Sridevi Soda Center is a very predictable love story with an honor-killing backdrop. With strong pre-climax and climax episodes, this film ends up being a decent one-time watch..
In a nutshell, “Sridevi Soda Center” is a clichéd story with a shocking climax part. Despite having gripping final sequences, the film is too serious and damn slow.
Bottom-line: No Soda, Only Water.
While the Sridevi Soda Center relied on regular songs and fights for commercial status, the only selling point would be an unconventional plot twist. We have to see how the movie will be welcomed by the audience..
Karuna Kumar tried to surprise movie lovers with the shock element of honor killing in Sridevi Soda Centre. Though he elevated it in a powerful and impactful manner, the routine and predictable story, listless narration, missing emotions, and powerful expressions, undid all his hard work. Despite the commitment of Sudheer Babu and Anandi, the forced scenes and artificial flavor bringing back memories of Uppena, Rangasthalam, etc, affected the film negatively. Considering all these aspects.
‘Sridevi Soda Center’ is yet another addition to the Indian movies with the theme of ‘caste killings’. Barring a deftly handled climax portion, it has predictable beats from start to end..
The technical and production values are of high standards, the Dialogues are commendable . Songs and action sequences are Good as well. But the movie is slow paced and might appeal to serious drama lovers. The BGM score and cinematography are good. Village rivalry along with the love track is shown interestingly. The run time is major drawback..
Sridevi Soda Center is an intense film that deals with inter-caste love theme. The second half especially pre-climax and climax are going to be a visual treat for the audience. It's a good movie to watch out for this weekend. Do follow all COVID protocols if you intend to watch the movie on the big screen..
Sridevi Soda Center’ is an intense film, with the routine inter-caste love theme, which slowly transforms into shocking climax portions. Production and Technical values are of high standards, the dialogues are commendable. Despite some positives, this slow-paced film might appeal only to serious drama lovers due to its dark tone..
On the whole, Sridevi Soda Center is small town romantic drama with a good backdrop. The rustic characters, amazing climax and impressive performances are basic assets. On the flip side, the film has a dull first half and just a passable love story. If you ignore these aspects, the film has some engaging moments to look out for and makes up for a decent watch..
