‘Suryapeta Junction' review: A youthful ride with a political punch

Hans India25-04-2025

Rajesh Nadendla's Suryapeta Junction hits the screens as a refreshing political comedy drama that intertwines youth energy with a strong social commentary. Backed by Yogalakshmi Art Creations and produced by Anil Kumar Katragadda and N. Srinivas Rao, the film captures attention with its vibrant treatment and an intriguing plot centered around the darker side of political freebies. Let's see how it fares at box-office.
Story:
The story revolves around Arjun (Eeshwar), a free-spirited college student who enjoys his carefree days with four close friends. Life takes an emotional turn when he falls for Jyothi (Naina Sarwar), while in parallel, the city is gripped by Narasimha (Abhimanyu Singh), a shrewd politician trying to woo voters with a strategic freebies campaign. The sudden murder of Seenu, one of Arjun's friends, sets off a chain of shocking revelations. As Arjun delves deeper, he uncovers sinister motives behind seemingly generous political offerings, keeping the audience hooked with suspense, satire, and social relevance.
Performances:
Eeshwar impresses in the lead role with his solid screen presence, seamlessly blending charm, emotion, and energy. His performance marks him as a promising young talent. Naina Sarwar adds grace and chemistry, perfectly complementing Eeshwar. Abhimanyu Singh brings depth and menace to the role of Narasimha, while Sanjay delivers an impactful performance as Karna. The supporting cast, including Rajesh, Surya, Seenu, Tony, Chammak Chandra, and Chalapathi Chanti, inject the right dose of humor and camaraderie.
Technicalities:
Rajesh Nadendla's direction ensures a smooth narrative flow, merging comedy, action, and a strong message. Arun Prasad's cinematography offers a visual treat, with every frame vibrant and compelling. The soundtrack by Roshan Saluri and Gaurahari is peppy and memorable, especially the catchy 'Matching Matching' number. With sharp editing and top-tier production quality, the film's technical aspects elevate its impact.
Analysis:
Suryapeta Junction smartly packages youth appeal with a socially conscious plot. It questions the ethics of political freebies while staying rooted in entertainment. The gripping climax, relatable characters, and engaging screenplay ensure the film resonates with both young audiences and the socially aware.
A bold mix of fun and awareness, Suryapeta Junction strikes the right balance—engaging, thought-provoking, and thoroughly entertaining.

Aamir Khan on age gap with Genelia Deshmukh, nephew Imran Khan's first co-star : ‘Ab Imran bhi kafi meri age ka…'

When a picture of Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh from the sets of their upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par went viral last year, fans were obviously excited. It was a fresh, unexpected yet promising pairing. But seeing them together also reminded several netizens of another cute pairing that we witnessed 17 years ago — Aamir's nephew Imran Khan in his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na (2008) opposite Genelia! 17 years ago, Genelia played Imran's (42) onscreen BFF turned girlfriend. And now, Genelia (37) is all set to portray the character of Aamir's (60) onscreen wife. A post shared by Aamir Khan Productions (@aamirkhanproductions) Well, in a recent chat with Indian Express, Aamir Khan opened up about his 23 year age gap with Genelia Deshmukh and if it was a concern. Aamir shared, 'Ya, I know. But that was a long time ago. And ab Imran bhi kafi meri age ka ho gaya hai (laughs). That thought did come to me, but in the film, we're both playing characters in the age group of early 40s. She's around that age. I'm 60, but in today's day and age, we have the advantage of VFX. Earlier, if I played an 18-year-old, I had to rely on prosthetic.' A post shared by Zee Music Company (@zeemusiccompany) Aamir went on to give Anil Kapoor's example, who played the role of a man 40 years older than the actor's age at that time in Eeshwar (1989). Bollywood's Mr Perfectionist concluded, 'So, age is not a barrier for actors anymore.' Well, Imran and Genelia were adorable as Rats and Meow in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Let's wait and watch if Aamir and Genelia's fresh onscreen chemistry as husband and wife in Sitaare Zameen Par manages to make a lasting impact. We have high expectations! Sitaare Zameen Par, the much awaited sequel of Aamir's 2007 masterpiece Taare Zameen Par, is all set to arrive in theatres on June 20.
