Rajkummar Rao is one of the rare actors in Hindi cinema whose work one looks forward to following. Today, his film ‘Srikanth‘ directed by Tushar Hiranandani, hit the cinema halls, and naturally, people are pleasantly mesmerized by Rao’s acting skills.
The film is a biopic revolving around Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist who is the founder and chairman of Bollant Industries. Having been profoundly inspired by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, he wanted to become our country’s first blind President.
Where many who’ve watched the film have great things to say about it, there are other perspectives as well. Here’s how people have been reacting so far –

#Srikanth was excellent. The opening segment and some powerful moments will remain in my mind for a long time. Never underestimate a person by his limitations

It is an inspiring & motivational film. #RajkummarRao has delivered an award winning performance in this biopic, he is simply terrific throughout. #SharadKelkar excels as always, #Jyothika superb. #SrikanthReview pic.twitter.com/8U1sty87Qc
#RajkummarRao is exceptional in #Srikanth : a sensitive performance in a film that only suffers due to its highlight like structure

A simplistic attempt to depict an inspiring journey. Rajkummar Rao's performance was terrific, while Jyothika and Sharad Kelkar were also effective, though their characters could have been explored much better. There are some strong moments and an impactful climax that… pic.twitter.com/Pbffw4b0nx
#Srikanth is a brilliant film that talks so much about how important self-respect is. #RajkummarRao as Srikant nails it completely giving an incredible performance.
