Finally, the trailer of Ari movie starring Anasuya Bharadwaj is out and it looks like a thrilling ride into the complexities of human desires, emotions and the never ending pursuit of more in life. Directed by Joshua Sethuraman the two minute trailer sets the tone for a film that blends drama with raw and unfiltered inner turmoil and ambition.
Anasuya Bharadwaj is at the center of Ari as the lead and she looks like she has given her most intense performance yet. In the trailer she is a woman who is consumed by her desires—be it love, success or material possessions—captured beautifully through visuals and dialogues that are universal in nature. Her eyes and expressions convey vulnerability and strength in layers, hinting that this role is a departure from what we have seen her in Telugu cinema. Known for her bold choices in Rangasthalam and Keshava Anasuya’s performance in Ari is going to redefine her as a actress who can carry an emotional thriller.
The trailer’s narrative is set against the backdrop of urban loneliness and personal conflict where the protagonist’s inner voice is the tagline of the film “Inka Kavala Nipistundi” (It still feels like I want more). This line voiced over shadowy montages of fleeting relationships and unquenchable desires sums up the film’s theme. Joshua Sethuraman, in his debut direction draws from real life to tell a story that questions the limits of human greed and satisfaction. “This film is not just about wanting more; it’s about why we chase what we can’t hold” he said in recent interviews and wants the audience to introspect.
Visually stunning, the trailer has Premanand Jayaram’s cinematography, which captures the stark contrast between the cityscapes and the intimate and claustrophobic spaces mirroring the protagonist’s emotional state. The background score by an upcoming talent in the industry pumps up the tension with its beats and melancholy and builds up to a climax that leaves you wanting for more.
Under a well known Telugu production house banner, Ari is Anasuya’s another big film, as she is moving towards more character oriented roles. The film has a bunch of new comers who add to the overall performance and showcase different aspects of longing through their connected stories. Though the entire story is not revealed, the trailer hints at a story that combines past mistakes with current challenges and ends up in a intense face off with personal limitations.
The social media has been buzzing since the trailer was released, as fans are appreciating Anasuya for her bold attempt on deeply personal themes. Initial reactions are saying that the trailer makes you feel for the character and is unique among the current Telugu films. As Ari is set to hit the screens later this year, it shows how powerful movies can be in exploring human spirit and that our search for “more” is our biggest strength and weakness.
With emotional insight and beautiful visuals, Ari is more than a film – it’s our hidden desires. Note the date; this film will stay with you even after it ends.
