RED (2021) is an Indian Telugu-language action thriller directed by Kishore Tirumala. The film stars Ram Pothineni in a dual role as Siddharth and Aditya, identical twins with starkly different personalities. Siddharth is a responsible civil engineer, while Aditya is a reckless gambler with a violent streak.
The story takes a gripping turn when a brutal murder shakes the city, and the police, led by investigative officer Yamini (Malavika Sharma), find evidence pointing to one of the twins. As the investigation deepens, the authorities struggle to distinguish between the two, leading to a high-stakes game of deception, action, and suspense. The film keeps the audience guessing about who the real culprit is while exploring themes of identity, crime, and justice.
With intense performances, action-packed sequences, and a thrilling narrative, RED keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The film, a remake of the Tamil movie Thadam (2019), was well-received for its gripping screenplay and Ram Pothineni’s impressive dual performance. The background score and cinematography further enhance the tension, making it an engaging watch for fans of crime thrillers.
