Yevam, directed by Prakash Dantuluri, weaves a gripping crime thriller that keeps viewers guessing. Set against the backdrop of Vikarabad, this Telugu film introduces us to PSI Soumya (Chandini Chowdary), a determined police officer with a mission.
Soumya faces resistance as she steps into the male-dominated Vikarabad police station. Bharat Raj, a CI, tries to relegate her to the files section, but Soumya’s resolve prevails. As she earns respect and forms unexpected alliances, a chilling antagonist emerges—a serial killer who preys on unsuspecting girls. Vashishta portrays this villain with eerie intensity, luring victims under the guise of a dinner invitation. Amidst the tension, Ashu Reddy’s character confronts the killer fearlessly.
Performances:
- Chandini Chowdary: Her portrayal of Soumya is commendable, capturing both vulnerability and strength.
