Analysis

Venkatapuram has a good story line. But the director takes time to get into the actual story and so the first half seems a little bit dragged. But the interval bang is good and creates curiosity. The second half is also very engaging and the climax has also been executed well. The suspense factor has been maintained well. The film has it's share of flaws but the debutante director Venu Madikanti impresses with his narration.The performances of the lead pair and the other characters are good. All in all, 'Venkatapuram' is a Decent crime thriller with a good second half.

Verdict

Venkatapuram is a 'Decent crime thriller'
