Karmanye Vaadhikarasthe story is penned by Amardeep Challapalli. He planned to thrill viewers with the story drawing inspiration from the real life incidents in the recent past.
He starts the narration in an interesting manner and surprises with the three way investigation. However with the passage of time, the pace dips with the family scenes featuring Brahmaji appearing on the screen.
Similarly the scenes featuring Master Mahendran though are connected in the climax however looked extremely disjoint and tests the patience of the viewers. The screenplay and pace dips considerably and the first half finally ends with a predictable interval bang.
Right into the second half, viewers are left to wonder the story is heading but director quickly dives into the main plot. The pre climax and climax generates interest with honey trap and other issues. Finally the film ends on a solid note.
Gyaani added value to the story with his background music. He turned the scenes impactful with his background score.
The Cinematography of Bhaskar Samala is natural and realistic. He showed the scenes in a good way. The editing of Marthand K Venkatesh could have been better. There are many scenes that dragged slowing the pace of the narration. Dialogues are good. Production values are ok.
Altogether, Karmanye Vadhikaraste turns out to be a decent investigative thriller. Director Amardeep Challapalli came up with interesting story and the cast came up with decent performances. However slow pace of narration, few unwanted scenes marred the output. Little fine-tuning of the script, few more twists and racy screenplay would have added more punch. Considering, all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Karmanye Vadhikaraste.
