Red is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language crime thriller film directed by Kishore Tirumala and produced by Sravanthi Ravi Kishore under Sri Sravanthi Movies. It stars Ram Pothineni in a double role alongside Nivetha Pethuraj, Malvika Sharma and Amritha Aiyer.
A remake of the 2019 Tamil-language film Thadam by Magizh Thirumeni, it follows a murder investigation involving a civil engineer and his lookalike as prime suspects.
In the near future, a mysterious new technology has emerged: the ability to record and playback someone’s thoughts. This technology is quickly put to use, and the resulting data is called “red”. When a person dies, all of their thoughts are transferred to a hard drive that can be played back for anyone.
This creates a world where people can revisit every moment of their life. In the film, it’s a world of constant happiness. I went into this film with my expectations set a little higher than they should have been. I love a good thriller that also makes me think. I was looking for a film that would make me say, “wow, that was amazing.”

Red (2021) Telugu Movie Trailer
Siddharth is a IIT graduated civil engineer running a successful building firm, while his lookalike, Aditya, is a gambling thief who deceives people along with his sidekick, Vema. Siddharth is in love with Mahima, while Gayathri loves Aditya, unaware of his real identity.
One day, Aditya tries to help Vema pay his debt by extracting money from Gayathri through lies, but she helps him in spite of knowing the truth. After taking the money, Aditya is enraged, and so is Siddharth after a party.
That night, one of them breaks into a house and attacks the owner, Akash, stabbing him to death. The next day, Aditya frees Vema by paying his debt and wins Gayathri’s trust by returning her money and telling her the truth.
As the investigation of Akash’s murder proceeds, a selfie clicked by a couple nearby is found with either Siddharth or Aditya in it. Both of them are brought in and interrogated without knowledge of the other’s presence.
Sampath, an inspector who shares an old rivalry with Siddharth, tortures him. Siddharth’s alibi is that his car broke down, so he called a taxi driver to help him. Aditya, on the other hand, cites various laws to escape torture. Sub-inspector Yamini is assigned to solve the case.
She reaches out to Akash’s friend and shows him the photograph of Siddharth/Aditya, but he refuses to recognize him. She also questions Vema and orders him not to leave the city without permission, but he secretly escapes.
