This movie contains that pure telugu flavour which has been absent from its contemporaries.This is reflected in the way the characters speak, the way we people are in buses, which is primarily how we travel to our hometwons, listening to chaganti pravachanam in the morning, all of these are common to us, and this creates a sense of belonging and nostalgia. I was so immediately and deeply drawn to it, that I felt the intermission came too fast. The music is still haunting in my mind, and helped elevate the mood of the movie to a new level. The comedy was the highlight, since telugu cinema is incomplete without it. The comic timing and delivery of vijay, vennela kishore, rahul was fantastic. Special mention to vennela kishore who is an absolute delight, and caused heavy doses of laughter, coupled with rahul ramakrishna who was on point. What I noticed about Vijay after watching him in a movie for the third time, which makes him distinct from his contemporaries is that, he doesn't sugarcoat his character's feelings. Whatever he is feeling, be it frustration, scared that he has to hide something big from his dad his whole life, regret, reverence for the wife of his dreams, whatever it might be, it is tangible. I felt everything that he is feeling, and from his point of view. I forgot that he's an actor playing a character in a movie, I only see the character and his feelings. There is not even a hint of fakeness in what he does. The way Vijay owns whatever he does is admirable, and this has only become clear to me after watching him for a while, since he does it every time, which is commendable. I am so happy that we have such an actor, who is an absolute treat to watch. Thank you for showing us great cinema and making my family laugh. :D
