Telugu Film “Psych Siddhartha” Explores Trauma and Healing, Falls Short on Impact
Hyderabad, India – “Psych Siddhartha,” a Telugu film starring and produced by Sri Nandu, hit theaters on January 1st, aiming to deliver a story of youthful heartbreak and eventual healing. Directed by Varun Reddy, the film features Yamini Bhaskar as the female lead, along with Priyanka Rebbecca, Simha N, and Sukesh Reddy in supporting roles. However, the movie received mixed reviews.
The story centers on Siddhartha (Nandu), who starts an event management company for his girlfriend, Trisha (Priyanka Rebbecca). He is betrayed when Trisha and Mansoor (Sukesh Reddy) have an affair and kick him out of his own company, leaving him financially ruined. He rents a room in a modest building, where he encounters Sravya (Yamini Bhaskar), a woman fleeing an abusive marriage. The film explores how their shared pain leads to a connection and asks if they can find solace in each other.
Critics note that while the film attempts a different visual style and explores character-driven narratives, the storyline lacks a compelling core. The reviewers felt it difficult to connect with the hero’s character, with some finding the emotional impact of his heartbreak underwhelming. Yamini Bhaskar’s performance as Sravya, the abused wife, was noted as a highlight, eliciting sympathy and resonating more effectively with the audience.
The film’s attempt to cater to a younger audience is evident in its editing style, although some found the excessive use of on-screen text distracting. The music by Smaran Sai was considered adequate.
Reviewers noted Sri Nandu’s commitment to the role, stepping outside his comfort zone and fully embodying the character. The director was credited for showing love between a man and a woman divorced with a child, although was criticized for using bold scenes to attract audience to the movie. Ultimately, most agreed that while “Psych Siddhartha” has its moments, it struggles to deliver a consistently engaging and emotionally resonant experience and could be a success only with Yamini Bhaskar and Nandu’s performance.
