Beauty

Story: The film follows the romance between Alekhya (Nilakhi), a college student, and Arjun (Ankith), a pet trainer. When Alekhya goes missing from her house, her family frantically looks for her. Her father Narayan (Naresh)’s world turns upside down. What begins as a frantic search becomes a journey exploring trust and a father’s unwavering love.

Review: The first half is filled with engaging suspense but remains fairly predictable. Nilakhi convincingly portrays a teenager Alekhya who is naïve, occasionally bratty, forcing her parents into buying her a motorcycle, and is blinded by love. Ankith’s character Arjun feels like a routine male lead until the climax, where his performance gains unexpected depth.

The family dynamics are strengthened by Naresh and Vasuki as Alekhya’s parents, a loving father and stern but soft-hearted mother. Their interactions lend credibility to Alekhya’s world, and their story of struggles runs parallel in the first half. In the second half, the story shifts focus to Narayan (Naresh) and his protective nature adds emotional weight, showcasing a man willing to go to any length for his child. Supporting characters contribute meaningfully with their strong performances

The film’s pacing is uneven. Several minor scenes feel stretched, while key moments, including the climax, are rushed and felt that they could be more depth. The background score, however, maintains engagement and complements both the romantic and suspenseful beats.

While the romance feels like a familiar Telugu love story, the latter half and Narayan’s journey offer a touch of freshness. The climax is brief yet effective, and Nilakhi delivers a sincere performance, while Ankith truly shines when it matters most. Despite its predictability and pacing flaws, Beauty is a watchable drama that balances youthful romance with parental love.

Watch if you enjoy romance dramas, with a predictable storyline and uneven pacing.
