After delivering his career’s biggest hit with Bimbisara a few months ago, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram has come out with a different thriller Amigos in which he played triple roles for the first time.

Interestingly, he finds two more look-alikes, Manjunath from Bangalore and Michael from Kolkata.
The three doppelgangers finally meet and have blast. Everything seems happy and funny initially but things turn worse eventually when one among them is revealed to be a dangerous person. This puts the lives of the other two in danger. What’s the actual problem and how the other two come out of it is the rest of the story.
Plus Points:
Out of The Box Concept
Second Half
Kalyan Ram
Minus Points:
First Half
Love Track /Comedy
Predictability
Lack of thrilling elements
Analysis:
Unlike most movies in which the look-alike heroes are related to each other, Amigos is a different concept movie that was hardly tried in Telugu. The core story revolves around three doppelgangers who are nowhere related to each other.
Director has presented the concept in an interesting way, however, the love track tests your patience and the lack of entertainment is another major disadvantage.
Verdict:
On the whole, Amigos is a different and out-of-the-box plot, however, the narrative fails to bring excitement and thrill. The movie goes flatty in many places and picks up during the second half. If you are someone who likes to watch different concept movies with low expectations, this is a decent watch.
Rating:2.5/5
