Interesting Facts:

Team learned marketing strategy from Adivi Sesh for paid premieres, they put at least 28-30 premiere shows across the Telugu states for word of mouth talk
Director Shamukha worked as an AD for Color Photo and writer for Family Drama and knew Suhas through that, and narrated the story to him, 20 mins narration to Anurag Reddy producer and he greenlit it, then a zoom call with Sharath Chandra and Chandru
The climax was written first and the entire script was written around it.
Story was written keeping Suhas’s strengths in mind, body language etc,
Movie was filmed in Vijayawada
Made on a budget of 3 crores and already made 10 crores gross, biggest low budget success in recent times.

Performances: Suhas, Rohini, Adhish Vidyarthi, and guy who plays his friend were excellent,

Writing/Direction: excellent but movie slows down completely during the 2nd half and only picks up during the last 20 mins. Climax is ultimate. Couldn’t stop crying and it’s a great message to society and everything else. Love Rohini Garu so much in movies like Chi La Sow, Rangasthalam, Sita Ramam, Virumaandi, and Ala Modalaindi.

Overall: heart touching, emotional, relatable, and funny, go and watch it, Beautiful family entertainer and these are the types of movies we need to support and watch if we want to grow as an industry.
