Review

The movie started off quite well and the director went directly into the story from the first scene itself. Some of the scenes in the first half are gripping and have Yeleti's mark suspense. The interval scene is the highlight of the film. But, the second half is quite underwhelming and the slow-paced narration will irk the audience. The climax becomes extremely predictable and though the second half has a couple of good scenes, it is a complete letdown for the audience.

Coming to the technical aspects, the production values are good. Music by Kalyani Malik is just average and failed to save the film. The visuals are grand. The screenplay is bad. The untimely revelation of twists makes the audience lose interest in the film.

As far as the performances are considered, Nithiin did a good job in his role. Rakul Preet justified her role. Though the screen time is less, Priya Varrier and Sampath Raj are decent in their roles. Sai Chand's performance is superb. Posani Krishna Murali delivered an honest performance.

Verdict

Despite having an interesting premise, 'Check' disappointed in engaging the viewers.
