Ruhani Sharma has turned into a cop for the first time in her career with the film HER. The cop drama has released today and, read our review to find out if the film has any juice in it or not.
Plot
One fine day, the cops find the dead bodies of Vishal Pasupuleti and Swathi. Archana Prasad (Ruhani Sharma), who is back from her six-month suspension, is given the responsibility of cracking the case. Who killed Vishal and Swathi? Did Archana solve the murder mystery? This forms part of the crux of the story.
Performances
Ruhani Sharma gave her cent percent effort to the film. Her looks, body language, and expressions were spot on. The young actress performed with aplomb in all the scenes, and with HER, Ruhani proved that she could pull off any role. Jeevan’s comedy timing was good, and he evoked laughs in a few scenes.

Analysis
When compared to the first half, the second half has a few engaging moments. The interval block is designed nicely, and it raises curiosity as to what happens next. The movie is just about 100 minutes, and the editing is crisp. Sanjay Swaroop, Pradeep Rudra, Vinod Varma, and Ravi Varma pass muster.
HER is just another regular investigative thriller that fails to offer anything new. It lacks the essential thrilling elements that are expected of an ideal crime thriller. The investigative portions are routine and bland, failing to create excitement. Though the second half has a few decent portions, they are again short-lived.
The very reason why the murders are committed disappoints immensely. The movie doesn’t have proper emotions too. The love track featuring Ruhani and Vikas Vashista is not good. The movie has a sequel, too, but the first part doesn’t create enough interest to wait for the second installment. Pavan’s background score is okay. Vishnu Besi’s cinematography is neat, and especially the action block that happens in the Karnataka region is shot well.
HER Chapter 1 is a regular investigative thriller that has some decent moments here and there. A few portions of the second half raise interest, but the main twist is predictable and does not create any novel for the audience to enjoy and there are no edge-of-the-seat moments as well. So choose well if you want to watch the film or not.
Bottom Line- Only for Ruhani Sharma’s performance
2.5/5
