Ravikanth Perepu's Kshanam starts with Swetha (Adah Sharma) getting attacked in her car. Then comes in Rishi (Adivi Sesh) who is Swetha's ex, he is called by her to help find her daughter. Soon after beginning his search he learns from Swetha's husband and other sources that the kid doesn't exist. However, Swetha is unable to take that Rishi doesn't believe her either and commits suicide. Rest of the movie is about whether they had a daughter and if so where she is.
The movie is quite thrilling and it keeps you guessing about whether the daughter exists or not. At one point I was convinced this was some sort of psychological thriller or even horror film. However the movie remains a suspenseful thriller that involves a variety of themes. It finally comes down to Swetha's husband learning the child was not his and wanting to rid of her when the ACP, who has no children, saves her and keeps her as her own child.
At the beginning I laughed at the fact that Swetha calls on her ex to help find her child, it was quite a weird way to go about things. But then when it's revealed this was done because it was Rishi's child answered that question.
Babu Khan (Vennela Kishore) had a nice arc which is not uncommon in thrillers. He plays the guy who does anything for money but after seeing this cause a death he aids the main character which ends in his death. Yet Vennela Kishore's acting convinces and brings about strong sympathy. A similar underrated acting gem is Satyam Rajesh, he kills it as Ravi Chowdary. Adivi Sesh was also quite good and Adah Sharma did good as well. Anasuya was decent as the ACP, she gets the point across but her acting felt over the top.
Overall, a truly suspenseful thriller which should not be missed if you enjoy Adivi Sesh's writing.
