Plus Points:
- Different Concept
- Parts in Second Half
- Kalyan Ram’s triple role
Minus Points:
- First Half
- Love Track /Comedy
- Predictability
- Lack of thrilling elements
Analysis:
Unlike most movies in which the look-alike heroes are related to each other, Amigos is a different concept movie that was hardly tried in Telugu. The core story revolves around three doppelgangers who are nowhere related to each other.
Director has presented the concept in an interesting way, however, the love track tests your patience and the lack of entertainment is another major disadvantage.
Verdict:
To sum it up, Amigos is a different and out-of-the-box plot, however, the narrative fails to bring excitement and thrill. The movie goes flatty in many places and picks up during the second half. If you are someone who likes to watch different concept movies with low expectations, this is a decent watch.
