Savyasachi.....Disaster
sainikhil0135 November 2018
Actually, i liked the concept, so wanted to give it a try. OMG! Chaitanya, should improve his acting skills in emotional scenes. The big wrong went with the director is, commercializing and making the concept movie fit into a formula movie. Madhavan was good, however, his talent wasn't utilized. What can one do, when the story went wrong( Its not madhavan's fault). Chandu mondeti..... I dont know, what pressure you were under, you compromised with a good concept and you spoilt the plot.

This is a -10 star movie
HollyGolightly613 November 2018
This movie is silly right from the beginning. Cinematic liberties in this movie is taken to the extent that the writers of Savyasachi misinterpreted and mixed the concept of vanishing twin syndrome, ambidexterity and dissociative personality. His left hand has a mind of it own - now that's stupid but it doesn't end there. Naga Chaitanya can't even move his left hand, I don't even want to talk about acting and dialogue delivery. Another star kid who echos his father dialogue and dances on Dad's remix song. Heroine Is just another prop to add movie time. Comic relief distracts us from this ridiculous concept. A serious tense track is suddenly intercepted with a scene directly from cheap comedy show like Zabardast. Bhomika had no role and Madhavan was just a cartoony villain. I recommend this movie if you want to pull your hair with 'both' hands.

Best
sankeerth-060482 November 2018
At Marthahalli Bengaluru 6 am show fully satisfied with Director Chendoo Mondeti, MM Keeravani garu, Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao garu and Cinematographer J. Yuvaraj. First half starts with small curiosity and shifts to the entertainment with vennela kishore and gang, after the introduction of R.Madhavan film take off will starts and ends with madhavan the best portrayal of the character. New girl Nidhi best choice for the role and she did the best in dance and acting etc. Finally NAGACHAITHANYA AKKINENI performed power packed performance and proved in dance and fights. and special thanks to the fight masters RAM-LAKSHMAN and lots of love to the director chendoo momdeti and mythri movie makers thanks a lot.

Disappointing. Can be skipped
supremedeamoness3 November 2018
There was a definitive hype regarding this movie. While the concept is an old one, it still seemed fresh. However, the exicusion of the movie was poor. The story line was very superficially dealt with. The dialogues were poor and the importantance of the hero was drawn down. Lately Madhavan's characters as a villain have been perfect and has induced a sort of dread. Unfortunately, his role has not done justice to him. His capacity and potential has not been utilised. This leaves the audience somewhat unfulfilled. The final verdict is that: the Telugu movie industry has yet to deliver a good thriller, this was definitely not it. Can be skipped.

Nice concept but ....
akhiln2812 December 2018
There is a new refreshing theme in this movie, 2 people in one body and I also really like its implication i.e. "his brother watching his back". There is so much potential in this concept. But the direction and small mistakes in the movie made it really hard to enjoy.

This is how a movie shouldn't be
gudivenkatsharma4 December 2018
I was very impressed with the concept when I saw the trailer. But lost the interest in first 30 mins. Movie was so aimless that you will be wondering what the director is trying to prove.

Ending Was Not Good
jpp147028 May 2019
This starts with a good story, the performance of Madhvan is awesome. Villain character is quite good in this movie but the last 30 minutes are disasteres, it feels that hero had the superhuman power and how he catch up the villain is very unappropriate.

Savyasachi Review
margulanabutrlov19 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There's a telling scene the film begins with, a bus filled with people who keep talking of Arun, an unseen individual whom all the strangers on the bus seem to know. Right then and there you know that you're dealing with someone who's prone to holding grudges and is willing to wait for a long time to extract his revenge, even if it means waiting for them to reach Kulu from Hyderabad. Why exactly does this man wait till they reach there and why now after so many years, you wonder, waiting for a plausible explanation to come through. And when it does come, you expect it to blow you away. But, does it?

Vikram (Naga Chaitanya) is the quintessential youngster with a happy family consisting of his sister (Bhumika), brother-in-law and loving niece Maha, whom he believes to be the reincarnation of his mother. Unfortunately for him, his family also consists of his twin Aditya, whom he absorbed before birth. Aditya is the polar opposite of Vikram, where the latter grabs pens and patiently woos women, the former is prone to to grabbing knives and slapping women on their bottoms - because why not, right? Aditya also likes to protect Vikram once in a while, when he's not too busy getting him into trouble.

The love of Vikram's life is Chitra (Nidhhi Agerwal), an old flame from college who now runs an antique store, filled with nostalgic pieces from the 80s and 90s. After hate-turned-to-love and misunderstandings galore, everything in Vikram's life seems to be finally in place, except it's not. Out to ruin him and his family is Arun (Madhavan), the cherubic looking evil incarnate, who thankfully steers clear of cliché by making his girlfriend a target too. When it's revealed why exactly Arun holds a grudge, it unfortunately comes as a fizzle instead of a bang.

In a tale where both the Savyasachi Vikram-Aditya and his evil counterpart Arun are important, simply not enough time is spent on building the character of the latter. In fact, the whole of the lengthy first half takes its own sweet time to establish the point. Despite the exciting start, proceedings turn slow with more than enough time spent on singing duets, romancing Chitra across two continents, leaning on family sentiment and a flashback establishing his childhood and the vanishing twin syndrome. Despite the few laughs peppered in between, thanks to Vennela Kishore and Shakalaka Shankar, one just powers through waiting for the film to get to the point.

And when it does get to it in the second half, the film still tries too hard to keep Chitra in the fold by injecting a tense narrative with yet another duet out of nowhere. At the end of it all, not enough time is simply spent on the cat and mouse game between Vikram and Arun. Whatever time is spent fails to make it engaging due to the dull narrative and the dynamics between the duo seems to run more on sheer luck than intelligence. An edge-of-the-seat thriller it is not.

What works for the film are the crisp visuals by Yuvaraj, MM Keeravani's music, and a few fights by Ram-Laxman which extract all the juice of the seemingly superhuman left hand. While Naga Chaitanya struggles with his facial expressions, not bringing the pain through in his blank face when needed, Madhavan aces through his role, despite it being underwritten and hastily explained away. Nidhhi Agerwal and Bhumika do the best with what they're offered, so do Rao Ramesh and Thagubothu Ramesh.

Watch this one if you're a Naga Chaitanya or Madhavan fan, but definitely leave your brains at home for this one.

Failed attempt of a good storyline
vickynikhil3 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Savyasachi...Had no idea about the movie a day before its release...The very fact of an interesting concept like vanishing twin syndrome was intriguing and dragged me to the premiere...The movie started off with an interesting scene of a bus falling from a high altitude and opening up the hero characterization....The hero Vikram was born with an abnormal disorder where his left hand was controlled by his twin brother whose neurons remain in Vikram's brain. After the interesting 10 minutes, the next one hour the director forgot about the movie plot and designed some routine love,comedy tracks which had no relation to the storyline...The entire US episode was pointless and it just increased the runtime by another 20 min...The villain character opened up in the interval bang and gave a new hope to the movie...The second half started off with few interesting scenes where hero tries to find the villain with few clues...Just when the story plot became engaging,there was an unnecessary comedy skit and a duet song remix..The motive of the villain and the plot was revealed in the pre-climax but it was not convincing and looked silly...Overall this movie is a lost opportunity where the director could have used the hero's disorder to his strength and worked on the script.The screenplay is clumsy and narration is disengaging with the routine commercial elements. In a time when Telugu cinema is changing with directors telling new age stories in an interesting manner, this movie is a total disappointment.

Good concept - shoddy direction
aloknandak18 December 2018
Could have been a unique film in the hands of an able director. Screenplay is BAD and the music doesn't help the movie either.

Another Telugu crap. Madhavan is on the wrong track
saru20204 October 2020
Another really crappy Telugu made with known/popular faces in it. I started watching just because of Madhavan who is choosy in his script but I was just fooled. The concept of a soulful left hand was a good one but the maker didn't think of much of interesting scenes to make use of this unique not-shown concept, I feel that it could've been utilised to a more extent aka not utilised to its potential/threshold. In the end, it feels like a same old crappy usual Telugu vengeance drama w/o much of masala added to it.

Worst of Telegu Cinema
sebs-1553227 March 2021
I watched the movie only because of Madhavan and his performance as villain was the only good thing about this movie. Everything else is just utter bs, you have to be completely stupid to make this kind of movies. Feels like watching a parody of an action movie. 0/10.
