Performances:

His performance is intense and compelling, seamlessly transitioning between the roles of a heartbroken lover and a college student. His portrayal of emotional depth adds significant weight to the narrative.
Rukshar Dhillon captivates as Anjali, bringing charm and vibrancy to her role. Her chemistry with Kiran Abbavaram stands out as one of the film’s highlights.
Kathy Davison (Nazia Davison), in the role of Maggie, delivers a strong supporting act, making a lasting impression.
John Vijay makes for a formidable antagonist, leaving a solid impact as the villain.
The rest of the cast, including Satya, contribute effectively, ensuring a smooth and engaging cinematic experience.
Technical Aspects:
The producers deserve appreciation for their commendable production values, ensuring that Dilruba looks vibrant and engaging despite its moderate budget.
Director Viswa Karun impresses with his dialogues and storytelling style, reminiscent of Puri Jagannadh. His narration keeps the audience invested, especially in the first half. However, the second half could have used a bit more magic, and a slightly shorter runtime would have made the film racier and more gripping.
Cinematographer Daniel Viswas beautifully captures the youthful energy and visual appeal of the story. Sam CS’s music enhances the film’s mood, though the songs could have had a stronger impact. Praveen KL’s editing is decent but could have been crisper, particularly in the latter half.
Overall, Dilruba benefits from strong technical aspects and a sincere attempt at engaging storytelling, making it a watchable romantic drama.
Verdict:
Dilruba is a perfect film for those with an ex-girlfriend and a current love, resonating deeply with both those in love and those who have faced heartbreak.
This romantic drama boasts a promising premise and an engaging first half filled with energy. However, the slower pacing in the latter portions slightly dampens the impact. If you enjoy lighthearted romances with strong lead chemistry, Dilruba could be a decent watch, especially for the festive weekend.
