A straight biopic marred by melodrama
There is a slight attempt to shake the glorifying, run-of-the-mill biopic. Srikanth develops a power-hungry attitude in the second half. He starts using his disability to pull favours. It's a diabolically nice touch but is rather quickly resolved, as if added as an afterthought. Before you know it, ...(more)

Rajkummar Rao brings skill and sincerity to this inspiring biopic
Still, despite its limitations, I will take �Srikanth�.

Rajkummar Rao bowls you over with his resilience and wit in this inspiring biopic
Srikanth is not preachy; it's just stating facts. It does stress on the fact that while others have sight, the visually challenged have a vision, but it never tries to show them as less privileged.
