Razor is an action-thriller directed by and starring Ravi Babu, releasing in theaters today (May 8, 2026). Let’s see if this Razor Review finds the film delivering strong content like Ravi Babu’s previous hits.
Story
Home Minister Kanakaraju (Veeranna Chowdary) murders Chief Minister Sitaramayya (Ramaraju) when he refuses to step down. Kanakaraju and his son discover that a CCTV business owner named Vishnu (Tanish) accidentally captured footage of them murdering the CM.
Kanakaraju’s son and his men brutally murder Vishnu and his wife. The rest of the story follows how Vishnu’s young daughter, Teju (Baby Tejal Vikhyathi), is saved by Rudra Pratap (Ravi Babu), a mobile pet groomer, as she becomes the living evidence of her parents’ killing.
Performances
Ravi Babu plays the lead role, and his screen presence fits the character. He looks convincing in action sequences but delivers a merely okay performance overall. Tanish, Inaya Sultana, Baby Tejal Vikhyathi, Banerjee, Pranavi Manukonda, Veeranna Chowdary, Ramaraju, and others fail to leave any impact—similar to the underwhelming performances in recent Telugu action films.
Analysis
Ravi Babu acts and directs Razor. The film jumps into the main storyline from the first scene, and within the first half hour, the conflict and target for the lead character are established.
After an impressive start, however, the film becomes highly predictable. The way villains and their scenes are shown is too routine. You can easily guess the proceedings, and there are hardly any surprises in the screenplay.
The film also has many logical errors. A missing child case creates state-wide sensation, but police are rarely seen—despite the hero and his men fighting goons and finding clues about an important video.
In the entire film, a couple of action sequences work well, and a hard-hitting family flashback in the second half is fine, though overdramatic. Besides these parts, the film moves along on an uninteresting note.
Positives
- A couple of strong action sequences
- Engaging opening moments
Negatives
- Artificial emotions
- Outdated handling of villain characters
- Poor casting and weak performances
- Excessive violence in fights
Razor Review – Final Verdict
Ravi Babu’s violent action drama Razor stays focused on its core theme from the first scene. But the film gets weighed down by a predictable narrative and weak performances from the cast. The emotional depth feels limited, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Only a couple of action sequences manage to leave an impact in this otherwise routine thriller.
