18 Pages Movie Review - Unsatisfactory and Disappointment
The running time of the movie is 137 minutes and it tests our patience already. director Sukumar's influence is apparent. A humorous scenario followed Nikhil's cool introduction, which was done before. After a slight twist, Simbhu's vocals deliver the first tune. The impact of sukumar is then once more felt at the introduction of the female lead. The emphasis is then drawn to a humorous situation involving Nikhil, raghu Babu, and Sarayu.
The second song, Edurangula Vaana, follows. The magic that sid sriram is performing has some really stunning visuals. As Anupama is in terrible peril, the movie becomes exciting, and just as we lift our heads, we are forced to sit with another song, Nee Valla O Pilla. sarayu and Nikhil are having hilarious exchanges. The comic segments are written extremely well. The only beneficial aspect of Nikhil's on-screen presence in the first half of the film is how slowly it moves.
The effect of 18 Pages is lessened by the slow pacing and lack of really magical moments, despite the interesting subject and outstanding leads. It will be crucial to keep an eye on how the second half plays out and give the situation the much-needed push. Following the intermission, there are a few tense minutes during which Nikhil makes every effort to learn more about Anupama. The activities are exciting. Nikhil finds a crucial hint while searching for Anupama. When ajay enters, the movie accelerates. Nikhil's dialogues are brief and impressive.
Although 18 Pages has a unique plot for the present, it falls short of fulfilling the promise made by the premise. It adopts a dark tone and combines it with mundane scenes to provide an uncomfortable viewing experience. Parts of it work.
