9/10
Fun, family entertainer

Not for everyone. But for people who likes over the top comedy and family drama it's a great watch.

Plot: After the death of his sister, Venky mama (Venkatesh) takes in his nephew Karthik (Akkineni) and raises him as his son. Now 24, Karthik decides to find a good match for his uncle's marriage and Venky mama tries to reunite Karthik with his ex-girlfriend (Raashi). Comedy ensues.

This is a light hearted-comedy film for the most parts. There is only 3 action scenes and they are short. There are few emotional scenes nothing major except for the climax at the end. The film revolves around the 'fate vs our choices' concept.

The comedy has worked well. The first half has lots of comedy scenes and I liked most of them. Venkatesh has done an amazing job. He looks good in his Venky Mama avatar. Akkineni was good in the comedy scenes. The film has lots of star power. Everyone has done well but Venkatesh, Raashi Khanna and Prakash Raj overshadows them all. Raashi Khanna was electric with her performance, had lots of energy and looked like she was having fun. Prakash Raj was superb in his army look. Venkatesh showed a great range of emotions here, loved his work. The chemistry between Venkatesh and Akkineni was great as well.

The film looks beautiful. Most of it was shot in a village and the scenery was well portrayed. The songs were well shot as well. The action sequences right before the interval was superb. It was also one of the interesting moments of the film. The action scenes later on did not have much impact on me.

This is a fun, family entertainer. There was a lot of potential to make it even better. I had great time watching this and as the credit rolled I noticed the lingering smile on my face. This is a feel good movie, a wonderful choice to watch with the family.
