Critics Review

Evaru is gripping to the core and has some decent technical values, but the film does lets itself down at times with gaps in the narration.

Evaru is gripping to the core and has some decent technical values, but the film does lets itself down at times with gaps in the narration. An additional subplot makes it more confusing and doesn't necessarily work, but it's an earnest attempt from Venkat Ramji for his debut film. If you've seen the Invisible Guest or the Hindi film Badla, you'd come out feeling slightly underwhelmed. But if you watch Evaru with an open mind, it'll end up surprising you. (more)

Adivi Sesh and Regina Cassandra deliver a slick thriller

Even though Evaru is a remake of the Spanish film The Invisible Guest, it deviates a little from the original. Director Venkat Ramji has done a splendid job in packing a punch with a brilliant screenplay.(more)

A gripping thriller!

Evaru is a great adaptation of the Spanish original. Unlike the Hindi version which was a mere copy, the Telugu version is different and full credit goes to director Ramji for his gripping narration. Adivi Sesh and Regina's stunning performances hold one's interest till the end. Evaru definitely deserves a watch and does not disappoint.(more)

a volley of questions and answers

Looking back, the film's title as it appears in the credits also holds a clue. It's a normal way of marketing a film to an audience that has already warmed up to its lead actor who has built a credible name for himself. But there's also something more.(more)

Adivi Sesh, Regina Cassandra's mystery thriller springs a pleasant surprise

Evaru is also an assured directorial debut for Venkat. Be it the way he keeps us hooked to the proceedings on screen or deliver a series of twists, Ramji's work makes you sit upright and take notice of this new talent in Telugu cinema. Sricharan Pakala's background score and Garry's slick editing help the film turn into an engaging thriller. Cinematographer Vamsi Patchipulusu captures the beauty of Coonoor and the mystery in the air quite well. The film is just under two hours and packs in plenty of surprises to keep us guessing about what would happen next. The storytelling might feel too fast and too verbose in the beginning, but the pay-off in the end is totally worth the effort.(more)

Engaging twists

Adivi Sesh impresses yet again with his latest outing Evaru. The film is a gripping murder mystery which has plenty of twits executed in a decent manner. Those who have seen the original will find the film just about okay but for those who haven't, the taut performances, gripping screenplay, and superb climax will surely impress them. Go for it.(more)
