V

V (2020) is an Indian crime action-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Mohana Krishna Indraganti, it runs over two hours in Telugu and builds a chase in which hunter and prey keep trading places.

DCP Aditya is a decorated cop used to closing every case. Then a string of killings hits the city, and the murderer starts leaving notes addressed to him personally — taunting, daring, almost playful. To stop four more deaths and save his medals, his career and his name, Aditya teams up with an aspiring crime novelist and slowly digs into the killer's buried past. Sudheer Babu plays the cop, Nani plays his elusive opponent, with Nivetha Thomas and Aditi Rao Hydari in key roles.

The clever twist is that you learn who's killing almost from the start, so the tension rides on the why rather than the who. It's for fans of cat-and-mouse duels and big, glossy South Indian genre cinema. Stream V (2020) online on iFILM.
