The film takes its own sweet time giving you details you don’t know you will need later and setting up characters, especially with Agent Athreya’s backstory. You go in expecting a few jokes here and there and maybe a case that’s not as complicated as the one you’re shown, but something that our hero manages to solve and save the day. But as he begins joining the dots, something far more sinister is unearthed.Īgent Sai Srinivasa Athreya is the kind of film that acts like a slow burn. In midst of an un-ideal situation, Agent Athreya happens to chance upon just that – a heart-wrenching case that’s worth his time if only for the grieving father. He believes his reputation precedes him and his brilliant yet humorous mind yearns for complicated cases. In the confines of peeling wall paint and flickering bulbs, Agent Athreya and his assistant Sneha (Sruthi) solve cases that are clearly beneath him, but it’s all he can get. This is exactly why Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya is the kind of film that needs to be seen with a story that needs to be told.Īgent Athreya (Naveen Polishetty) is a detective grieving his dead mother and running a detective agency called FBI (you will want to watch the film to know why it’s named as such) from a vegetable market in Nellore. There will be no feel-good moments to make your chest untighten when the gristly core of the story shows it face nor there any relief at the end to make it seem that everything is right in the world. This is not the kind of film that will pander to a commercial audience, nor is it the kind of film which will allow itself to be diluted with unnecessary tropes. Review: Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya is a brilliantly executed, no nonsense film which makes it clear from get-go about the kind of story it wants to tell. He gets more than what he asked for when a case happens to fall right into his lap out of nowhere. Story: Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya (Naveen Polishetty) is a brilliant, underrated detective from Nellore who runs an agency called FBI which sees no business.
