EPC Hit, What Is The Use For Nikhil?

Young hero Nikhil carved a special niche of own with selection of creatively new age scripts. Understanding the limitations within himself and analyzing the current tastes of Telugu audience made him to stand on a special pedestal different from rest of the young lot. However, Nikhil appears to have made big sacrifice of resting his new budding hero image for the sake of story and script.

Yes, we are discussing about ‘Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada’ released in the last week opening to thumbs up response from all corners. Apparently, reviews and word of mouth talk is more tilted towards depositing major success credits into heroine Nandita Swetha account rather than Nikhil.

While first half is of course boring to an extent with a weak Hebbah Patel, Nikhil romantic track, Nandita Swetha’s entry during pre interval and commanding second half with her terrific performance made Nikhil’s presence unimportant. ‘Any hero other than Nikhil could have bought same result for EPC,’ a critic commented.

While ‘Swamy Rara, Karthikeya, Surya Vs Surya’ were one or the other way intelligently weaved hero based scripts, ‘Ekkadiki’ sensed like a more heroine oriented because Hebbah, Nandita and Avika Gor played pivotal while Nikhil just hanged out in middle showing his mere presence. EPC stands as one more clever selection from Nikhil but may not do any significant add-on to his hero image.
