Tulasi garu OMG what a comedy timing and what an action. Sangeeth Shoban decent performance, good screenplay and Niharika production values all mixed together for this series. Finally it's a pleasant fell to audience.

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil/Telugu Source: ZEE5 RECOMMENDED

This is good time pass serial and also can be watched with family. Watched the Tamil dubber version, still it holds the attention. The first episode was bit templated one and starts with routine characters.

Then it starts to pick up quickly after that. Except that 25Lakhs loan mystery, all other things are seen in other movies. But they maintained the good pace of story telling on each episode.

Especially the ending and and finishing episodes are fun to watch. Dont check for logic, this is just a average family entertainer with some feel good ending.

A small feel good series with comedy and an emotional ending. Loved it.

Very good work by director mahesh uppala and all the cast in series especially Tulasi(mother) and Sangeeth shoban(hero).

Really enjoyed full series and emotional ending life of middle class and low class people are been highlighted over all good with love story and looking forward for some comedy.

At last get emotional the story and the comedy are just awesome 👍 unlucky it release in series Another wise it release in theaters 🎥 it get blockbuster Worth it watch 10/10 Every one sink story of every 🏠house.

I watched the Tamil audio (Oru Chinna Family Story) of this orig. Telugu series on Zee5 though I usually prefer the orig. Language audio, because Zee5 subtitling is sometimes on sometimes off and I can follow Tamil without subs!

OCFS is a slice of life, heart warming narration with large dollops of amusement, sometimes black humour thrown in. The plot is smoothly carried by the outstanding acting especially Tulasi's brilliant portrayal of Rukmini as the simple minded devoted mother of Mahesh (Sangeeth Shobhan who also does an excellent job). Rukmini's mother, Mahesh' Paati or as he rather coarsely refers to her as Kizhavi (old woman) is beautifully rendered by Prameela Rani. To be fair, every actor was superb in his/her role.

The sets are a realistic lower middle class home in a Telugu speaking small town (haha got to be politically correct these days with AP/TS).

Rukmini has molly coddled her only child Mahesh from the day he was born and spoilt him rotten. The father tries his best to instil some sense of responsibility in Mahesh but to no avail as Rukmini always allows the child to get away with whatever he does. Mahesh is therefore an idle, spoilt youth barely passing high school and fails to clear his B. Tech. He doesnt even bother to get a job. Rukmini always annoyingly offers to make payasam for Mahesh as a panacea for all problems. The Paati is obsessed with her TV serials and in getting a new remote. She is very amusing with her pithy comments.

One fine day the father suddenly dies. Mahesh starts getting repeated phone calls from loan recovery agents to pay the EMI on his father's loan of 25 lac which the family was not even aware of. News spreads and rumours circulate in the colony about Mahesh's father having a possible "2nd SetUp", a euphemism for a second family unbeknown to Rukmini.

The loan hounds become aggressive and Rukmini is at her wits end. Eventually Mahesh befriends one of them (Getup Srinu) as Anna who takes pity on him and gets him a job at the loan recovery call centre.

Dont want to add Spoilers, do watch this series of 5 episodes if you havent already, it really is enjoyable with lots of humour, realistic situations, poignant moments et al.

This one is actually pretty good, but in parts. The writing could have been better. Most of the actors did a good job and they keep you interested. One thing I don't understand though is - why do makers of telugu movies, web series, TV series feel the compulsion to make the actors speak in Telangana dialect when they actually can't? It sounds so pretentious and inorganic.

Well portrayed and entertaining throughout. Great acting by the entire cast especially Sangeeth Shobhan, Tulasi and getup sreenu. Sangeeth Shobhan is new but seems very promising. Great acting.

As the episodes go..there will beore emotion..and it will melt ur heart..such a heart warming web series..well written with comedy fully blended..SUPER.

Does not sound like new cast, the lead role son of yesteryears director is always amazing to watch, have seen his earlier movies too, he just started his career and he will reach heights...

and actor tulasi garu has really really proved her experience once again, such a natural actress and naresh garu very well supported....

overall such a sweet movie / web series.....

enough of high budget over hyped movies...

A small but very good comedy web series with a very emotional ending, Just loved it. Perfectly showcases the problems of the middle class families of India. Good romance and title song. Don't watch it while eating lol.
