Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam

When one watches the trailer they can see that Naresh has picked up another serious role after Naandi, and they also expect probably another movie preaching morals. While the subject is such, no long speeches are there. That is a relief and the message is subtle and not in your face screaming at you.

First half flows smoothly with a good mixture of comedy from Kishore and Praveen along with setting a tone for the movie's serious context. Interval has the necessary bang. The second half sustains the first half interest barring a few difficult to believe twists but they don't do any major damage to the momentum and interest built. Again without being overly preachy it closes off well at climax.

The mandatory romantic track feels force fit. Naresh is more subdued than Naandi but is superb. He once again proves comedic actors can easily transform to serious roles but not the other way.

It is worth watching with family, though the theme and message is for adults.
