Till date, young hero Nikhil has skinned himself in those kinds of characters which gave him a particular image and the movies stood alone on his shoulders. ‘Karthikeya’ and ‘Swamy Ra Ra’ succeeded at BO both because of the efforts from directors and also major credits to Nikhil for portraying the characters with bundles of authenticity. This time, the same courage in him came out in the form of ‘Surya Vs Surya’ and Nikhil played the one in title role.
Cameraman turned director Karthik Ghattamaneni made the film visually gleeful. At the same time, Nikhil gave his best as hero trapped in conflict of love Vs rare genetic disease he is suffering with. Despite Nikhil giving a decent performance, critics and class audience are heard of rating ‘Surya Vs Surya’ as more of director Karthik’s film. Even this is good, till the time BO calculations work out positively.
