Routine story Climax
Performance:
Sharwanand has done really well. Sharwa looks good in energetic scenes as well as emotional scenes. His dialogue delivery is good.
Rashmika Mandanna is exceptionally good in this role of Aadhya. She looks beautiful in the film. She has done amazing work in emotional scenes. Khushboo plays the heroine's mother and she is very good. Brahmanandam is hilarious. Vennela Kishore gives us comic relief. The rest of actors are good in their roles.
Technical: The love thread of the film is uninteresting. First half of the film is decent.
However, things get fizzled out in the second half with the love aspect becoming routine. The commercial elements also bring in routineness. The director Kishore Tirumala has done well in emotional scenes, but failed to give a gripping narrative . Screenplay in the second half lacks the sting. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is good. Background music helps the emotions. The cinematography is fine. Editing is not up to the mark. Dialogues are good and the production values are
decent.
Analysis:
Aadavallu Meeku Johaarlu has generated good pre release buzz which resulted in encouraging openings. The interval point, dialogues, music, comedy, the cinematography are the plus points. We need to wait and see how it works at the box office!

Kiran Abbavaram
The basic story point of the film Sebastian PC 524 is very good. Coming on the work of director, the idea of interlinking the murder mystery with the night blindness disorder of a constable is good. All characters in the movie are well-written. But he has added commercial ingredients for the hero’s character. Narration of the story is ok. The cinematography by Raj K Nalli is impressive. Background music by Ghibran is excellent. Dialogues are pretty good and make an impact. Editing by Viplav Nyshadam is not up to the mark.
Analysis: Overall Sebastian PC 524 has
all the ingredients - crime element, romance, sentiment, and entertaining narration, to work big at the box office.
