Custody Review: Naga Chaitanya’s Thank You was a debacle at the box office. Now his much-awaited film Custody, helmed by Venkat Prabhu, hit the screens on May 12. The Telugu-Tamil bilingual is based on the story of the protagonist (Naga Chaitanya) who has to protect the antagonist (Aravind Swami) from his opponents. He has to guard the criminal till he is produced before the court.
Social media users have given their first reviews of Custody that also stars Krithi Shetty. A Twitter user, Maddy Reviews wrote, “#Custody A well writted and executed racy thriller which has spellbound performaces by lead cast. @chay_akkineni excelled in his role with superb ease and so as @thearvindswami .Film looks lag at initial portions but picks up in 30 min.But overall its 2.75/5.”
Action scenes are impressive
Going by the first reviews, Naga Chaitanya, who plays a character of an underdog has managed to live up to the audiences’ expectations. Besides Naga Chaitanya’s performance, users loved the action scenes and BGM in the second half. “First 30 minutes are dedicated to character introductions and the love track. Film picks up from Aravind Swamy’s intro,” writes a movie buff.
Venky Reviews tweeted, “#Custody Overall a Below Par Action Thriller! Interesting plot point with a few well designed scenes that work but the rest is tiresome. Film is dragged in many places with repetitive actions scenes and narrated in a flat way. BGM is ok but songs are awful.”
Impressive cast of Custody
Custody also stars Priyamani, Sharat Kumar, Sampath Raj, Premgi Amaren, Vennela Kishore, Premi Vishwanath and many others in supporting roles.
As the film releases today, Chay’s father and actor Nagarjuna Akkineni penned a heartfelt note for him. “Dearest @chay_akkineni as you dream and follow your path I wish with all my heart that your dream comes true!! All the best to the team!! Godbless!!,” tweeted Nagarjuna.
