Plot
We follow Karthik, a young man who does odd jobs for Tillu, a local politician. He falls in love with his neighbor Aradhana, who dreams of becoming a big name in badminton. She shares a small house with her mother and Karthik is oblivious to her interest in him.
Things take a dark turn during the election season. Tillu is forced to hide a sensitive matter and Karthik thinks Aradhana’s vacant house is the right place. When he goes inside, he is shocked to find that both Aradhana and her mother are dead. What seems strange is that he is sure that he saw her alive before entering. Is it really her, or something else?
This discovery sets off an investigation. Karthik teams up with police officer Rana Pratap, played by Sai Kumar.
Positives
Despite its many issues, the film gets a few things right. The intermission block lands with some force and eventually awakens the dragging story.
Once the mystery element kicks in, there are moments where the pieces start to fall into place properly. A couple of twists involving a medical angle and political connections add some depth. The writing plants small clues early on that later become contextual, which thriller fans might appreciate.
On the technical side, the visuals capture the colony setting reasonably well. Bheem’s Cicerolio’s background music helps with the suspenseful stretches, adding tension where the script lacks. One song fits naturally into the flow, but the overall soundtrack doesn’t make much of an impression. Kamakshi brings a good screen presence and the pre-climax sequence builds up the appropriate tension.
My Take
I went into 12A Railway Colony hoping to see Allari Naresh successfully pull off a new genre. Unfortunately, the film doesn’t give him—or anyone else—much to work with. The opening hour tested my patience with its lack of direction and energy. Even when things picked up later, the improvement felt too little and too late.
Naresh clearly worked hard on the role, and I respect his willingness to step outside his comfort zone. But a good performance needs a solid foundation, and this script doesn’t provide one. Kamakshi deserved more screen time and better writing for a character this central to the story. The technical work is a mixed bag—some decent camera work undermined by obvious visual shortcuts.
What frustrated me most was the film’s identity crisis. The investigation follows predictable patterns, the emotional beats feel hollow, and the pacing drags throughout. For a thriller, there’s surprisingly little that thrills.
