Introduction
Blending mythology, suspense, thriller, and crime into one film is no small feat, but Tribanadhari Barbarik attempts just that. Directed by Mohan Srivatsa and presented by star filmmaker Maruthi, the movie is produced by Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala under the Vanara Celluloid banner.
Featuring an ensemble cast of Sathyaraj, Vasishta N. Simha, Udaya Bhanu, Satyam Rajesh, Kranthi Kiran, Sanchi Roy, and Meghana, the film is releasing on August 29 with paid premiers coming out a day before. Let’s see how it fares at box-office.
Story
The story begins with renowned psychologist Shyam Khatu (Sathyaraj), who reports the missing case of his granddaughter Nidhi (Meghana). Parallelly, Ram (Vasishta N. Simha) needs ₹30 lakhs to move abroad, and during his struggle he meets Satya (Sanchi Roy). Meanwhile, lady don Vakili Padma (Udaya Bhanu) finds herself entangled in her son-in-law Dev’s (Kranthi Kiran) gambling debts of ₹15 lakhs to gangster Dasanna (Motta Rajendran). How Ram and Dev attempt to solve their problems, what becomes of Nidhi’s case, and how these seemingly different threads tie into the theme of Barbarik forms the crux of the film.
Performances
Sathyaraj is the backbone of the narrative, delivering gravitas to his psychologist role with subtle expressions.

The background score and songs by Infusion Band enhance the suspense and emotional beats. For a debut project, Vanara Celluloid delivers high production values, with producer Vijaypal Reddy ensuring quality execution throughout.
Analysis
Tribanadhari Barbarik succeeds in weaving suspense with social commentary, particularly highlighting how addictions turn individuals into monsters.
Final Word
The screenplay grips right from the start, with an interval twist that keeps viewers invested. The second half unfolds at a rapid pace, leading to surprising pre-climax and climax turns before closing on an emotional high.
Though it occasionally treads familiar ground, Tribanadhari Barbarik deserves credit for blending mythology with a modern crime-thriller narrative, offering Telugu audiences a refreshing attempt in this genre.
