This understanding of natural host defenses and antibody duration provides a foundation for further research into controlling the spread of the virus. In an early study of 217 recovered COVID-19 patients, Thitithanyanont and her team at the department of microbiology at Mahidol University were able to identify viral clearance as well as the pattern of antibody responses with SARS-CoV-2. Thitithanyanont received the L’Oréal Thailand COVID-19 Solidarity Prize in the field of life sciences for her research projects addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, including diagnostic methods, treatments and vaccines. But the film takes a nosedive in the second half and never recovers making Khiladi a boring and rushed-up affair for the audience.Arunee Thitithanyanont Mahidol University Decent comedy, good songs, and interval twists are basic assets. On the whole, Khiladi is a half-baked crime thriller that works only in the first half. There is absolutely no seriousness in his narration during the second half as he transforms the hero’s character in a second from bad to good. He makes a mess of the proceedings and tries to play smart as the film’s caption but fails miserably. He narrated the film well in the first half and ran out of ideas in the second. Styling for Ravi Teja is not proper as he looks dull and de-glam in many scenes.Ĭoming to the director Ramesh Varma, he has done a disappointing job with the film. Action blocks are good in the first half but look over the top in the second. The production values of the film are pretty good. The climax looks way too silly and there was no need to open the threads for a sequel. The film is filled with such loose ends and fails to have a grip on the proceedings.
He gets hold of Ravi Teja in several scenes but fails to arrest him. The emotion in the second half goes completely missing.Īlso, the character played by Arjun is made a mockery off in many scenes. The film keeps fluctuating once in a while and bores the audience. The motive for him to play smart is not established at all. But that does not happen as the film goes down with way too many twists which were not needed at all.Īlso, the hero gets away with way too many crimes so easily. One would think the real flashback of the hero will be interesting in the latter part. But things get high with a solid interval bang. The film starts on a simple note and some basic comedy keeps the audience engaged. The first half has decent humor and the pre-interval twist and interval bang are the highlights and leave the audience in a high. Even though some songs feel like speed breakers, they have been shot well. One more advantage of the film is the hit music by DSP. Vennela Kishore, Murali Sharma, and Sachin Khedekar do their roles well. Off late, Anasuya is getting good roles and in Khiladi too, she has surprised with a good twist. The masses will love her glamor show in the film. Meenakshi Chowdhury gets a good role and performs well in all the scenes.ĭimple Hayati goes all out and explodes on screen. Khiladi is filled with a good supporting cast and each character has enough scope to perform.
He had to showcase two variations in the film and did it with aplomb. Khiladi is a tailor-made role for Ravi Teja and he excels in it.
