At the same time, Bhanumathi promises her dad that she would never leave him even after her marriage. What happens to the love of Bhanumathi? What happens to the promise she made to her father? This questions form the rest of the story.

Cast and performance

Varun Tej is superb as NRI and he is good at his body language. He looks handsome and he is a perfect fit into the role. Sai Pallavi is excellent as Bhanumathi and the energy she pumped and carried throughout the movie is fantastic. The way she acted in some sequences is a treat to watch. Harshvardhan Rane is good in his limited role. Satyam Rajesh who comes in the second half is funny and generate laughs. All other actors have done well upto the extent of their characters.

Verdict

Fidaa is a movie which has its expectations because of Sekhar Kammula and Dil Raju. Movie begins with the introduction of Varun Tej and his life in America and then it shifts to a village in Telangana. This is where the real fun starts and the real Sekhar Kammula comes out. There are some scenes which seem vulgar if they are attempted by any other director but they seem nice and funny when seen in Fidaa directed by Sekhar Kammula. He has written a very strong character for heroine Sai Pallavi in the name of Bhanumathi and it is the best part of the movie. This character has even dominated Varun’s character in the movie and the funny moments written are well conceived. This half ends where Sai Pallavi promises her father and second half begins in a lighter vein and it shifts back to America where love hate story between Varun and Bhanu runs. To sum up, Fidaa is a pure Sekhar Kammula’s mark movie which we are missing since many years.
