“Amigos” is a Telugu action-thriller that brings a unique twist to the doppelganger concept, weaving a gripping tale around identity and hidden motives. The story begins when Siddharth, a young businessman, accidentally discovers two men who look exactly like him—Manjunath, a gentle software engineer, and Michael, a mysterious figure with a cold demeanor. They meet through a doppelganger-finding website and quickly become friends. However, beneath their initial camaraderie lies a dark secret: one of them is actually a dangerous international criminal wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) of India.
Nandamuri Kalyan Ram delivers a powerful performance, portraying all three characters with distinct personalities: the kind-hearted Siddharth, the timid Manjunath, and the ruthless, scheming Michael/Bipin Roy. The tension between these characters leads to intense mind games, keeping the audience guessing about who is truly a friend and who is the enemy. Each twist in the plot heightens the suspense, especially as Michael’s sinister plans are gradually revealed, putting the other two in mortal danger.
Beyond the action and investigation, “Amigos” also balances humor and romance through the relationship between Siddharth and Ishika (Ashika Ranganath), offering moments of relief amid the tension. The film’s greatest strength lies in its exploration of the doppelganger idea—people who look identical but make completely different choices, leading to surprising and captivating plot twists.
