![]() He goes to the forest and discovers a house, in which he finds the dark room in his recurring dreams along with several tonsured patients on which brain surgery had been performed. Sanjeev talks to the now-old Amrutha who tells him that the last time she saw Ashwatthama was about 41 years ago, when he told her that he was going to his brothers place, and he realises that the place Ashwatthama told about was the same place where he was found by the hospital staff. But, a man who looks exactly like Sanjeev takes Ammu from her school, which leads Vishnu to believe that Sanjeev and the kidnapper share a connection. However, Pallavi and Yasir were able to prove his innocence by showing the CCTV footage of the hospital at the time of the kidnapping and proving his alibi. The suspect of the police sketch turns out to be Sanjeev and Vishnu arrests him despite having no other evidence. However, they are unable to follow up as Pallavi chastises Sanjeev for going in search of his past and not paying attention to their daughter. ![]() From another old friend and compatriot of Ashwatthama, they find that the last person who had seen him was his then-girlfriend Amrutha. They find from the author that the man in the picture was a student leader called Ashwatthama who was wanted for bombing a police station but was never found.

He locates a newspaper who witnessed the man with the dog and uses him to create a sketch of the suspect. His only lead is a CCTV footage of a hooded man along with a dog kidnapping a child from the highway at the early hours of the morning. Officer Vishnu (Rangadham) of the Preventive Crimes Unit is tasked with a case of multiple abductions of children, mostly orphans and runaways. ![]() He tries to lead a normal life but is haunted by a recurring dream of a dark room in which an unknown figure is performing brain surgery on a tonsured patient.

Sanjeev (Nithin Prasanna) is a disabled receptionist at a hospital who is married to a nurse Pallavi ( Preethi Asrani) and has a daughter Amrutha or Ammu (Baby Deevana). The film was released on 5 March 2021 to mixed to positive reviews and on Amazon Prime, streaming from 16 March 2021. The end reveals there’s space for a sequel, here’s hoping director Ugandhar tackles the subject better next time around.A: Ad Infinitum is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language medical thriller film directed by Ugandhar Muni which stars Nithin Prasanna and Preethi Asrani in lead roles. Even though A (Ad Infinitum) has some interesting points, it’s let down by a draggy screenplay. The music by Vijay Kurakula is not as great but the BGM keeps things interesting. The film’s leads end up delivering a decent performance. The slow narration in the first half tests your patience but things pick up once it reaches interval point. The film also makes a few missteps when it comes to the science of it all, not doing enough to make the audience invest and suspend disbelief. The film however is hard to follow as there’s too much happening in terms of the characters, even if the backstory of the protagonist is draggy. Thrillers are not a genre often explored in Tollywood but director Ugandar Muni makes a decent attempt. ![]() How Sanjeev ties up to this case forms the story. ![]() At the other end of the tale is police officer Vishnu (Rangadham), who is about to retire and takes up the case of a child abduction. He decides to dig deeper with the help of his journalist friend. The couple leads a normal, happy life but Sanjeev’s dreams keep haunting him. Sanjeev suffers from memory loss and cannot recollect his past from before he met Pallavi at the hospital. They even have a daughter called Amrutha (Baby Deevana). Sanjeev (Nithin Prasanna) is a disabled receptionist who’s married to a nurse called Pallavi (Preethi Asrani). And while the film does have an interesting premise, slow narration and faulty logic when it comes to science, makes the film falter. Review: The trailer of A (Ad Infinitum) looked promising, with the dialogue “Science demands sacrifice” making one expect something more than the usual drama. But what he ends up finding out is much more than what he bargained for. Story: Sajeev (Nithin Prasanna) cannot recollect his past but keeps dreaming of it. ![]()
