Sreekaram tells the story of Karthik (Sharwanand), a talented software engineer from a humble farmer’s family in a village near Tirupati. Despite a flourishing career in Hyderabad, Karthik becomes deeply concerned about the plight of farmers, including his own father Keshavulu (Rao Ramesh), who struggles with debts. Motivated by the decline of agriculture and migration of villagers to cities as daily wage laborers, Karthik quits his high-paying IT job and returns home with a mission: to revive farming in his village and make it a profitable profession.

The film follows his journey as he convinces reluctant villagers to embrace community farming, overcomes the challenges posed by a greedy moneylender (Sai Kumar), and navigates personal dynamics, including his father’s skepticism and his colleague-turned-love-interest Chaitra (Priyanka Arul Mohan). Along the way, Karthik blends modern agricultural techniques with social media marketing to transform the village economy.

Highlights
Emotional core rooted in father-son and community bonds
Introduction of modern community farming as a concept
Sharwanand’s committed performance
Effective background score enhancing key sequences
Honest portrayal of rural struggles

Drawbacks
Overstretched love track between Karthik and Chaitra
Weak antagonist and minimal conflict
Predictable narrative and formulaic storytelling
Simplistic depiction of farming triumph; lacks deeper exploration of institutional and market challenges

Verdict
Sreekaram is an honest, heartfelt drama with its heart in the right place. While it may not achieve cinematic brilliance due to a predictable storyline and commercial compromises, it succeeds in bringing attention to the plight of farmers, emphasizing dignity in agriculture, and inspiring younger generations to consider farming as a viable profession.
