Description: Jagamemaya 2022 is a crime thriller available in Hindi and Telugu in 1080p and 720p resolutions. The film’s storyline revolves around Anand (Teja Ainampudi), a con artist from Vijayawada, who relocates to Hyderabad with stolen money. He deceives Chitra (Dhanya Balakrishna), a widow, into marrying him. The story explores how Anand’s life transforms after marriage and whether there is an unexpected twist in the plot.
Recent thrillers, especially those on OTT platforms, have raised audience expectations, but Jagamemaya falls short as it progresses despite its promising start. Dhanya Balakrishna delivers a dynamic performance as Chitra, showcasing her versatility as she transitions from a grieving widow to a composed woman. Teja Ainampudi shines in the first half with his humorous portrayal of a con artist, while Chaitanya Rao and Babloo Prithiveeraj play significant roles. However, Prithiveeraj’s character could have been better executed.
The film peaks during the post-marriage events but fails to maintain its momentum, becoming predictable and less engaging. Technically, the movie is decent, and the cast’s performances make it watchable. Overall, Jagamemaya is a missed opportunity in the crime thriller genre.
