Aakashavaani.PR Handout

The movie has P Samuthirakani as Chandram Master, Vinay Varma as Dhora, Teja Kakumanu as Sambandu and Prashant as Gidda. It has Kaala Bhairava's music and Suresh Raghutu's cinematography.

Story:

In a remote forest, there lives a tribal community completely disconnected from the world around them. They are controlled by feudal lord Dora who uses them for his personal gains. The story gets a twist when the tribals find a radio and schoolmaster comes to the place. What follows next is the interesting part of the story.

Review:

The story and the premises of Aakashavaani are good. The eye-pleasing visuals and soothing music add value to the film. Watch out for the scenes between the master and the high priest. It is backed with good performances from the artistes. The way Hindu mythological demon Hiranyakashupu angle is brought to the storyline is appreciable. However, the film has logical loopholes.

Check out the audience's reaction to the film:

#aakashavaani producers took smart decision by releasing the movie in OTT. Theatre lo super flop ayedi.. not at all engaging and irritating to core. It's just bad. Was expecting to be a very good movie. Huge disappointment

Rahul Yarlagadda: Excellent story telling, just felt like I am reading Chandamama Kathalu #aakashavani Kudos to @AshwinGangaraju
