Tollywood is surprising us with some out of the box and sensible films.
It is a perfect thriller in Telugu, This type of movies takes industry into next level in intelligence in story telling.
Kshanam falls in that category and does not fall for the so called commercial trap.
The way all the twists and turns are narrated in a racy manner is what clicks with Kshanam.
Racy narration, suspense factor and terrific performances from the lead casts.
Kshanam ends up as an intense and enjoyable thriller which will not disappoint you at all.
Go watch it.

"A film which has all ingredients for a thriller movie making it a must watch film for everyone"My rating- 5/5 (one of the best edge of the seat thriller)Positives-1.)Direction,script and story- Outstanding direction. Movie becomes a variety thriller only because of Ravikanths direction. He fuses flashback in present scenes at right places making it a non linear film. I don't know if its a directors idea or scriptwriters idea but the mixing was one of the main thing i found it as amazing in this thriller film which made us excited at certain scenes. Story was an ordinary one and it comes to the point nearing to end. In start and middle the movie was slightly lagging with clichéd scenes but that doesn't matter much because of direction and script. Script was superb and as i said before fusing of flashback in present was excellent idea in narration. I have seen the fusing in many films but in this one it had uniqueness maybe because of the outstanding direction. It had many dialogues which were apt to the story and it also helped in thrilling scenes.2.) Adivi,adah and anusuya- Adivi as main character nailed it with his noticing acting skills. His acting was apt and no faults in it. Next is adah the female main character was also superb. All emotions as a mother and girlfriend was rightly portrayed. Anusuya was good and rest of the cast was also good.3.) Bgscore- Bgscore was excellent and suited well especially in thrilling scenes and emotional scenes. It was also variety one and it succeeded in giving us feel to the movie. 4.)Cinematography5.)Suspense and twistsNegatives- (nothing)Is it a must watch movie? YesOverall- This movie deserves 5/5 because it has all the ingredients for it. Its surely a must watch movie. I am sad that only Telugu audience will be watching it but I recommend that it requires a remake so that many people will notice it. I hope it gets remaked. In short I loved it. Keep it up to the entire team and hope I can see meaningful movies like this in Telugu industry

This is an excellent thriller which has all the aspects clearly worked out. The story starts with the backdrop of what initially seems like a car robbery, which actually turns out to be a kidnap of a little girl. The set of events that turn out when Rishi starts asking questions would take you on a ride.An excellent background score maintains the gripping suspense in the turn out of all the events. Highlighting sentiments like humanity, the evils in the society, love the movie is an overall entertainer. Really happy that such a movie is made in Telugu and I'm hoping that good chances will be given to such exciting and new stories in the future.

Very rarely does a movie hook you from the first scene and this is one such gem. And it makes even more fun that i watched this by fluke looking at the interesting title, even though it had unknown cast and a so-called low-budget. But as we have seen often, the finest movies have come from little known small budget movies. Also rare is the genre of true suspense without distraction of garish masala and Kshanam fits this bill of a real suspense thriller. No meaningless songs or comedy track etc to play to the gallery. Again, another rare for a telugu movie.Guy living in US gets called by his ex-Girlfriend for urgent help. Landing in India, he finds himself in middle of inexplicable happenings while trying to help solve her problem. Saying another more will spoil the fun of watching. So, check it out.The Script and screenplay are the super strengths of the movie. Hardly any dull moment, clever use of flashbacks and revealing just enough at the right time, keeping one step ahead of the viewer in the guessing game of what is really going on. And acting from the new faces is excellent, matching the script. Also, the background score is wisely subdued. Overall, a must watch movie. Enjoy!
