Now, he has come up with 28 Degree Celsius starring a good actor like Naveen Chandra in the leading role. Shalini Vadnikati has playing the leading lady role in this thriller. The concept and title itself give a very unique look to the film. The movie released on 4th April, all over. Let's discuss about the film, in detail.

Suddenly, one day, Anjali dies due to extreme cold weather. What is the reason? Who killed her? Who is Geetha? Is Karthik the reason? Watch the movie to know more.
Analysis:
Dr. Anil Vishwanath made an engaging and thrilling Polimera films. His story-telling and intriguing premises gave us some good characters along with twists and turns. But here, he took a very old story and tried to tell it with medical conditions which seem new and different. The medical condition gets sub-plot level treatment in the screenplay and it looks like a plot device just brought in to give some sort of new tool rather than having any big importance in entire story.
In a film like Bhale Bhale Mogadivoy, Nani has a problem with memory and it drives the plot throughout without any deviation. When 28 Degrees Celsius is the most interesting part of the subject and if the story doesn't move with it rather uses as a tool to tell a routine story. Neither characters nor situations look interesting enough to engage us. The 28 Degree Celsius adjustment is shown simple and easy to attain while adjusting temperature around you is difficult.
Georgia kind of a country is not close to equator while the director established that the person should be always taken to a place where temperature doesn't fluctuate too much. The kind of care needs to be taken and how the people around adjust doesn't really come across well. Naveen Chandra did well but rest of all did not get any good character arc to even talk. Hence, the movie just feels like a very lazy and amatuerish attempt without proper detailing and story-telling prowess.
In Conclusion:
The movie just feels like a medical journal than an engaging screenplay.
Rating: 1.5/5
