'Cheekatilo' sparks mixed reactions on X after OTT release

Sobhita Dhulipala starrer, Cheekatilo, is currently streaming on Prime Video, and netizens are dropping mixed reactions about the crime thriller

A viewer on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Barely anything to thrill. #Cheekatilo has good OTT production, but the thrills are almost nonexistent. Female lead’s unconvincing investigation and a familiar final reveal make it an unimpressive attempt at a crime thriller. Just for a lazy OTT evening, nothing more.”

Another fan shared, “Not a great film. The writing was weak and unconvincing, and the twist in the climax didn't really land. However, the performances and cinematography were excellent!”

A third user tweeted, “A timepass #crimethriller film you can watch while eating.”

Another user on social media posted, "A well executed investigation thriller, a 5 more minute revealing part would’ve been a better ending to this. #SobhithaDhulipala mam was too good, couldn’t take my eyes off her!

Meanwhile, one of the moviegoer lauded the lead, saying, “Just finished Cheekatilo! Sobhita Dhulipala is absolutely magnetic as Sandhya Nelluri. She carries the entire film with such grace and intensity. A must-watch for anyone who loves a powerful, female-led crime thriller.”

For the unversed, the film follows Sandhya, a TV reporter tired of her usual news work. 

The character in search of more meaningful assignments, joined her friend Bobby to start a podcast about solving old, forgotten crime cases. 

When Bobby suddenly dies, Sandhya is drawn into a dangerous investigation that makes her face shocking truths.
