Kakinada Sridevi's Performance in ‘Court’ Earns Widespread Praise

Kakinada Sridevi has become a widely discussed name after the release of the film Court. Those who have seen the movie might already recognize her, as she was present in interviews and events related to the film. However, she did not attract significant attention earlier, as she was not portrayed in a glamorous manner. Despite this, audiences felt she had a unique charm. Now, after watching the movie, many have come out as fans of her natural acting skills.

In a past interview, Sridevi revealed that she had played minor roles in one or two films before. However, those movies did not bring her much recognition. While studying her intermediate education in Kakinada, she was making social media reels when she got an opportunity to act in this film. She did not let the chance slip away and impressed audiences with her portrayal of ‘Jabili’. Despite being relatively new to the industry, she conveyed emotions effectively, matching the depth of seasoned actors.

Certain scenes in the film particularly highlighted her talent—such as when she gets caught lifting a phone from her bag, when she embraces her mother in distress, when she gets emotional upon seeing Chandu in court, and during the climax sequence. One standout moment is when she signals to Chandu with just her eyes at a wedding—an expression that strongly suggests her potential as a fine actress.

Such subtle yet powerful performances are commonly seen in Malayalam cinema, and Sridevi delivering such a performance in her debut as a lead actress speaks volumes about her talent. The film Court has been praised for its story, screenplay, and music, but Sridevi has emerged as one of its biggest highlights, earning significant appreciation alongside actors like Shivaji and Priyadarshi. Many are now discussing how a young woman from Kakinada has managed to deliver such an outstanding performance.

Following in the footsteps of Telugu actresses like Anjali, Swathi, and Anandhi, there is speculation that Sridevi might establish herself as a notable actress in the industry. It remains to be seen how her career progresses from here.
