This becomes a problem to her, and her father who opines it as a medical disorder takes her to a Hospital for treatment. She falls in love with young doctor Naveen (Naveen Chandra) and the duo get married. Tripura yet again gets to see some visions of stabbing Naveen and she gets terrified of them. What happens to Naveen and Tripura? How does the story turn is the rest.

Artists Performances

Colors Swathi looked perfect as village belle and she pulled off the horror element role in the second half with ease and expressively. She is trying out distinct genres and Tripura is very different from the bubby roles she usually does.

Naveen Chandra is justifying in his role and he has done a great job in the climax. His role brings in the lot of depth to the story.

Rao Ramesh is decent in his role, while Sapthagiri manages to evoke laughs.

Shakalaka Shankar and Jayaprakash Reddy are hilarious in their roles and Pooja Ramachandran is significant in brief role.

Technician’s Role

Cinematography is classy, while the music is quite mediocre and the background score is decent.

Editing is bad and a song could be easily edited out in second half, besides some scenes. Considering the suspense thriller genre, the makers could have made the film crisper.

Dialogues are neat and Raaja Kiran’s direction is pretty decent while the screenplay is bad and the narration is outdated. Production values are good.

Analysis

Horror comedies are the current trend in Tollywood, and Tripura is made to clash on such craze. But sadly, the film is a lackluster attempt despite the strong plotline and characterizations.

The film has some gripping and intriguing scenes, but the director has concentrated much on the comedy elements rather than the appealing screenplay. The film is too lengthy and editing is pretty bad with inconsistency.

The lead cast both Colors Swathi and Naveen Chandra have done a convincing job, while the comedy spoof of Shakalaka Shankar and Sapthagiri acts were good. The suspense element was maintained throughout raising the curiosity factor, but it wasn’t totally enough for Tripura to become engaging or enthralling.

Routine and outdated narration, unexciting screenplay and lengthy runtime played spoilsport for Tripura. The film makes a decent watch for suspense thriller lovers, but it is definitely not thrilling enough to enthrall you.

Finally

Tripura - Not Thrilling Enough

RATING: 2.75/5
