LIE

– Love Intelligence Enmity’ starring Nithiin, in the direction of Hanu Raghavapudi, released today amid huge anticipation.

The movie starts with a cat and mouse game playing out between the Central Intelligence team and a drug kingpin based in Las Vegas. A mission called ‘Sholay’ is launched by the agency, headed by Bharadwaj (Ravi Kishan), to nab him.
Chaitra (Megha Akash) is introduced as a chirpy girl, who grows up dreaming to become a billionaire and regularly pens down her ambitions in a diary. A marriage proposal comes her way and she agrees to the match only because that will be her ticket to LA. Here’s when we get to see the film’s first song, ‘It’s my Laggam Da’, which might bring a smile on your face.





Then A Sathyam (Nithiin) enters the scene. A petty thief from Old City of Hyderabad, he gets involved in the mission when he attempts to steal an important suitcase that’s crucial in tracking down the kingpin.

It so happens that Sathyam and Chaitra end up heading to Vegas. Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Padmanabham (Arjun Sarja), a renowned magician, who practices the rare rope walk trick and is slated to retire from the industry after one final performance.

Until the first half, we get to see two songs and an array of chases and runs amid a simultaneous comedy track rendered by Pruthvi Raj, Barhmaji and Sudarshan, and we are hooked.

Hang in there, we'll be back with the full review.
