Telugu Film Itlu Arjuna Released, Receives Mixed Reviews on Plot and Performances
Telugu director Mahesh Uppala's debut film, Itlu Arjuna, released on November 13, features Aniesh Reddy as a speech-impaired pickpocket and Anaswara Rajan as his childhood friend. The romantic-action thriller involves a missing pen drive linked to a large fortune, drawing the couple into danger. While the film's performances and unique premise received praise, some critics found the plot and execution conventional. The production involved extensive workshops and technical refinement to portray the lead character authentically.
