothing more to complain in this movie. If not for Vijay Devarakonda, I cannot imagine any other actor in the role of Arjun Reddy. Perfect casting helped the movie and its emotion work from the beginning itself. There is a lot for youth to enjoy in this movie. To sum up, Arjun Reddy is a lot more than it’s trailer.
