Review

The screen presence of Naresh Agasthya was attractive and kept the audience spell-bound. Thanks to his mesmerizing performance, he effortlessly commanded the spotlight. On the other hand, Kaushik Ghantasala is good as the confused US returnee.

With effects subtle and powerful, he showed a broad spectrum of emotions in bringing this character to life and made as all feel like that character. Of the three leads, what shined through the most was definitely Mourya Siddavaram- he was memorable.

his facial expression was sooo incredibly perfect and just omfg I’m so his expressions were so striking he was expressing things so convincingly and using body language very well to really give his character some authenticity.

Riya Suman had no screen presence but looked hot to add more charm to the film. Though short, she still got her audience in the mood.

Priyanka Sharma who is being appreciated for playing the role of Neha in the show Bade Acche Lagte Hain is satisfied with the way her character has shaped.

For their part Brahmaji and Viva Harsha did what was required with great panache and managed to give a strong image to the viewers. They really helped make the film what it was, giving it weight and realism.

This is the story of Men Too, as narrated by the gifted Srikanth Reddy, who sought to show the unexplored side of the Me Too movement. It talked about the plight of men when faced with false accusations from a few women.

It aimed to encourage empathy and unravel the subtleties and inequalities men encounter when in these situations.

In addressing this sensitive subject, Men Too fostered a deep conversation around power structures, equality, and the necessity of both fairness and balance in discussions pertaining to the Me Too movement.

Srikanth Reddy makes an effort to raise awareness about what men in these situations could be going through, and the result is commendable.
