Plot

The film's story takes place in the backdrop of News television channels. The protagonist. Arjun Suravaram (Nikhil Siddharth), is a third generation journalist who takes to the profession despite opposition from his idealistic but now skeptical father (Nagineedu), who feels that the fourth estate has lost its moral compass in the present times and hence his son should stay away from journalism. Arjun nurses a deep desire and dream: to become an investigative journalist with an international TV Channel of repute. However, as feared by his father, the young reporter gets himself trapped in a fake educational loan and certificate scam which he now has to unearth in order to prove his innocence, as well as to help the society at large, to cleanse the system of such evils. Kavya (Lavanya Tripathi) is Arjun’s love interest, an aspiring journalist, and the daughter of the owner (Kedar Shankara) of a TV channel that Arjun works for. Together as they try to unravel the mystery of the scam, they discover that there is a far more sinister network beneath the surface and their life is under grave threat from the evil forces. Will they survive to bring the truth to the fore?

Reception

Deccan Chronicle gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "Arjun Suravaram deserves to be watched. The director should be appreciated taking up a topical issue, that of fake certificates.,.Nikhil Siddharth as the investigative reporter puts in a sincere performance and he is convincing. Vennela Kishore justifies his meaty role as a lawyer. Lavanya Tripathi plays the love interest of Nikhil and she does well. Satya and Vidyu provide a few laughs. Posani as a constable, Nagineedu as Nikhil’s father and Tarun Arora as villain support the lead cast. Raja Ravindra plays a bad cop.Cinematography by Surya is good and the action scenes are choreographed nicely".[8] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote "The film is engrossing when it focuses on its main plot. Nikhil has the knack of choosing interesting stories and effectively portrays the part of a purpose-driven reporter who is vulnerable when the tables turn against him. Lavanya as the aspiring journalist has a role that’s comparatively limited in scope but she does it efficiently and Sahi Suresh’s art direction and Suryaa’s cinematography deserve a mention..".[9] 123telugu.com gave 3.25 stars stating "Arjun Suravaram is an engaging crime thriller with a novel concept. The thrills showcased, breezy narration and Nikhil’s performance are basic assets. Nikhil’s long wait will surely pay dividends for him".[10] Industryhit.com gave 3.25 stars stating "The message along with the thrills with uncompromising production values makes Arjun Suravaram a must-watch big-screen flick".[11] Indiaglitz.com gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "The premise and storyline are exciting.Good performances and some nice technical output help.[12] The Hans India gave 3 out of 5 stars stating "BGM and Nikhil are the highlights of the film, 'Arjun Suravaram' is a one-time watch film".[13]

gollark: 5 days here.
gollark: Because we do, in fact, need to produce things.
gollark: We could stop COVID-19 from spreading if we forcibly confined everyone to their homes or something. But this would be a terrible idea.
gollark: Though saying "we'll just magically fix everything for Easter" isn't... really good in either way.
gollark: You have to make tradeoffs between saving lives now and keeping the economy from imploding, and can't just go "we'll save one extra life even if it costs a trillion $".
