In these times of formula-ridden films, rarely do we get to watch a racy and riveting drama which is full of twists and thrills. Last Friday saw the release of Malupu, a Telugu dubbed version of the Tamil film Yagavarayinum Naa Kaakka.
Malupu stars Aadhi Pinisetty and it is directed by Satya Prabhas Pinisetty, both the sons of senior Telugu director Raviraja Pinisetty. Thanks to its intriguing plot and excellent execution, Malupu opened to highly positive critic reviews and good word of mouth.
However, lack of a crazy combo and Aadhi and Satya Prabhas being not too popular stars in Tollywood and no biggie backing the film, Malupu’s box-office collections are pretty weak and the film is not getting a decent footfall.
It is disheartening to see such a good thriller failing to get the audiences it deserves. All said and done, Malupu is that one genuinely good film which should not be missed in the theaters.
