For Nani and his fans, it's a moment to celebrate as his new film Sham Singha Roy hits screens on the eve of Christmas, ending a streak of OTT releases. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, the film is a reincarnation story centered around love.

Vasudev Ghanta (Nani) quit her IT job to pursue her passion for film making. He is determined to direct a low-budget short film that would later become the ticket to his debut. He runs into her Keerthi (Krithi Shetty) at her friend's cafe and hires her to star in his short film. 

Shyam Singha Roy hails from a conservative and upper class family in Bengali and is a fearless writer. He fights against caste inequality and the exploitative devadasi system. Despite being an atheist, he participates in Navratri ceremonies at the local Kali temple and courts a devadasi named Maitri (Sai ​​Pallavi).

Somewhere along the way, he loves flowers and spends Navaratri nights by the river. The first half of the film moves along nicely, drawing strength from the charm of the actors. It's especially cool during this time, and there's no distraction from what's going on. It culminates in a deliciously unpredictable twist. But as the second half begins, it feels like it drags on as the director resorts to tired clichés as key conflicts.

A lot of time and footage is spent on the love trajectory of Shyam and Maitri. Furthermore, the director does little to justify the ordeal that Shyam's family endured, and the brothers' reunion feels comfortable and perfectly reconciled. Born from Pallavi's lovely chemistry.

Some scenes are well done, like Shyam cooking food for her friends and building houses for other Devadasi women. A few sensitive and emotional moments, such as a printing press owner with a heart, also fit the story well.Director Rahul Sankritchan seems to be able to handle these conventional scenes better.

Moments like this are rare in a film this lazy that can't even tap into the imagination needed for a supernatural thriller. Not even surprising. The logic behind it and the backstory of the supernatural premise are hardly smart.

In all honesty, many of his issues go unnoticed as Shyam Singha Roy has moved away from the lead actress with his real acting. Like Abhinav Gomatam, who is always by Vasdev's side, Rahul Rabindran, a caring brother who lives his life with a sense of guilt and remorse, Madonna Sebastian as Vasdev's lawyer, all against her wit. use weapons.

Shyam Singha Roy was the most honest portrayal of Nani, giving a bold and moving performance. They give her all types of roles and Sai Pallavi certainly knows how to take charge. She brought the role to life and proved to be the film's greatest strength.
