Story:
After graduation, Aditya (Anand Deverakonda) dreams of becoming a filmmaker. However, his parents send him to the UK to pursue his post-graduation. On his very first day at college, he meets Kadali (Vaishnavi Chaitanya), and the two quickly grow close. They spend an entire day together and eventually decide to stay in the same place.
How does their relationship gradually turn into love? Do they develop a deeper emotional connection? And how far does their relationship go? The answers to these questions form the crux of the story.
Performances:
Anand Deverakonda delivers a sincere and committed performance in the lead role. He appears slightly shaky in the opening, but gradually settles into the character as the film progresses and delivers a stronger performance in the later stages.
Vaishnavi Chaitanya is decent in her role and shares good chemistry with Anand. Shivaji and Vasuki make their presence felt despite having limited screen time. Srinivas Gavireddy and the rest of the supporting cast are adequate.

What Works:
The connection to the 90s web series in the opening portions is a nice touch. The fun track involving the hero's friend also works well and adds some entertaining moments.
The romance between Anand and Vaishnavi is handled neatly without making their relationship feel awkward or forced. The second half brings several impactful emotional moments that add depth to the narrative, with the climax also delivering emotionally.
The music and cinematography complement the mood and setting of the film effectively.

What Doesn't Work:
The film feels slightly rushed in certain portions. Sensitive topics such as periods and PCOD required better establishment and could have been handled with more depth.
The parents' characters also had scope for better utilization. Similarly, some of the intense behavioural changes in the lead characters happen rather abruptly and could have been established more convincingly.

Epic Review and Verdict:
Director Aditya Haasan delivers an engaging love story with EPIC despite its share of flaws. The film works particularly well when it focuses on the relationship and emotional journey of its lead characters. While a few rushed portions and underdeveloped aspects hold it back from being more effective, EPIC still manages to deliver a decent and emotionally engaging experience.
