Style Over Substance
best-review3 November 2023
The plot's simple - a bunch of greedy characters jump on a big money opportunity.

The way they've treated and presented it is pretty fresh for a Telugu film. But let's be real, the screenplay doesn't grip you as much as the makers hoped. The comedy lands in some scenes and flops in others. The pace might drag a bit at times, but it's not a snail's crawl, no siree.

Gotta give props to the director - he nailed it. Big shoutout to Tharun Bhaskar for his top-notch work.

As for the actors, Chaitanya, Rag Mayur, Jeevan, Vishnu oi and Tarun are killin' it in their roles, and Brahmanandam's tryin' out a different kind of comedy that hits in some scenes. The rest of the crew also brings their A-game.

Production design's off the hook, with world-class locations, sets, props, costumes, and makeup. Cinematography's on point, and the editing's as snazzy as a Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright flick.

The music's just okay, nothin' to write home about. If you're expectin' the moon, you might be disappointed, but if you go in with an open mind, you could dig it.

Seems like this one's more of a couch potato special than a big-screen bonanza.

The themes don't connect
chandu-bandaru62943 November 2023
It seems like the secondary characters (or so they seemed as per introduction) dominate the story to a point where the main leads dont matter.

Bramhanandam's emotional connect doesn't matter. Him saying "we don't need money if it comes with these many problems" doesn't matter by the end as his grandson ends up with easy money anyway. His character doesnt matter by the end, same as the two leads that he is with in the movie.

In fact, all the characters needed more time to complete their arcs. The film didnt seem to know how to do it.

It seemed like threads were laid out to stitch together a good story and in the second half they were hastily tied off instead of being beautifully knitted.

With certainty, the script could've used better writers and more rewrites. The movie making is fantastic. The other departments are fantastic.

Keedaa Cola - A fresh and fizzy beverage to finish off
surajgorti4 November 2023
Keedaa cola is a 2023 Telugu film directed by Tharun Bhascker, starring, the GOAT Brahmanandam, Chaitanya rao ( 30 weds 21) fame, Roadies Raghu, Rag Mayur, Jeevan Kumar, Vishnu and the OG's Tharun Bhascker and Jeevan Kumar. What attracts me the most is this caper genre. Movies made in this genre stands best and never disappoints, in short, these kind of films have good repetitive value. Its more like a comfort watch for the youth.

Now coming to the story, as seen in the trailer, the entire story depends on one cockroach, the trouble it caused etc, the more I say about it, less interesting it becomes. Being honest, its a routine Tharun Bhascker film ( in a positive way), his significance can be seen in the entire film. The dialogues written by him are just hilarious, literally its a laughter therapy. The camera work and editing by upendra are simply superb. The acting by the lead never felt boring and dramatic. It was perfect till the end, emotions and the intense were maintained throughout the movie. The GOAT Brahmanandam's presence is sufficient to deliver laughs.

The other thing that I liked the most are the characterisations of the cast. It was very well designed esp Tharun's character. They were dark and satirical. Mad stuff by Vivek Sagar. His mass composition , bgms added the rough / massy element in the screenplay. The baddies characters were very well suited to the actors.

Overall, its a fun watch, give your time to it , let the dopamine kick in. All the characters and the screenplay acts in the same rhythm. The 2hrs of complete madness and laugh riot will make your weekend better and will not keep you dissatisfied. So, can this be called as hat-trick for Tharun? Yes, its definitely a hat-trick for Tharun, his writings and acting made the cut. Cant say more, experience this madness in your nearest theatres. The Keeda in the cola is excited to see you'll in the theatres laughing...

Warning: Spoilers
In tollywood there are few directors who try new movies and they actually turn out good tharun bhasker is definitely one of them comedy timing and all is nice camera angles are brilliant in some shots the chemistry between the three leads is good there are some flaws but overall movie is very good go watch it movies like this we should encourage them instead of encourage comercial cringe movies ok but one small complain From starting onwards they should that the ceo is scared of people knowing about finding a cockroach was in one of the bottles but in the ending they show that he is scared of the keeda cola's formula getting out in my opinion if they had shown he was scared from the starting about the colas formula it would have been good.

Surrender the bottle!
chand-suhas30 December 2023
Vaasthu is living with his grandfather and has lost a case wherein he is asked to pay up 1cr for the synthetic doll. His lawyer who is also his best friend is unable to save him and the trio are in dire need of money. Similarly, there is another group of trio, led by Bhakta Naidu and his brother Jeevan wants to be corporator. They require big money for the same. Then there is a cola bottle with a cockroach in it and it becomes the means of making big money for both of these groups. How they clash and eventually try to earn the money while the cola company retorts back with violence, forms rest of the story.

Keedaa Cola strictly works in parts wherein several individual scenes tickle the funny bone solely through the quirky lines and comedy timing. But the film as a whole is simply too dull. This has the set of characters one requires for a crime comedy genre but the writing should have been sharp throughout. The flow is totally uneven especially in the first half and to be honest, Surrender the bottle bit was only proper funny scene throughout. After the dull first half saved only by Tharun Bhascker, it is the second half that shifts the gear a bit. Sadly, here too the scenes work better only in the final act and the whole obsession with the doll joke fell flat.

Lived up to the hype!
vikaskundbi4 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Can say this is written by Tharun without checking credits as he involved conversatios in cars, real life dialogues, and many more similar stuff just like his other films and shortfilms. After 20 minutes of not so interesting introductions of characters, the movie starts to get entertaining and never looks back.

This is a very different story from regular films, I call this one week films where story starts and ends in a week within the film.

I wish the shots character could have been explored more by the director as he was bringing in alot of comedy and even his tagline is "I want problems", which makes him put himself in problems. Most of the comedy used in the film is situational comedy and Brahmanandam was presented well like a regular old man.

Lastly this is a must watch and more power to Tharun Bhascker.

Tharun Bhaskar's style of movies.
revparu4 November 2023
Director Tharun Bhasker's greatest accomplishment is his never-ending drive to advance Telugu cinema from a technical standpoint.

It all started with Pelli Choopulu, and continued strongly with ENE. And now in Keeda Kola.

The color grading, cinematography, editing feel so familiar and instantly relatable. It's something only a few directors can pull off.

I have nothing much to say about the story or the screenplay itself. It's not memorable, just entertaining.

You can have a good time. But it's definitely not something that stands out, as it is with his previous two feature films.

Tharun has set a benchmark for indie, buddy comedy movies and he continues to surprise everyone with his casting decisions.

Cringe comedy
giribhushansvg3 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I am sorry to say this but I am disappointed with Director Tharun. Its a cringe comedy with no substance and waste of talent.

The screenplay does't have grip and lots of flaws, it runs out of laughs after a point and audience struggle to find funny dialogues.

Doll's simulator scenes are bad and its below the belt comedy.

There isn't much of a plot. Individual episodes are not enjoyable. When a wannabe corporator wants to prove his worth, the corporator makes a banner with the wannabe's photo at his groin, which is pretty hilarious.

Vivek Sagar's music is mainly focused on the background score. It has all the elements that one usually associates with his scores.

The climax is disappointing.

A horrible script that surely will not impress the viewer
shekbhi9 November 2023
The movie is boring from beginning to end and none of the comedy elements are no where close to what was promised by the production team. This is a total failure by the cast and director. I'm very surprised that having Brahmanandam garu in the movie didn't add any comic element and was very boring. I won't recommend watching this movie. It's a total waste of time and money.

Tarun Bhasker seems to have gotten too audacious in making such a low quality film to only present it to viewers. Though he claims that the movie was made with meticulous planning, he needs to understand that not all his movies will be received like the ones before.

One of the Worst Movies I watched
tonyanand-5927917 January 2024
This was one of the worst movies I watched, totally a waste of time , The was no story and no go good plot , it was so cringy comedy , only some comedy timing was good , first half was so lag and second half ends before it starts , I don't know how it was 8.1 in IMDb. I don't recommend you to watch this movie , they tried to combine a avg story with a comedy like Eee Nagaraniki emm aiiyndhi or mark Anthony , but totally failed and the climax is the worst , second half beginning was kinda good and I thought they took up the story from second half but the second half ended immediately and I gave 3 starts because of the comedy in second half .
