Cast and Performance

Powerstar Pawan Kalyan who played the character of Abhishikth Bhargav did a super job. He is in almost every frame in first half and he is good in emotional sequences and action sequences. Kushboo as Indrani is nice. She has given a nice performance in this role. Boman Irani as Vinda is perfect. Keerthy Suresh and Anu Emmanuel do not have noteworthy characters but they are good in their own way. Rao Ramesh and Murali Sharma are superb. Aadhi Pinisetty has done a fantastic job in his character. Vennela Kishore is humorous. The new villain Parag Tyagi is good. Tanikella Bharani, Srinivasa Reddy and all other actors did their best.

Story of Agnyathavaasi is simple but it have many back stories. Screenplay is just fine and dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas are good.

Technical Department

Anirudh Ravichander who is getting into Telugu film industry as a music director has given a nice album. His background score is nice. Cinematography by Manikandhan is superb and the movie has some great visuals. Editing is okay but could have been a lot better. Action sequences are well composed and they surely impress fans of Pawan Kalyan a lot. Art department did nice work and production values are rich.

Highlights
Powerstar Pawan Kalyan
Songs by Anirudh Ravichander
Some comedy sequences

Minus
Flat Screenplay

Verdict
Agnyathavaasi is a story of a guy who is raised in a distant state as a back up plan to takeover the business after the founder’s death. As media articles are published, Trivikram Srinivas seems to be heavily inspired from the movie “Largo Winch”. Everyone expects a superb comedy and well written dialogues from him, but these elements are missing in this movie. A very flat first half and a second half where Trivikram Srinivas just relied on the mannerisms of Pawan Kalyan. His mannerisms may seem irritating to general audience as they are repetitive . The back stories narrated in the movie do not have necessary emotional impact. This movie might satisfy Pawan Kalyan fans but disappoint Trivikram fans. Just some enjoyable comedy tracks in second half and Pawan Kalyan are savers of the movie. To sum up, Agnyathavaasi fails to reach the sky high expectations with its flat screenplay.
