Krishna (Siddhu Jonnalagadda)s first love is Satya (Shraddha Srinath) in his Engineering college in Vizag. Satya breaks up with him as he keeps pestering her and moves to Bengaluru for an IT job.
Later, he falls for Radha (Shalini Vadnikatti), who also studies in the same college. Krishna also gets hired by an IT company and is sent to Bengaluru for the training. In Bengaluru, he meets Satya again and the romance is rekindled.
Krishna and His Leela is a youthful story, a story of a young boy who is a confused soul. Soon after the breakup with his first girlfriend, he starts dating another girl.
In a couple of months, he rekindles the relationship with his first girlfriend but at the same time, he doesnt end the relationship with the current girlfriend. Both girls know the presence of other girls in the boys life.
Sounds complicated Yes, the story is about a confused guys complicated romance with two girls at the same time.
Krishna cheats on Radha and Sathya but proudly proclaims that if given a chance (that is the girls allow), he would settle with both of them because his heart beats for two of them in equal proportions.
Stories about a guy torn between two girls and breakups have become very common in todays movies.
Krishna and His Leela doesnt have the novelty factor but director Ravikanth Perepu manages to hold our interest with some contemporary language, situations. The coolness factor also scores in the beginning.
Till the middle portion, the film runs smoothly with his two parallel stories but when the story gets complicated much like in 2017s Mental Madhilo, the film derails. After a while, it looks like the director is extending a short story into a full length feature film unnecessarily.
The openness about boozing, sex, and cheating reflects todays making style. The kisses and F words are also aplenty.
Some sequences are contemporary and relatable to the youth, but it becomes cliched after a while, and also the ending spoils totally. Relationships are not stories to have closure, says the hero after having sex with two girls.
Krishna and His Leela has many issues but it makes an okay watch on the OTT platform. It is a wise decision to release it on a streaming app than in theaters.
