Racharikam Movie Analysis:
Nowadays, there is a trend of period films and action films. Such films are becoming increasingly popular. The movie that came out as a part of it is `Racharikam`. It has period elements as well as action and thriller elements. The special thing about it is that it takes place in a village backdrop. This makes the film feel very natural. It feels like the story is happening before us.
Suresh Lankalapalli made this movie based on some of the events that happened in 1980. He unveiled it on screen just as naturally. In the village, a younger sister who wants to excel in politics, a younger sister in between, falls in love with another party leader, and the family members do not tolerate this.
Also, scenes involving revenge politics seem regular. Otherwise, as the scenes progress in a thrilling manner, curiosity is created that what will happen next will be created. That is what engages the audience.
Recently, Telangana backdrop movies are also coming up in droves. They are becoming a formula for success. The way the Telangana backdrop has been unveiled in this one too is good. The romance between the hero and heroine, action scenes, and emotions are well-developed in the movie. That is the main strength of the movie. The first and second half of the film proceeds normally. But the climax is planned strongly. The pace of the story increases from the pre-climax. Curiosity is created.
It takes it to the peak of the climax. In this sequence, there are many twists and turns in the story. They thrill the audience. It would have been even better if the second half was planned as well as the first half. Overall, it can be said that the action scenes, sentiments and emotions in the backdrop of the Telangana period are the highlights. The political drama is another highlight.

Varun Sandesh is impressive in the role of Vivek Reddy. It is special that there are negative shades in his role. Varun has shown the uniqueness of his acting. He is impressive. Vijay Shankar has done well as the hero. He got into the role. He succeeded in cultivating emotions. With this movie, he goes to a different level as an actor.

Technically:
Arya Saikrishna's camera work is good. The visuals are stunning. The songs are also good. But the BGM is impressive. Vengi's background music is not bad. It is very elevated in many places. There is no shortage of production values. More care should have been taken in terms of editing. The dialogues written by G. Ram Prasad are very intense and powerful. They are a big plus for the movie.
Director Suresh Lankalapalli.. Even though this movie seems to be made in the old format, he succeeded in making it engaging. He wrote the twists and turns in the story well. He unveiled them on the silver screen just as well. He succeeded as a director. He said that emotions are more important than the story. He did a good job as a director, even for his first film. He impressed.
