However, the performances and cinematography were excellent!” A third user wrote, “ Attempt to make ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING gone wrong”
Cheekatilo X Review
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.

😭😭😭
Less suspense. More melodrama. Very ordinary screenplay. The final plot twist is predictable but not convincing at all… pic.twitter.com/F5qJEIlwal

About Cheekatilo Movie
The Telugu movie is directed by Sharan Kopishetty and produced by the veteran D. Suresh Babu under the banner of Suresh Productions. Alongside Sobhita Dhulipala, Cheekatilo also features Viswadev Rachakonda, Jhansi, Aamani, and Esha Chawla in key roles.
Sobhita Dhulipala, who plays the lead character of Sandhya in Cheekatilo, speaking about the movie shared, "Playing 'Sandhya' has been a superb experience - she's a front-footed young woman who is an independent thinker, deeply committed to standing by her belief system no matter the resistance. Her choices are shaped by a unique stubbornness that has a history of its own. Playing a character rooted in the by-lanes of Hyderabad and other Telugu localities and coming from a cultural background as my real self, the integration between the character and my own expression was seamless and utterly enjoyable."
