genuine comedy turned into parody
dheemanth1120 March 2021
Being the first film I was watching in the theaters after Covid hit and having listened to chitti song multiple times, had huge expectations for it. The movie began with the promise to deliver but soon went on through a slippery slope and never recovered. The story line never gravitated to anything and in defense of the storyteller, they probably never intended it to. Overall, if you have the stomach for nonsensical fun by watching a bunch of quality youtube bits put together and performed by guys who can really time them, this is for you.

PS: Naveen is a star in the making. He is smart and capable. And Telugu film has a huge void for somebody like him to star comedy, light-heated, story oriented movies. The legendary Rajendra Prasad will gladly pass on his baton.

Jatiratnalu
vadugulapavan11 March 2021
Only for Naveen Ploishetty( thanks me later ) First half was too good , comedy punches were hilarious. Second half was not to the expectations, the end was very bad and screenplay not soo good. Totally one time watch.

It's more of a skit than a film. Failed opportunity
rohitreviews13 March 2021
The comedy do have a way to tickle and even performance by each one is good, but the story doesn't have any strength. They should have worked on the story more in depth. The trailer definitely has those quirky elements to draw your attention expecting something really worth to watch, but since it doesn't have any character arc or story arc it sort of picks up at many places but fails in each time. It felt like it was written in no sequence or idea of what's going on. It's more just written on what comedy skit can be made in this situation kind off. So only I call it Failed opportunity.

No Story in the movie
udaykiran-9633811 March 2021
There is no story in the movie. Comedy is good but the most of the comedy scenes are illogical. It is frustrating to watch those illogical scenes. Second half is very boring.

Extremely funny movie, don't go looking for plot just meta humor
riteshshergill18 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
If you are expecting a poignant and riveting narrative then you would be watching the wrong movie. If you are looking to laugh and enjoy yourself and think you can get most of the jokes then you are going to love it. I quite love and appreciate the fact that at no point does the movie take itself seriously and neither is the viewer supposed to. The jokes are clever, not all of them are good but where they land, they will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

This movie is a satire on how everything is becoming weird these days - right is wrong and wrong is right. When there is a murder attempt on a 'corrupt' politician's life, three friends from a small village who are struggling to make it in the big city become the prime suspects. (The plot isn't important btw). In their search for evidence to prove their innocence some downright hilarious shenanigans ensue. The end is the least of the what you would expect. Instead of a hard hitting message, the movie replaces it with inane dialog that has the desired effect as is the case in today's day and age.

The trio's innocence is proven in the most silliest of ways imaginable and that there is the beauty of this movie.

DO not miss it for anything. Haven't laughed this hard since 'Hera Pheri'.

Ticking down the expectations
vskumarbh16 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Movie might look funny with sporadic jokes out of flow of artistic talents of 3 musketeers.. and their efforts to grab the attention has been satisfying to some extent.

But it must be noted that, screenplay, storytelling and Silver lining the theme of Movie (OR) rather say presenting director's product as Movie., is an absolute disaster.

Naveen Polisetty has benchmarked his Talent from his previous hit, and critics for this movie is an absolute Director cup to handle.

Overrated
vamsisiddani8 April 2021
20% jokes are honestly good, but the rest are cringe and made me take back the little appreciation I gave. Not worthy to watch in theatres, OTT platforms are more than enough for this movie.

Best entertaining film of 2021
superbrat-6008017 April 2021
What an awesome movie!!!! Watch this movie with your friends and family this weekend. You will not regret it. You will have a smile throughout! 2.5hrs well spent laughing. Now I understand why the movie has made 70 crores! This movie is out and out comedy, us Telugu people love comedy, no wonder we made it a hit film. People who are writing these below average reviews are not making sense to me; don't be sour grapes trying to bring down the success of this film and actors like Naveen. Especially when he is an outsider from a middle class family! We all should support talent like this and such films. Let's not run down talent like this and films like these with stupid comments. I became a big fan of Naveen Polishetty, Rahul Ramakrishna and Faria Abdullah. Anudeep and Nag Ashwin thanks for giving us such a clean comedy, fun family entertainer!

Epic non sensible comedy movie
rambedaka3 June 2021
I was very much interested to see the movie after watching chitti song on YouTube several times. Movie starts with the hope to deliver the same comedy sensation till end but in the middle it lost its connection & so many overacting non sense comedy scenes.

Hat's off to Naveen Polishettys acting. Overall a good entertainment.

Not funny
vivekk-rdd12 April 2021
I'm all in for brainless comedies. I really enjoy them if I actually laugh for the jokes. But I didn't even smile for 80% of the movie.

Laugh Riot!!
sriramthestranger18 April 2021
One of the best movies with absolutely no logic and complete absurdity. Naveen Polishetty and the three leads completely take away any logical thinking of the audience with their acting and humor. Definitely, must watch!!

Review by non Telugu
saliim-mohammed6 June 2021
Overall a good watch but feels like its overrated. The best thing I found was Naveen's hilarious acting, before I had seen him in Chhichhore where he did left his marks and his role was appreciated by the masses. The movie actually deserves 4/10 but only because of Naveen I rated it 6. Its just an average one time watch.

Overrated n overhyped,
abhisheksarkar90111 April 2021
It's an average no Brainer comedy film that doesn't really deserve the craze it is getting. And maybe that's what is its biggest letdown. Had it not been super hyped it would have been still watchable. But when the expectation is so high due it's rave reviews, watching the film made me utterly disappointed.

Overhyped and illogical comedy
ramechin20 March 2021
Silly, illogical and incoherent comedy. Not worth the hype it's generating.

Fantastic Comedy !!! A must watch
SailuRani17 April 2021
Been craving to watch a decent comedy movie. My family thoroughly enjoyed this movie. After a long time, I am seeing a movie where the comedy is clean, decent yet so funny. I loved that there is no sleaziness and the fact that the love story between the lead pair is so cute and real unlike the girl falling all over the guy or vice versa and disrespecting her. Naveen is the next superstar of Tollywood! What a fantastic actor, his comedy timing is great one of the best. The chemistry between Naveen, Rahul and Darshi is so good. Movie is a real Jatiratnam!

Watch for its humour
rish200625 March 2021
The story is not unique and different - it's just about 3 friends who get trapped into a situation where they want freedom from it <- movies like this have been made earlier. Overall, it's a one time watch, mainly for its good flow of humour and acting.

A lot of hype and a lot of disappointment
dannymcoc11 April 2021
Based on the trailer I was excited about this movie and I was disappointed to say the least.

The best funny bits were assembled into the trailer and rest of the movie, calling it funny is a stretch. Story does not make any sense, the basis of each character is weak and the plot is awful. Every turn I was hoping for the movie to pick up and my hopes were dashed further.

Screenplay lacks any strength and despite the best efforts I could not sit through the entire movie. My only solace is I did not pay any money to watch it in the theatre otherwise I would have asked for a refund.

An alternate way to describe this movie is a series of sketches which do not gel together. Its an incomplete product that was released too soon with too much fan fare.

When I watched Andaz Apna Apna, Hera Pheri, Sudigadu, and other movies from the great Jandhyala I had a stomachache and I could not wait to watch them over and over again.

One star is being too generous.

An Enjoyable Comedy Purely Relying On Its Epic Cast
AnirudhGod16 March 2021
The film is real feast of laughs, as you will really enjoy what the film has to offer in terms of really well-written and enjoyable slapstick comedy. The performances of the cast, especially Naveen Polishetty, is brilliant! I loved each and every minute of the guy, and am very eager to see what he brings to the table next. Also, the film has an interesting subtext about being proud of your own work and belonging, rather than aspiring for something superficial and shallow. A must watch.
