Daksha : Latest Telugu Movie Review

Daksha : Latest Telugu Movie Review

Plot

Balram Varma (Siddique), chairman of B-Pharma Labs, is a renowned businessman secretly conducting dangerous human experiments. When one of his associates is mysteriously murdered in Hyderabad, a string of killings follows. These murders baffle the police until CI Daksha (Lakshmi Manchu) takes charge of the investigation. Who is behind these killings? What role does Ayurvedic doctor Mythili (Chitra Shukla) play in the case? And how does the famous psychology professor Dr. Vishwamitra (Mohan Babu Manchu) connect to this conspiracy? The answers unfold as the thriller progresses.

Overview

Daksha – The Deadly Conspiracy is a medical crime investigation thriller with familiar elements like human trials, revenge, and corporate cover-ups. Though backed by strong performers like Lakshmi Manchu and Mohan Babu, the screenplay fails to engage fully, leaving the film less impactful than expected.

Performances

  • Lakshmi Manchu shines with a stylish attitude as CI Daksha, delivering a neat performance with grace and ease.
  • Mohan Babu brings gravitas and experience to his role, especially in face-off and climax sequences.
  • Chitra Shukla does justice to her character Mythili.
  • Viswant Duddumpudi impresses as the young actor in key sequences.
  • Supporting roles by Samudrakani and Siddique are effective.
  • Director Vamsi Krishna Malla also appears in a small but crucial role.

Technical Aspects

  • Cinematography (Gokul Bharathi): Decent visuals, effective setup for the thriller backdrop.
  • Music (Achchu Rajamani): Background score is passable, but nothing memorable.
  • Editing (Madhu Reddy): Weak; many scenes feel stretched or rushed, making the narrative clumsy.
  • Production Values: Adequate for the story, though certain sequences could have been polished better.

Positives

  • Lakshmi Manchu’s stylish screen presence.
  • Mohan Babu’s versatile acting.
  • A couple of twists involving both lead characters.
  • Some emotional moments in the second half.

Negatives

  • Routine storyline with predictable medical-crime tropes.
  • Flat and slow-paced first half.
  • Unnecessary and illogical scenes dilute the narrative.
  • Missed opportunities to create gripping suspense.
  • Several rushed moments in the second half, leaving gaps.
  • Weak climax, which would have been better without the ending song.

Analysis

“Daksha – The Deadly Conspiracy” had the potential to be an engaging thriller but falters due to uninspired writing and execution. Despite solid performances and a few twists, the film struggles with pacing, logical loopholes, and lack of freshness in its theme. A tighter screenplay and focus on suspense could have made it a more compelling watch.

Bottomline: Dull Thriller

 

Rating: 2.5/5
