Directed by Padmavathi Malladi, the film released in theatres today. Here’s our review to see how it fares. Story: Set in the village of Adluru, Telangana, the film follows Gandhi (Sukriti Veni), a young girl who learns the principles of Mahatma Gandhi from her grandfather, Ramachandraya (Ananda Chakrapani). When a minister’s spokesperson, Satish (Rag Mayur), persuades the villagers to sell their land for a chemical factory, Ramachandraya refuses, as his land holds a tree he deeply cherishes. Before passing away, he entrusts Gandhi with the task of protecting the tree at all costs. Gandhi takes on the responsibility, facing opposition from the villagers and Satish. The story revolves around whether she succeeds in saving the tree. Plus Points: Sukriti Veni’s performance is a standout in her debut film. She portrays the character of Gandhi with ease and authenticity, delivering a natural and heartfelt performance. Ananda Chakrapani is also impressed by his portrayal of the loving grandfather, and his emotional scenes with Sukriti are touching. Though in a limited role, Rag Mayur performs well, and the supporting cast does a decent job in their respective roles. The director effectively conveys the film’s core message of achieving goals through non-violence (Ahimsa Marg).
