📰 Critic Reviews
Ori Devuda is an official remake of Tamil film Oh My Kadavule. I have seen the original on OTT. Hence my view is from the perspective of the guy who has seen the original. First half is interesting. Second half doesn’t make much impact. The God aspect and second chance screenplay will get some brownie points. This film…
‘Ori Devuda’ is triangular love and friendship story with shades of 2010 timeframe feel good films. Second half of the film is better than the first one.Vishwak Sen excelled as Arjun – perhaps his career best performance. Overalla decent film to try for youth as well family audience
On the whole, Ori Devuda is a decent rom-com that offers a pleasant drama in the second half. All the lead cast does well, and the songs also help the film big time. Barring the okayish first half, the movie is a watchable rom-com this weekend.
