“Satyabhama” Tries Hard But Falters Due To Incoherent Crime Drama Narrative

The storyline/plotline/synopsis/summary

Satyabhama offers a glimpse into the life of ACP K. Satyabhama, a determined and honest police officer posted in Hyderabad. Tackling a haunting case that resonates with her on a personal level, Satya becomes entwined in the investigation of a mysterious crime. Uncovering hidden connections and secrets, she is pushed to her limits as she confronts challenges that test her resolve. So, ACP Satya works very hard to bring justice to victims of heinous crimes. This Telugu movie is a thrilling suspenseful crime drama about catching dangerous criminals.

SHE Teams is a real-life initiative by the Telangana Government

It is worth noting that in real life, the “SHE Teams” initiative was launched by the Telangana Police in Hyderabad. The main aim of the SHE Teams is to provide safety and Security to women who are at home and working outside.

SHE teams is a first of its kind initiative in the country launched by the Telangana government on 24th October 2014 with the vision of providing a safe and secure environment for women. This female police teams are engaged in round the clock surveillance of the city by mapping out “hotspots” and “hot timings” where offenders pounce on unsuspecting victims. Therefore, this specialized teams are a boon to the women in the State who can get timely police help and go about their work without fear. {Info. Source: Telangana Government)

Given, this fact about the “SHE Team”, perhaps its writers could have tapped into real-life police cases.

This crime drama has a layered plotline, but

But, it was not to be. While watching this movie, one might feel that it is similar to peeling off an onion. There are quite a few intricate and layered plotlines in this suspenseful crime drama. Interestingly, this movie does manage to surprise us with many twists and turns in its storyline. In a 2 hour and 11 minutes long movie, ACP Satya tackles all kinds of crimes related to women folks in India. For example, some criminals make indecent videos of females and then they start blackmailing them to extort money from them. Then there are cases involving the creation of fake profiles, trafficking of women, domestic violence, murders, missing persons, communal issues, etc.

But then, sometimes the explanation and rationale behind the criminal acts do not always make sense. Still, its writing team deserve praise for trying something new. However, we wish that these writers could have tightened their script further to make this movie a much better viewing experience for us. In addition, that water-tight script would have helped its director to make a much better female cop drama.

The conclusion

As Kajal worked hard to carry this action film on her shoulder, we liked her (filmi) character. No doubt, with a lot of panache and swagger, Kajal Aggarwal plays the brave lady police official heroine. But she was let down by the disjoint and incoherent storyline. And sometimes, the narrative of this female cop drama seemed puzzling and perplexing. Still, this movie is watchable only because of the presence of Kajal Aggarwal.
