Writing/Direction: Honestly speaking, this is a perfect movie that reminds you of the good old Telugu movies we grew up watching. The writing is so good such that there is entertainment in each and every scene and there is not a single boring moment in the entire film. Writing is masterpiece for me. This is how you write and make a film anipinchindi.
Story analysis wise, its very simple. A woman due to the abandonment issues and trauma suffered a child wants some companionship after her mother dies and wants to get impregnated.
This storyline has been shown in many movies like Naruda Donaruda, Ante Sundaraniki, basically there have been movies stories like this and the problem has always been with the treatment of the movie. It’s either cringe max or full on double meaning comedy and it lacks emotional connectivity and entertainment.
This is where this movie succeeds. It has 0 cringe, full clean entertainment and by casting two incredible actors, the movie just flies by.
Naveen and Anushkha chemistry is very good and the conflicts and characterizations are perfect. To be honest romantic comedies work on two things: chemistry between the leads and entertainment. This movie has both in full doses.
Sidhhu character is so relatable because he’s basically an introvert and ammayi gives him hand when she helped him withe everything in pursuing his dreams and giving him confidence. Who wouldn’t fall for somebody. It’s natural and its relatable because I have been through that and trust me it does happen.
Entertainment part right from when Naveen entry scene, hospital scenes,. Abhinav gomatam scenes, finding out about new donor scenes. Especially when hospital scene he’s asked for a semen sample and he thinks it’s a large bottle, he says nenu manishina gurram na.
Emotional part is also superb. Jayasudha scenes, ending scenes, Anuksha confession scene, most of all there’s a scene between Naveen and Murali Sharma. It was heart touching because the father who always berates his son accepts that he wants to be a stand up comedian and is trying and then understands his son wants Anvitha. He tells him one thing naaku Nuvvu kavali Annav kaani, neeku nenu vunnanu ani cheppava? Velli thanu nammakani gelavadam kosam fight cheyyi.
Most heart touching dialogue is Okka Chinna request, repu neeku papa babu puttina taravatha vaadu nannu yevado ani adigithe yevariki yeliyani oka sperm donor Kakunda, value Ammani preminchina manishi ani cheppu.
And each and every character is very good.
Direction by mahesh Babu P is perfect. To make a movie without a single boring moment and entertain people for 2.5 hours in 2023 is an impossible task and like that director told, I have also become his fan. Outstanding direction and writing.
Climax felt a little dragged but I already loved the movie then Shankar Mahadevan song came and then it was icing on the cake. Goosebumps final song and been on repeat ever since.
It’s a feel good movie and just so well made. Full credit to the director and entire team for making such an entertaining movie.
When I walked out I felt very emotional because it made me believe that Telugu cinema is still alive and capable of making great movies. My big problem is why can;’t we do it week in week out? Why is it only only once in a while and every other week we sit and wonder why every movie is so badly made and where to go from here.
