Sashi is a 2021 Telugu romantic drama film directed by Srinivas Naidu Nadikatla and starring Aadi, Surbhi, and Raashi Singh in the lead roles. The movie is produced by R.P. Varma under the banner of Sri Hanuman Movie Makers. The movie revolves around a young man named Sashi (Aadi) who works as a software engineer in Bengaluru. He's a shy, introverted, and reserved person who leads a mundane life. He has limited friends and has never been in a serious relationship. Sashi's father is a respected cop and his mother is a devoted house-maker. Sashi had always been his parent's pride, but he craves for much more out of his life.
One day, Sashi comes across a bubbly and lively girl named Vaishnavi (Surbhi), who works as a designer. His life takes a turn as he falls in love with Vaishnavi, who reciprocates his feelings. Vaishnavi's positivity lights up Sashi's life, and he starts to open up and enjoy his life.
Sashi then decides to propose to Vaishnavi, but she is already engaged to a successful businessman, Ashok (Ajay). Sashi couldn't accept it, but he couldn't express his emotions to Vaishnavi as well. In the meantime, Sashi's sister goes missing, and he needs to put his own issues aside to help his family.
The story runs parallelly between Sashi's love life and the mystery about his sister's disappearance. How Sashi copes up with his vulnerable sister and the pain of losing her adds twists to the movie.
The technical aspects of the movie are commendable. The cinematography by Amarnath Bommireddy is noteworthy, and the music by Arun Chiluveru adds emotions to the love story. The chemistry between Aadi and Surbhi is palpable and worth watching.
Aadi delivers quite a restrained and serene performance as Sashi, portraying the character of an introverted and calm individual. Surbhi showcases her versatility by portraying a chirpy and lively character, and Ajay as a wealthy businessman delivers an astoundingly impressive performance. The supporting cast adds value to the movie.
The film captures the work-life balance and the city's hectic lifestyle in its narrative, which adds authenticity to the movie. The movie's climax is bittersweet and leaves a long-lasting impression on the audience.
Sashi is a decent romantic drama that gives out the message of being true to oneself. The movie is a coming-of-age story of a shy and introverted boy, who finds love in the most unexpected place. It is a feel-good movie that will leave you with warmth and fuzziness in your heart.
