Let me start off by saying that this is one of the best movies in Telugu(or maybe all languages) that I have watched this year.
The movie stays rooted throughout and completes the character arcs well.
It brought back memories from my days in Vijayawada, especially the Guntur slang which is not artificial or forced but fits in perfectly and organically. The slang and mannerisms are on point for almost everyone except Anand, who kind of struggles in getting the accent right.
In terms of performances, the lead actors Anand and Varsha have done decently well and for his second film, Anand does a great job in picking such a film and staying as much as possible in a realistic character. The artists in the roles of Anand's father Kondalrao and friend Gopal along with Gautami have also managed to steal the show. The comedy was also well knit into the story and had me in splits at multiple places.
Overall, it was satisfying to watch a movie that is breathe of fresh air among the star-studded disappointments from Tollywood that have strong elevations of the hero but weak, predictable and repetitive stories. Adding to movies like Pelli Choopulu, ENE and Agent Sai Srinivasa Atreya, this gem of a movie joins the list.
