The movie *Naa Peru Surya, Naa Illu India* is a pulsating cinema that presents the issues of anger, patriotism, and self-discovery in the fiery tale of a short-tempered soldier. It talks about the tale of Surya whose unbridled anger jeopardizes his ambitions of serving at the border and how a row of events make him fight with his inner devils. Offering the right balance between the action that will get your adrenaline pumping and the heartfelt story that will drive you to tears, the movie is an interesting take on the story of a man who had to choose between his hot-blooded nature and his longing to be a disciplined and responsible man.
The acting is also quite good, particularly the volatile nature of Surya that has been brought out by the lead actor. The way he went through emotional turmoil as a hot-headed soldier to a person that seeks inner peace is represented honestly, and it is easy to connect to his emotional rollercoaster and find inspiration in it. The pace is quite fast, the cinematography dynamic, the score appropriate, the production design influential, all contributing to intensifying the action scenes and the more silent and reflective ones. The visual style of the film, along with editing, serves to sustain the interest of the viewer, focusing on the emotional investment of the inner and outer struggles of Surya.
Finally, the overall message of the film concerning the self-control and self-knowledge was emotional. Though it sometimes succumbs to expected patriotic and melodramatic stereotypes, the natural acting and emotion-filled narration makes it rise above the expected cliches. *Naa Peru Surya, Naa Illu India* made me think about the necessity to control emotions and the strength of an inner world. It is a romantic, vigorous look at the strength of the human spirit that cannot be forgotten easily and would stick with you more so if you are moved by the ideas of patriotism and self-improvement.
