Appudo Ippudo Eppudo Movie Review – Rating: 2.50/5

Story and Overview

Appudo Ippudo Eppudo follows Rishi, a race car driver and occasional thief living in London. His life takes a complex turn when he reunites with his girlfriend Tara (Rukmini Vasanth) only to have his past romance with Tulasi (Divyansha Kaushik) resurface, bringing a dark connection to a mafia don. The movie tries to blend romance and crime in an international setting, but its themes feel overly familiar, with many narrative elements seeming repetitive and lacking originality.

Performance and Reception

Nikhil Siddhartha delivers a charismatic performance as Rishi, bringing energy to his scenes with Rukmini and Divyansha, whose debut in Tollywood has been appreciated for her refreshing presence. While the movie visually impresses with its London backdrop and high production values, the screenplay and story structure fall short. The first half, centered on romance, drags, and the villain’s role is poorly realized, reducing the film’s impact. Although the final few scenes bring some action-packed twists, they arrive too late to fully redeem the storyline.

Box Office and Promotion Challenges

Appudo Ippudo Eppudo faced delays due to the pandemic and production halts, which weakened its promotional momentum. Released just days before Suriya’s anticipated Kanguva, the film struggles to maintain screen space amid strong competition. Initial day collections, hovering around ₹1.5–2 Crores, reflect moderate interest but fall short of expectations for a film starring Nikhil, who has seen more successful releases in recent years

Verdict

While Appudo Ippudo Eppudo offers a few entertaining performances and technical polish, it ultimately suffers from a predictable plot and inconsistent pacing. The film might appeal to fans of lighthearted romance-action dramas but doesn’t bring enough freshness to stand out in Nikhil’s filmography.
