Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
What is “Hrudaya Kaleyam” about?
Sampoo is a thief on a mission. What is the mission and who is Sampoo is
what Hrudaya Kaleyam is all about.

How is Sampoornesh Babu’s performance?
Keeping in mind the kind of film Hrudaya Kaleyam is one couldn’t have asked for a better cast in the lead. Sampoo is perfectly fit for the film and that is what can be said about the performance.


Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
Direction by Sai Rajesh (Steven Sankar)?
Debutant Sai Rajesh clearly knows what he is aiming at and what he is making and that is what saves the film to a large extent and makes it watchable along with the irreverent humor. Clearing everything is overdone and over the top and the director seems to revel in it. There is obviously concern of excess but it’s okay for once.


Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
Other artists performance?
There are very limited number of characters in the movie and most of them thanks to their over the top performances and emotions get registered. Heroine of this enterprise though is Kavya Kumar and she plays the typical coy and righteous heroines seen in Telugu cinema regularly perfectly. Ishika Singh on the other hand playing the stereotypical second heroine who simply falls for hero’s charm and loves unconditionally. She is poor in her part though. Mahesh Katthi has the commissioner plays it to the galleries completely and is effective at that. There are a few other stereotypes that are mocked here through various characters like the villain Black Mamba or the hero’s friend or the doctor. They all do justice to the given parts.


Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
How is Music and other Department?
Music by RK is okay at best. Background score is comparatively better and helps in creating the impact. Cinematography is patchy and editing is jerky. Songs could have been more innovatively choreographed on the same spoof terrain.


Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
Highlights?
Dialogues.
Funny situations.

Drawbacks?
Feels like stretched beyond a point.
Too silly even though it’s intentional.
Music.


Hrudaya Kaleyam Review
What about the box office performance of the film?
This is a completely new experience for the audience. Will they go and watch something which mocks at their general viewing taste is to be seen. The film can survive in own way if its accepted even if there is
competition around.

Did I enjoy it?
Yes, in parts was completely in splits.

Will you recommend it?
Yes, but with a warning of the ‘spoof’ genre.
