    Review

    Tharun Bhascker's show stands out among the four stories. Manchu Lakshmi hogs the limelight with her powerful performance. The background is authentically rural while the approach is stylish, with cinematographer Niketh Bommi’s grainy visuals for the show and Vivek Sagar’s European folksy pieces working in contrast to the native beats. 

    The performances are pitch-perfect, with Lakshmi rejoicing in the task given to her and Naveen living it up. Newcomer Saanve Megghana is terrific. She exposes her prowess to perform for author-backed roles. 

    Richard Prasad’s cinematography and Mickey J Meyer’s music add to the ominous mood. 

    Nandini Reddy's approach is laudable. She has proper backing for her execution from Amala Paul and Jagapathi Babu. The only flaw remains a few speckles in the story narration from her and the obvious end. 

    xLife fromNag Ashwin looks like an attempt at experimenting a wee bit more, and the director doesn’t end up gratifying everyone. Although 

    xLifeis ambitious, and is made by a technically sound team, and articulates relevant ideas it looks implausible. The ideas don’t translate into a completely engaging film. The twist can also be detected too early in the play. 

    Sankalp Reddy’s narrative has all the ingredients power-packed performances from Satyadev and Eesha Rebba, but all it lacks is a plot. The wavering narration takes its toll on the film. 

    Verdict

    Watch Pitta Kathalu without high expectations. Tharun Bhascker's show is the go-to amongst all.
