Does he make his first movie? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.
Cast and Performance
Ashok Bandreddy as Mahesh is just okay. His face do not have any expressions and he do not have a looks of a hero, His only plus is his voice. Eesha Rebba is superb in her role as Namratha. She did a fantastic job as the female lead and made this movie a watchable fare with her expressions and her acting skills. Gemini Suresh is good in his role as co-director Swami. Noel Sean and Pujitha Ponnada are good. Sudharshan Reddy is good and generate few laughs. All other artists did good job as actors in their roles.
Writing department
Storyline of Dharshakudu is simple and good. Screenplay could have been better and dialogues are simple and good.
Technical departments
Songs composed by Sai Kartheek are good and his background score is good. Cinematography by Praveen Anumolu is good and has given this movie some good visuals. Editing is not so good and could have been much better during the second half. Art department did a nice job and production values are apt.

Verdict
Darshakudu is a movie which shows the mind state of a director and relationships around him. It has the story of an ambitious director who tries to make a natural movie with natural emotions. He uses his real life love story to make love story look natural in the movie. Screenplay during the first half is good at times and it is bad and lagging in the second half. Songs seem to be forced and they are also not so catchy and it makes audience leave into smoking zones to have a puff or something to relax. Director Sukumar who produced Kumari 21f, made a bad choice in producing this Darshakudu with his nephew as hero. He neither has hero looks nor acting skills. Opting for a better actor as lead hero could have made this movie some what better. The better choice the team made in casting Eesha Rebba as female lead who did a nice job. To sum up, Darshakudu is a disappointment from Sukumar writings.
