Junior Twitter Review

Junior marks the debut of Kiriti Reddy, son of mining baron Gali Janardhan Reddy. The film had been in the making for a long time and finally hit the screens on July 18, 2025. Junior was released in Kannada and Telugu simultaneously and has taken a decent start at the box office, thanks to aggressive promotions. The occupancy, especially in the Telugu states, is quite good.

The presence of Genelia Deshmukh has helped things big time, but the entire focus is on Kiriti Reddy’s debut. Well, as per the latest trends and social media buzz, Kiriti Reddy has passed with flying colours. All those who have seen the film are praising the young actor big time. Be it his dances, fights, or the way he has performed in emotional scenes, which is being liked by many.

One of those who watched the film posted, #Kireeti as a debutant is a showstopper! His electrifying dance moves lit up the screen with unmatched energy & grace. His precision in fight sequences was thrilling & the ease in his acting is absolutely captivating. With this stellar start he has a bright future."

In all the promotional interviews, Kiriti Reddy openly revealed that he is an ardent fan of Junior NTR and learned dancing by watching the RRR star’s performances. When it comes to dances, he is being lauded big time for the way he performed in the film. Some say he even resembled Junior NTR in his dance moves. You've resembled #NTR with your speed moves. What a start to your career channeling the greatest in the game," posted yet another social media user.

Junior has been directed by Radhakrishna and is a family drama, also featuring noted Kannada actor B. Ravichandran. The family drama includes a proper flashback and solid emotions that have been showcased neatly in the second half. However, there are also reactions saying that the story is quite routine and feels like an amalgamation of various films combined to create Junior. "Junior” works only as a star-launch vehicle — providing Kireeti Reddy the space to showcase his talent and screen appeal." posted yet another user.
