A tale of a Real Estate broker.
harimood5 April 2024
As a movie buff, I enjoyed watching the film from titles to credits. The dedication poured into creating an independent cinema in Anantapur is truly heartwarming. Delving into the technical aspects, the cinematography, sound design, and lighting are good, elevating the viewing experience for me. The music seamlessly complemented to the flow of the movie. Editing is good, there's room for improvement to further refine the pacing and flow of the story. Despite being first-time actors, their performances surpassed my expectations. The depiction of the Anantapur nativity slang was authentic, capturing the essence of the region.

Finally, a big thumbs up to Vasu Pannuri, the mastermind behind the movie, can see his skill in every part of the movie, making it really impressive.

Must watch!!!
harshazelig23 March 2024
When i watched the film for first time it left me numb(in a positive way), i couldn't able conclude whether the film is good or bad, after many days i tried again still i am confused. The director of the film made things complicated to the viewer in a very gentle manner, thats very brilliant idea. But i liked the film because of its craft, performances are so good. Must mention the actors who played seena and kondi characters. I liked Kondi character very much. I haven't seen this kind of composition and framing in telugu cinema in recent times.. cinematographer did a good job. Music is soooo weird (of course, in a positive way). Such a fresh wave to the indie films in telugu cinema.. looking forward to see the more from the makers of "Faction leni Seema Katha".

Fresh taking
dragonballsz-573005 April 2024
Very well taken, appreciate the acting of everyone in the film. From the start of the starting with trailers, the film looked fresh and new. I thought it won't seem like a new one at first, but going on I didn't recognize the time while watching the movie. Especially there is one song which is the beatbox song I really like it and the best part of the film is every actor in all the movie showed a great composer towards acting in the way they acted in the movie seem kind of real which made the audience connect well. I really wish this to be in OTT so that, everyone will be able to watch the movie and thanks to the people those who need the movie.

Exploring FLSK: A Raw Gem from Anantapur
japesfilms3 April 2024
As an independent filmmaker and a fan, I'm thrilled to watch FLSK on the big screen, directed by Vasu Pannuri. Having known the filmmaker and heard the story pitch five years before its release, witnessing the team's struggles culminate in the final product was nothing short of exhilarating.

Comparisons have been drawn between this film and others, but to me, 'FLSK' stands as an authentic work deeply rooted in the soil of Anantapur. Despite its unapologetic approach, it retains the essence and aroma of that very land.

I must confess, I couldn't help but draw parallels with Season 2 of *True Detective*. While I loved Season 1, the initial six episodes of Season 2 felt like a slow crawl. However, the last two episodes hit with such force that words fail to describe it-much like the impact *FLSK* had on me.

I extend my best wishes to the entire team and eagerly await their next project. May their creative journey continue to flourish! 🎬🌟

A must watch for sure !!
mahimasharma-5139223 March 2024
Absolutely blown away by the acting in Faction Leni Seemakatha. Each actor delivers their lines with such raw emotion, it's clear everyone poured their heart into this project. The dialogue feels natural and engaging, drawing you deeper into the story with every scene. This isn't just a good movie, it's one of the best I've seen recently. A must-watch for anyone who appreciates powerful performances and a truly captivating story. Cheers to the entire team who made this a big success. The film's background music deserves high praise as well. The composers deserve major credit for creating a soundscape that lingers long after the credits roll. Also loved the scene where Actor Ranjith chases a guy, wearing towel and shaving cream on his face:D Good work guys!

One of my favourite Telugu Indie Film ever.
martinkubrickmemes7 April 2024
"Here's a director who's been let loose inside the toy store, and wants to play all night."

This film is the story of friendship and human greediness said in a very funny and crazy way. The director took all the time in the world before exploding but once the film lands well in the last 30 or 40 mins so, there is no looking back. At the end of the film, The above lines said by Roger ebert in the praise of Tarantino's pulp fiction just comes to my mind by the end of the film.

The dialogues are super fun. Cinematography and music is top notch. Acting is also good but the lip sync is the worst. Writing is the biggest asset of the film. For me, It is as entertaining as pulp fiction. Comedy kutha Bal undi.

Faction Leni semma Katha is a mass commercial film but came from an indie production house.

powerhouse film from the forgotten lands
kishoreGtk25 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I had the pleasure to watch this film in cinemas and boy, what a ride it was ! Telugu films have long stereotyped this southern part of Andhra Pradesh as a violent, villainous blood thirsty landscape. But this film changes it all very gently. It goes on to show that there are so many stories laid before us and all you need is people with vision and determination to bring them to life.

Brought to life with first time actors who made acting look so effortless. The film takes a bit of time to build its magic and finishes it with a bang. Beautifully shot, it leaves with some of images still lingering in your head, long after you finish watching the film.

The film sets itself apart in tone, music and color from all the movies that we see in Telugu language. That itself is an magnificent achievement for a small independent film. Great work from each and everyone involved !

I definitely recommend it to watch, you won't be disappointed.

An Unpolished Gem
maheshkhanna-2750521 April 2024
This film is a rare, unpolished gem that has emerged from the rugged, barren red soils of Anantapuram. Metaphorically speaking, it's like an uncut gem, symbolizing the raw essence of the story it tells. This rawness is further accentuated by the infusion of raw talent from various departments, pooled locally, all coming together to narrate a compelling tale set in this arid landscape, often associated with the ancient faction wars, a stark contrast to today's reality. Hence, the apt title, "Faction Leni Seema Katha," which delves into timeless themes of greed, desire, and ambitious pursuits, without the usual mindless portrayal of factional conflicts seen in mainstream cinema.

Despite any technical imperfections typical of debut projects, this film is crafted flawlessly, a testament to the passion and mastery of its creator, who hails from a fine arts background. With limited resources and a cast of first-time actors, it stands out as a well-crafted piece of art, with a compelling narrative, captivating cinematography, and an immersive background score that enhances the overall cinematic experience. Notwithstanding the absence of typical songs and female characters, the screenplay and storytelling never fail to captivate and keep the audience glued to the screen.

With better marketing, this film could reach a broader, more discerning audience and garner the recognition it deserves for its hard work and dedication. Certain scenes stand out for their creativity and authenticity, both in writing and visuals. Notably, it's possibly the first full-length feature film to authentically showcase the Anantapur slang, adding a unique soul and style to the storytelling. Special mention goes to the lead actors Ramu, Vinay, Ramesh, and Ranjit for their outstanding performances.

Here's hoping that this team receives the recognition they deserve and gets more opportunities to weave such compelling narratives in the future.
