Simbaa is a low-budget film that not many know that was released in the first place. Gautami, Jagapathi Babu, and Anasuya play key roles in this film which has hit the screens today. Murali Manohar Reddy has directed this film which has music by Krishna Suarabh. Read our detailed review here.

Story

Aksha (Anasuya) is an exemplary teacher with a gentle nature. After her husband loses his legs in an accident, Aksha takes on the responsibility of running the household. However, everything changes one day when she sees a man on the street. Something shifts in Aksha, and she inexplicably follows the man and brutally murders him. Police officer Anurag (Vashishtha Simha) and journalist Fazil (Srinath) begin investigating the case. In a surprising twist, Fazil experiences the same sudden change that Aksha did, and he joins her in killing another person. The mysterious transformation then spreads to Dr. Irani (Anish Kuruvilla), and the three of them together commit yet another murder. The story revolves around the mystery of what has changed in these three individuals and why they are killing people.

What about on-screen performances?

Anasuya is impressive in the pivotal role. As a good teacher and wild in many action scenes, she was impressive with her performance. Jagapathi Babu has played a new role as an environmentalist, and he makes his presence felt.

Vasishtha Simha is perfectly set as a serious police officer. Srinath, who appeared in another key role, also acted well. The director’s design of Anish Kuruvilla’s character is good to see on screen.

The heroine, Divi, is impressive in her role. With each film, she gets better and holds our attention. Gauthami, Kasturi, and the rest of the actors also acted well in their roles.

What about off-screen talents?

With the new concept of cellular memory and biological memory, Simbaa has a good message related to the environment. The way interest is maintained in the story for a while looks good in the film.

Why do good people suddenly commit murders? This aspect is interestingly established. Jagapathi Babu has played a new role as an environmentalist, and one of his episodes related to this aspect is the highlight of the movie itself.

Although the new concept of biological memory in the film is good, many scenes are narrated very slowly. After a while, there are so many moments that feel a lot predictable and routine in the narrative.

Similarly, the changes in the main characters should have been shown a little better. The angle of why they are behaving like that should be strongly elevated. It would have been a plus for the movie.

Also, Simba’s second-half flashback episode also seems stretched. Moreover, some of the scenes in this flashback are silly and logicless. The revenge drama could have been elevated a bit more.

The editing is not that great, as so many scenes in the first half could have been chopped off to improve things. The production values are also not that great and could have been better.

The screenplay is good only in a few scenes, and the camera work is just about okay. But Krishna Sourabh’s music is very good. His BGM especially impresses us in the narrative.

What’s Hot

  • Anasuya’s performance
  • Social message given
  • Murder scenes

What’s Not

  • Dragged narrative
  • Predictable storyline
  • Lag in scenes
  • Runtime issues

Verdict

Overall, Simbaa has a very good subject, but it is spoilt by some illogical narration. The social message holds your attention, but to come to this point, the extra elements that are showcased bore the audience.
