In this whodunit, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, the sophistication in filmmaking is matched by a sophisticated worldview. But it needed a better closing stretch.
Spoilers ahead…
I want a pair of headphones that can replicate the sound from a theatre experience. I know a lot of home-theatre set-ups have speakers that surround you, but there’s still a diminishment of sound> Headphones are better. The sound doesn’t leak out. It stays locked in. Before the release of Karthik Subbaraj’s Jigarthanda, I spoke to the film’s sound engineers about the mixing that was done according to Dolby Atmos specifications. With earlier technologies, we used to hear the sound of rain from the two sides of the theatre: the speakers on the left and those on the right. Now, because the “rain sound” can be restricted to the overhead speakers alone, we can hear the rain fall over us, the way it does in life. I want this at home.

This slow-burn thriller is a decent watch but had issues with too many red herrings thrown in, few ridiculous ones, and a bummer of an end.

These new-gen Telugu films are definitely refreshing. It’s nice to at least see some attempts to venture out of the masala films that Tollywood is making way too many of. The movie kept giving Rohit SO MANY things to do, almost as if to show the audience that they thought of everything that could be done in an investigation. They just threw out a bunch of ideas and never followed up on them; it would have been nicer to stick to fewer investigative methods.

Dear BR, could you please review Jaanu (its on AP)? Would love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to the original, 96′ and the performances.
