The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

"A film which has all ingredients for a thriller movie making it a must watch film for everyone"My rating- 5/5 (one of the best edge of the seat thriller)Positives-1.)Direction,script and story- Outstanding direction. Movie becomes a variety thriller only because of Ravikanths direction. He fuses flashback in present scenes at right places making it a non linear film. I don't know if its a directors idea or scriptwriters idea but the mixing was one of the main thing i found it as amazing in this thriller film which made us excited at certain scenes. Story was an ordinary one and it comes to the point nearing to end. In start and middle the movie was slightly lagging with clichéd scenes but that doesn't matter much because of direction and script. Script was superb and as i said before fusing of flashback in present was excellent idea in narration. I have seen the fusing in many films but in this one it had uniqueness maybe because of the outstanding direction. It had many dialogues which were apt to the story and it also helped in thrilling scenes.2.) Adivi,adah and anusuya- Adivi as main character nailed it with his noticing acting skills. His acting was apt and no faults in it. Next is adah the female main character was also superb. All emotions as a mother and girlfriend was rightly portrayed. Anusuya was good and rest of the cast was also good.3.) Bgscore- Bgscore was excellent and suited well especially in thrilling scenes and emotional scenes. It was also variety one and it succeeded in giving us feel to the movie. 4.)Cinematography5.)Suspense and twistsNegatives- (nothing)Is it a must watch movie? YesOverall- This movie deserves 5/5 because it has all the ingredients for it. Its surely a must watch movie. I am sad that only Telugu audience will be watching it but I recommend that it requires a remake so that many people will notice it. I hope it gets remaked. In short I loved it. Keep it up to the entire team and hope I can see meaningful movies like this in Telugu industry

Kshanam is a thriller based on the kidnapping of a child. Who kidnapped the child? Is the child even real? These are some of the questions that Kshanam tries to resolve. With a crisp editing and a just-sufficient run-time Kshanam makes this search an edge of the seat thriller ride. The pre-interval scene is a shocker and takes you completely by surprise. There are a couple of minor loopholes in the story, but despite that the overall gripping narrative will make you ignore them. Kshanam is extremely well-made and am sure we will see remakes in other languages soon. An extremely positive start of the year to Telugu film industry that is stuck in the larger than life hero worship and slowly evolving and accepting new and non-routine stories. Kshanam breaks stereotypes and gives us a world-class movie. If you liked Kahaani then you will surely enjoy Kshanam. Films like this is the reason why I love movies. Kudos to the entire team of Kshanam, a truly fantastic job.

Very rarely does a movie hook you from the first scene and this is one such gem. And it makes even more fun that i watched this by fluke looking at the interesting title, even though it had unknown cast and a so-called low-budget. But as we have seen often, the finest movies have come from little known small budget movies. Also rare is the genre of true suspense without distraction of garish masala and Kshanam fits this bill of a real suspense thriller. No meaningless songs or comedy track etc to play to the gallery. Again, another rare for a telugu movie.Guy living in US gets called by his ex-Girlfriend for urgent help. Landing in India, he finds himself in middle of inexplicable happenings while trying to help solve her problem. Saying another more will spoil the fun of watching. So, check it out.The Script and screenplay are the super strengths of the movie. Hardly any dull moment, clever use of flashbacks and revealing just enough at the right time, keeping one step ahead of the viewer in the guessing game of what is really going on. And acting from the new faces is excellent, matching the script. Also, the background score is wisely subdued. Overall, a must watch movie. Enjoy!
