"The Story sings a lullaby like a mother, gives courage like a father, fun like a friend, gives knowledge like a teacher. In one word, The Story introduces you to the world".

Another gem that deserves all the eyes. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching to the core. Literally cried 4-5 times, like a river flowing down my face. Sumanth became one of my favourite actors with Malli Raava (though I've watched him/his films since childhood), especially for his subtlety, and yet again he proves himself with this performance that how subtle, how good of an actor he is and how underrated and underutilised he is. Looking back at his filmography now, I realise that he has always tried something new, something different, and something good.

Beautiful music, beautiful visuals, beautiful characters, beautiful dialogues, beautiful emotions, and beautiful performances, for this beautiful film. Loved that song (both visually and audibly) where he and his son visit the beach, with the ocean in front of them and an ocean full of emotions inside them. The film is this beautiful to me, not just for all these points, but also for the point it is trying to make, the story it is trying to tell, the good it is trying to do for us, and the change it is trying to bring.

This film, at its core, appears to be a profound exploration of the human condition. From the outset, it draws you into a world populated by characters grappling with relatable struggles, their journeys unfolding with a delicate balance of vulnerability and resilience. The narrative, even without specific plot points, feels like a carefully woven tapestry, where each scene contributes to a larger, thematic resonance.

The performances are noteworthy, with the actors seemingly embodying their roles with a nuanced understanding of the emotional landscape. Their portrayals bring a palpable authenticity to the story, allowing the audience to connect with their joys, sorrows, and the myriad of complexities that lie between.

Visually, the film seems to employ a distinct aesthetic that serves to enhance the storytelling. Whether through sweeping landscapes or intimate close-ups, the cinematography appears to be a character in itself, adding layers of meaning and atmosphere. The pacing allows for moments of quiet reflection, interspersed with sequences that propel the narrative forward with a compelling rhythm.

While the specifics of the plot remain unseen, the film's strength lies in its ability to evoke universal emotions and spark introspection. It seems to delve into themes of connection, loss, identity, or perhaps the search for meaning in a world that often feels both vast and intimately personal.

Ultimately, this film promises to be an experience that lingers long after the credits roll, prompting contemplation and offering a fresh perspective on the intricacies of life. It's a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the shared human experience.

This movie takes you on an emotional ride. Great narrative balance and connection between the father-son duo, and addressing gaps in our educational system.

Sumanth's calm demeanor is apt for Vyas's character, and Master Viharsh, as the son, is terrific too. The rest of the cast is good. The movie is very engaging, except for the first 10 minutes.

Director Sunny Sanjay, This is the most emotional connection I've had with a Telugu film in recent times. Dialogues supported the story well. I will be cheering for you in your upcoming projects. All the best.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Anaganaga....

Amazing movie. Narration was perfect.

Highlights:

• A well-meaning story delivered with elegance
• Sumanth shines with a restrained and heartfelt performance
• Strong technical finesse, with standout music and visuals

While the emotional core of the film lies in its family drama, the subplot involving a rebellious, trailblazing teacher challenging a private school feels less convincing. Some writing choices come off as a bit inexperienced, but the overall execution is unexpectedly polished. The director skillfully advances the narrative with sharp visuals, tight scenes, and strong performances from the cast.

A nice story of father and son.

Must watch with kids.

Such a neat and clean movie.

The title music was so good to hear.

"In general, I don't usually give any feedback or comments, but for this movie, I felt compelled to share my thoughts with the Anaganaga team. This movie touched my heart deeply and made me cry in almost every scene-especially in the second half, which was truly emotional and unforgettable. The storytelling, performances, and emotions were so real and relatable. I genuinely loved it, and I believe every parent and child must watch this film together. It's a beautiful reminder of the bond we often take for granted. Movies like this deserve to be made more often. Thank you to the Anaganaga team for giving us such a meaningful and heartwarming film. You've created something truly special.
