Psych Siddharth makes a bold entry filled with cuss words!

Once upon a time, using abusive or vulgar language in public was considered a big offense. But over the years, under the name of creative freedom, such language has now become normalized even in films. No matter how much the Censor Board mutes, audiences can still easily understand the double meanings being conveyed you don’t need a lip-sync expert to figure it out. When questioned, filmmakers justify it by saying, “We’re just showing what exists in real life.” But this has gradually turned into a common trend. The latest movie to join this list is “Psych Siddharth”, starring Nandu, slated for release on December 12.

A short teaser was released introducing the protagonist’s characterization. The story revolves around a young man from Hyderabad, who becomes frustrated with city life and people’s behavior, and starts talking like a psycho, lacing every dialogue with curse words. He can’t have a single conversation whether with an RTC bus driver, a friend, or his girlfriend without adding some filthy words. The film seems clearly targeted toward youth audiences.

While Nandu has given a strong performance as an actor, the teaser is so full of abusive language that it’s hard to watch with family. Directed by Varun Reddy, Psych Siddharth has Nandu not only as the lead actor but also as a co-writer. The music is composed by Smaran Sai. The question arises can’t a film attract youth without vulgarity? Perhaps today’s young directors would say no. For instance, films like Little Hearts have only one or two borderline words, but otherwise clean dialogues. Even Jathi Ratnalu, though comedic, doesn’t rely on double meanings. So, why was such heavy vulgarity needed in Psych Siddharth? That’ll only be clear once the movie releases. Incidentally, the film is produced in association with Asian Suresh Productions, and features Yamini Bhaskar, Priyanka Rebecca, and others in the cast.
