The Indian Express – “Rao is one of the few actors who is capable of fully inhabiting his role, and even more important, shed all vanity in the proces. Rao does a solid job of being disgruntled and too smart for his own good, telling us that people with deep challenges are, after all, also human.”
Scroll.in – “Tushar Hiranandani’s matter-of-fact approach towards Srikanth (Rajkummar Rao) is refreshing. Hiranandani and writers Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit do no hesitate to show the movie version Srikanth’s unlikeable and arrogant side.”
NDTV Movies – Srikanth is a classic rags-to-riches saga that is enriched enormously by the director's refusal to employ the standard tropes of the genre. Srikanth, as uplifting a film as any, deserves a wide audience. It is more than a mere story. It is a heartwarming celebration of a way of seeing the world in a new light.
Firstpost – Director Hiranandani is a master storyteller and the way he has weaved the narrative of this inspiring journey is simply impeccable. The filmmaker has kept the movie pacy with ample heartwarming moments. Rajkummar Rao has hit the ball out of the park and delivered an award-winning act.
The movie Srikanth also features Jyotika, Alaya F and Sharad Kelkar in key roles. The film is produced by Chalk and Cheese Films and T-Series Films.
