Srikanth

“Rajkummar Rao is one of the few actors who is capable of fully inhabiting his role, and even more important, shed all vanity in the process. Despite its limitations, the film chooses to tell the story of someone who refused to be labelled a bechara and celebrates an individual who managed to lift himself from a hole in the ground to someone who created a job for himself and countless people like him.”

“...an inspiring tale told in an entertaining manner and is also laced with an award-winning performance by Rajkummar Rao. At the box office, it has the potential to succeed, if it gets thumbs up from the target urban audience.”

“Breaking the biopic mold, Srikanth offers a refreshingly honest portrayal that celebrates potential over glorification. It will leave you feeling inspired and sparing a thought for those with disabilities who deserve human dignity and equal opportunities like all of us!”

“The film deserves a watch, if not for anyone/anything, then at least for Srikanth Bolla, a man, who, even without sight, truly sees the world in so many different hues.”

“Srikanth, directed by Tushar Hiranandani, tells the story with honesty and takes a refreshing approach to disability representation. Rajkummar Rao's portrayal of Srikanth Bolla isn't reliant on exaggerated or harmful stereotypes, and this honesty and effort is enough to make the film stand out in a crowd.”

“Despite the flaws, an effortless Rajkummar Rao makes this biopic worth watching. I would recommend it as a one-time watch.”

“Rajkummar Rao shines in an awe-inspiring & well-crafted biographical drama”

“There's honesty in Tushar Hiranandani's vision of how he wanted to convey Srikanth Bolla's journey on the big screen.”

“Rajkummar Rao does the best with what he is given and he ably elevates the generic story-telling. Yet, Srikanth fails to soar because of the all too-familiar conventions of a standard biopic. Too bad that his performance remains the only takeaway from such an inspiring real-life story.”

“Despite Rajkummar Rao's affable performance, 'Srikanth' is unconvincing. The writing is so bland and filled with broad strokes that there are no layers to any of the characters, resulting in a screenplay that feels like a quick scan of Srikanth's CV and nothing more rather than a genuine exploration of him as a person.”
