Okka Kshanam (transl. One Second) is a 2017 Indian Telugu-language science fiction film directed by Vi Anand and produced by Chakri Chigurupati under Lakshmi Narasimha Entertainments banner.[2] The film stars Allu Sirish, Surbhi Puranik, Srinivas Avasarala, and Seerat Kapoor.[3] The film deals with a parallel life concept where the protagonist fights against his own destiny, fate and time. It highly borrows from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.[4]

The film's cinematography is by Shyam K Naidu, while the score and soundtrack is composed by Mani Sharma. The film is released worldwide on 28 December 2017 to good reviews from critics and audience.[5] The film was later dubbed and released in Hindi as Shoorveer 2 in 2019. This film also dubbed in Malayalam as a parallel crime.

Plot[edit]

The story starts off with a couple in a parking lot. Their son Jeeva (Allu Sirish) finds Jyothsna aka Jo (Surbhi). They quickly fall in love, and then a few weeks later, Jo invites Jeeva to her apartment. She then shows that she enjoys people-watching, and two interesting subjects, Srinivas (Srinivas Avasarala) and Swathi (Seerat Kapoor). The young couple constantly feuds, and Jeeva chooses to follow around Srinivas, who reveals his love story to Jeeva.

Remarkably, the thing happening in Jo's life has already happened in Swathi's life. They visit a scientist (Jayaprakash), who says that they have parallel lives and the final outcome is the same, which means that whatever is happening to Swati will happen with Jo after a year. When they return to the apartment, they find out that Swathi has been murdered, and Srinivas is the killer. Jeeva (who knows that Srinivas loves Swati deeply) is not willing to accept the fact and questioned Srinivas about this. At first, he refuses, but he later reveals that Swati committed suicide as she was not able to cope with the grief of accidentally killing five newborn babies. But after knowing that Jo does not have the courage to commit suicide, Jeeva was certain that Swati was murdered as she and Jo are the same.

After a lot of efforts, Jeeva came to know that Swati was killed by the MD of Olympus Hospital, T. S. Tarun (Arun Kumar Dasari) , as she came to know that the five kids died in the hospital due to the negligence of the management. Later that night, Jo came to know about this from Swati's mail. For this reason, Tarun tried to kill Jo; however, Jeeva saved her in the nick of time and killed Tarun, thereby changing the prediction of the scientist.

Production[edit]

The film met with trouble for a brief period of time over the allegations that the film borrows the script from a Korean film titled Parallel Life. Another producer Anil Sunkara reportedly had already brought the remake rights of the same film for his next production venture, 2 Memiddaram. Prior to the release, it was assumed that the story line of Okka Kshanam closely followed the same path, Sunkara allegedly filed a complaint against the makers with the film chamber. However, once the producer saw the film and understood the same and even wished the team good luck for release on his official Twitter page. Post release, it was cleared that Vi Anand’ s story and the screenplay was original. The director was also unanimously appreciated for his screenwriting in the film.[6][7]
