Majili follows the life of Poorna, a boy who loves cricket. He unfortunately gets involved with the wrong people while trying to secure his spot on a cricket team, they bribe officials to have their team win and sell Poorna's batting skills to the highest bidder. However at the same time Poorna meets a girl Anshu who he falls head over heels in love with, she also loves him back and for a while things are good.
The leader or head of the gang that Poorna has fallen in with at least when it comes to betting and bribing is Bhushan. When he sees Purna's girlfriend Anshu he tries to force himself on her, Purna fights Bhushan and his men off and he and Anshu escape.
Unfortunately things go downhill from here with Bhushan getting to Anshu's parents first and spinning a story about Poorna seducing Anshu and trying to kidnap her etc. Anshu's father hires some of Bhushans thugs to rough Poorna up but Bhushan tells them to kill him instead. Anshu saves him fron death there but her father moves away after that taking her with and forcing her to get married to someone she doesn't love. Poorna forgets about cricket and spends the next 10 or so years drinking and feeling sorry for himself. However his neighbor Sravani whose loved him forever has her father put forward a marriage proposal which Poorna accepts for his fathers happiness.
I'm not going to narrate the rest of the movie for you, but I will say that he doesn't love his wife Sravani for a long, long time until he is lifted out of his drunken stupor by the chance to coach Anshu's daughter. Anshu has passed away and her father has now apologized to Poorna. Things start looking up slowly from here and Poorna realizes that while Anshu will always have a place in his heart, Sravani has loved him forever, drinking, joblessness and all. His never said a kind or loving word to her since they got married but she has still loved him unconditionally and been there for him no matter what.
As you can see by the absolute essay I just wrote, the story for Majili is really great, interesting and will have you sitting at the edge of your seat throughout the film.
The acting is absolutely top notch, Divyansha Kaushik does a good job as Anshu and Naga Chaitanya gives me Yash vibes from K. G. F at some points, while also handling the more emotional scenes superbly. Ananya Agarwal who plays Anshu's daughter does a great job alongside her adult co-stars. Samantha Ruth Prabhu looks beautiful as always and continues to stun the audience with her dazzling looks and superb acting skills. A very well rounded cast with superb acting from all. The music and visuals are lovely and tops off the movie well.
All in all Majili is a brilliant Telugu language film; It has it all, from a strong, interesting storyline to a amazingly talented and stunning cast along with lovely music and visuals. A very well deserved 9/10 from me!
P. S. The only criticism I have is the first half felt a bit to long, I would have preferred if Sravani had more screen time and Anshu a bit less. As it is the second half feels just ever so slightly rushed; would have been better to introduce Sravani a little earlier and start on her story with Poorna a bit earlier as well, so we get a bit more about the two of them, especially at the end where the film ends with them at the train station. I really want to know what happened next xD.
P. P. S. Poorna was so blind for so long, to miss just how much his wife loved him. Get me a girl like Sravani and I'll happily marry her, no arguments or anything. It's a rare thing in today's world to find someone who will love and care for you no matter what. No hate towards Anshu, but I feel that Sravani is the right girl for Poorna, and any other guy out there lucky enough to have a girl like her love him.
