Telugu Film Itllu Arjuna Released with Mixed Reviews on Story and PerformancesPreviousNext

The Telugu film Itllu Arjuna, directed by Mahesh Uppala and released on November 13, features Aniesh Reddy as a speech-impaired pickpocket and Anaswara Rajan as his love interest. The film blends romance, action, and thriller elements, centering on a missing pen drive linked to a large fortune. Reviews praise the lead performances and unique premise but offer mixed views on the screenplay, pacing, and conventional romantic tropes. The film is noted for its technical polish and visual style, though some critics find the narrative predictable.
