First of all, I am glad we are making such inspiring and educational movies. Honestly, I had no idea about Srikanth Bolla before this movie. Now, I am so impressed with him who is still in his early 30's.

The problem with the movie is, the writers just got side-tracked. One of the very important characters, the teacher Devika, was totally ignored. She existed because Srikanth existed. What about her own life? A person who did so much for a blind person had no life? No family. No job. No feelings. Just nothing. It's like she was a pawn who was used whenever needed. Also, looks like she never got old with time.

About Srikanth. Rajkumar Rao did a great job, but it was a movie. It looks like he (or the director) was too focused on the acting side, which included too many close-ups and his facial movements.

The romantic side of the movie is also lacking. When you have a young girl in India who connects with a blind man in the US, and it lasts for 10 years, you really have to make the audience feel the love. Nope. Not in this movie.

Instead, the writers spent time on clever arguments. The airport scene was a very long scene. I was hoping they would have emphasized some other characters, like his own parents, who are treated as guest artists.

The ending was a bit too fast too. I guess they ran out of time with all those slow and unnecessary scenes.

But,. It was a good movie overall and worth watching, especially with the family.

The journey of the real life Srikant Bolla is wonderful and worthy of adulation. The same cannot be said about this film. The movie runs fast for a biopic, and tells a story, but it fails to reason out the inner journey of the protagonist. It tells you the 'what' and 'how', but not the 'why' effectively - something that the director and writers haven't done justice to. Still, very much watchable.

However, you won't get any aha moments, because almost every cinematically glorious shot from the 2+hour movie is already shown in the 2 minute trailer!

When you see what's unfolding on the screen, you already know the punchline and how the scene ends!

The trailer was just superb - but it took away the essence of the cinematic experience.
