Irumudi Movie Review: 7 tweets you must read before watching Ravi Teja, Priya Bhavani Shankar's Telugu action movie

Irumudi Review: Telugu action drama Irumudi, starring Ravi Teja in the lead role, finally hit theatres today (August 21). The film opened to positive responses, with fans turning up for the first-day-first-show screenings. Soon after the shows began, viewers started sharing their reactions on social media. The early Twitter, now X, reviews suggest that the film has worked for many audiences. The movie stars Ravi Teja and Priya Bhavani Shankar in the lead roles. While the film combines action and emotion, its social message and the relationship between a father and his daughter have also caught the attention of early viewers.

Ravi Teja gets a thumbs-up from fans

Several viewers have praised Ravi Teja's performance, with some calling Irumudi a strong comeback for the actor. One viewer simply celebrated his return, while another described the film as a redemption for the star. The user praised Ravi Teja's acting in the interval sequence and second half, giving the film a rating of 4.5 out of 5 and calling it a movie that deserves to be watched in theatres.




Another X user was even more impressed with the actor's performance, saying Ravi Teja has delivered one of the finest performances of his career. The reaction particularly praised the intensity and emotion he brings to his character.



Social message and father-daughter emotions stand out

The film's social theme has also found appreciation among viewers. One early review highlighted the way Irumudi addresses issues faced by girls, calling its message one of the film's major positives. The same viewer felt that the story may appear familiar in parts but becomes more engaging as it progresses.





The father-daughter relationship is another element that viewers have connected with. Early reactions suggest that the emotional portions involving Ravi Teja and the child actor add weight to the story. Baby Nakshathra has also received praise, with viewers impressed by her performance.

Second half gets better response

The response to the two halves of the movie has not been completely uniform. Several viewers described the first half as slow and steady, with limited highs and lows. One viewer, after watching the first half, said Ravi Teja's character arc worked well but hoped the second half would deliver a bigger high.



That expectation appears to have been met for several others. Social media reactions describe the second half as emotionally charged and tense, with solid twists. The interval sequence has also been singled out for praise, while the climax has been described as powerful.

The action portions have also worked for early audiences. Viewers have praised the way the action episodes have been executed, particularly during the more intense portions of the second half.



GV Prakash Kumar's music is another recurring positive in the initial reactions. His background score and songs have been credited with adding to the film's emotional and action-heavy moments. One viewer specifically mentioned the song "Mallepoola Pallaki" and the background score as highlights.

Despite the largely positive response, some viewers have pointed out shortcomings. The first half has been criticised for moving slowly in places, while a few reactions mentioned logical issues in the screenplay. Some viewers also felt that the background score did not work equally well in every scene.

Still, the overall social media response remains encouraging. Viewers have largely appreciated Ravi Teja's performance, the father-daughter emotions, the social message, action sequences and the twists in the latter half.

With Irumudi now playing in theatres, the first-day reactions suggest that Shiva Nirvana's emotional action drama has managed to strike a chord with a section of the audience. Stay tuned to witness how it performs over the weekend at the box office.
