Story
In the plot, Migil (Mohan Bhagat) is incarcerated in Kala Ghadi Jail. Unexpectedly, just one day before his execution, he vanishes from his cell without a trace, despite all locks and barriers being intact. This bewildering event prompts the involvement of a detective (Ravindra Vijay), who embarks on a quest to unravel the mystery. In the course of his investigation, Migil’s diary surfaces.

In the movie, Mohan Bhagat delivers an exceptional performance as Migil, capturing the complexity of his character with finesse. Supritha Satyanarayana performs capably in the female lead, while Surabhi Prabhavathi excels as the mother. Bhooshan effectively portrays a scientist, demonstrating notable talent. Laxman Meesala and Ravindra Vijay, along with the rest of the cast, also deliver impressive performances in their respective roles.
Direction Review
Director Ajay Nag presents a novel narrative in this film, blending the theme of needing a companion in life with the scientific experiment of Deja Vu to weave suspense. He adeptly guides the story and screenplay, keeping the intrigue alive throughout. While the film has its slower moments, the suspense is effectively sustained to the end. Nonetheless, the absence of commercial elements could be seen as a drawback, potentially limiting its appeal to a broader audience.

Sinjit Yarramilli’s background music significantly enhances the scenes, adding depth and emotion. The art department’s work is commendable, and the overall production values are well-suited to the film’s scale.
