Siddharth Roy

Siddharth Roy is a 2024 Telugu romantic drama written and directed by V. Yeshasvi, starring Deepak Saroj in the title role and Tanvi Negi. It is about a young man who has trained himself to live by logic alone, and what happens when he falls in love. The film was released in theatres on 23 February 2024 and drew lukewarm reviews.

What the story is about

Siddharth Roy approaches life with strict, emotionless logic: as he sees it, people are driven by basic needs such as food, sleep and sex, and everything else is noise. That view is tested when he meets Indumathi, who believes in feelings and in values that run against everything he thinks. As Siddharth falls for her, he has to face emotions he has spent his life dismissing. Then Indu suddenly leaves his life, and Siddharth is left to wonder whether she will come back, or whether he has to change for her. The film follows that inner conflict and leaves its answers to the end.

Reviews

Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India gave it two out of five, but said that “despite its shortcomings”, it offers “a dynamic and bold narrative” that may appeal to young viewers looking for a contemporary love story. Bhavana Sarvepalli of Times Now gave the same rating under the headline “This drama is not everyone’s cup of tea”, praising Deepak Saroj’s performance, the cinematography and the score while criticising the narration and the casting. We have not found box-office figures from a named outlet.
