Review:
Falaknuma Das, is not a scene by scene remake of the Malayalam movie, but the characters are suited to fit in the local milieu, for the Telugu viewers. Vishwak Sen speaks in the Old City accent and language perfectly and is particularly in his element in action sequences, rather than in the emotional scenes. The part of heroines, Saloni Mishra as his love interest are lacking in depth.
Director Tharun Bhasker shines in the unique role of Saidulu as a sidekick in the Das team. His natural accent of Telangana comes to the fore in this movie. Vivek Sagar provides good background score for the movie, mostly in the action sequences.
Overall, the gangster drama lacks punch in the second half, making it a one time watch.
