"Skanda," directed by Boyapati Srinu, who previously helmed the successful "Akhanda" with Balayya Babu, falls short of expectations. The film follows a routine Telugu storyline, offering nothing fresh or innovative.
One of the film's glaring flaws is its songs and their placements, which are poorly executed, significantly contributing to its downfall. The music by Thaman, known for his high DJ sounds, disappoints once again.
Ram Pothineni does his best in the hero role, especially in portraying a rugged character, but the lack of a compelling storyline and supporting elements hinders his performance.
Sree Leela's presence in the film seems unnecessary, as there's no clear reason for her character's inclusion.
The first half of the movie is relatively better than the second half, which struggles to maintain the audience's interest.
The film hints at a sequel, but given the quality of this installment, it's safe to say that we don't need a "Skanda 2."
The action sequences lack the over-the-top physics typical of Boyapati's older films, which may disappoint fans of his style.
If you're still interested in watching "Skanda," it might be a better choice to do so through an OTT platform, as it fails to live up to the standards set by Boyapati's previous work in "Akhanda."
