Sumanth-starrer Newton's Third Law trailer promises a hard-hitting investigative thriller set in the late nineties!

Hyderabad, July 26

The makers of director Rajesh Karna's eagerly awaited Telugu investigative thriller 'Newton's Third Law', featuring actor Sumanth in the lead, have now released a gripping trailer of the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.

Telugu star Nagarjuna, who shared the trailer of the film, on his X timeline, wrote, "#Newtons3rdLaw is OUT NOW! Every action has a consequence... so true!!In Theatres from July 31. Watch the trailer now... all the best @iSumanth and team."

The trailer makes it evident that the story is set in the year 1999. A voice over says, "Even now, you have the time to correct the mistakes you did. Not everybody gets that opportunity."

A police officer is seen telling Sumanth, "It is an accident case. But we don't know if it is an accident or a murder." Sumanth, who plays a character called Vasudev, is then seen inquiring a person, "What actually happened last night?"

Meanwhile, two youths, who are in college, are seen having a telephonic conversation, with one of them telling the other that there is a small job and if they complete it, they will be paid Rs 20,000.

The trailer then shows a person, holding a revolver, saying, "They say that on every grain of rice that is grown, the name of the person who is to consume it, will be written. If that is true, then, the bullets too will the names of the people they will kill."

The trailer also gives away the fact that Jagapathi Babu plays a character called Mercury. He is shown shooting and killing people while Sumanth, the person investigating a series of crimes, racks his brains to figure out if they are connected and if so, how.

On the whole, the trailer gives the impression that the film will be an engaging and intelligent investigative thriller.

The film, apart from Sumanth Yarlagadda and Jagapathi Babu, will also feature a number of actors including Avasarala Srinivas, Ravi Varma, Shelley N Kumar, Trinadh Varma, Neha Pathan, Pandit Goutham,Harini Rao Gaganam, Rupesh Marrapu and Abhinayanaa.

Finally a proper investigative thriller in Telugu! The trailer doesn't give away too much but builds curiosity. Hope the writing is tight and not just style over substance. Sumanth deserves a hit after all these years. All the best to the team! 🙏

The music by Sinjith Yerramilli sounds promising in the trailer. And that line about correcting mistakes - "Even now, you have the time to correct the mistakes you did" - stayed with me. Strong concept. Let's see if the execution matches the hype. 🤔

As someone who follows Telugu cinema from abroad, this trailer grabbed my attention. The late 90s setting with college kids and the mysterious job for ₹20,000 feels real and relatable. Hope it's not just a regular crime story but something deeper. Nagarjuna's support is classy too.

Jagapathi Babu as Mercury is going to be epic! The guy can play villain roles like nobody else. But my only concern is - will the film be too predictable? The trailer hints at a connection between the crimes but I hope there are enough twists. Still, excited to watch Sumanth in action after long! 🎬

The cinematography looks top-notch! Veda Vyas Gottipati seems to have captured the 1999 aesthetic perfectly. But I wish they hadn't shown Mercury shooting in the trailer - would have preferred that as a surprise. Regardless, it's a good sign that the technical team is strong. Fingers crossed for a gripping story! 🍿
