A short-tempered medical college student Arjun Reddy falls in love with his junior Preeti who shares an intimate relationship with him for years. The couple are forced to break up when Preeti's father arranges for her to be married to another man in her caste. The impact of the break-up affects Arjun who becomes an alcoholic and drug addict who realizes his ways and tries to redeem himself and get back to normal.
I've seen this film twice. While it is well-produced, interesting, and well-made in general, Arjun Reddy falls flat due to its overt misogyny and toxic masculinity. Arjun is an alcoholic medical student then a doctor-surgeon — and we are supposed to accept his alcoholism as a symptom of depression. Nt my cup of tea, even though it is a rather well-done movie. Vijay Devarakonda is searing on the screen and is the only enticing aspect.
