Manmadhudu

This is the first Telugu film I have seen, and although I am only beginning to learn the language, it was easy to follow this well-paced story.

Reminiscent of plays by Sheridan or Moliere, the screenplay was hilarious and friendly, and the sensitive touches would make it a good date movie. The punch-line ending was a great way to top off this misadventure.

Worth renting.

"Manmadhudu" is a delightful romantic comedy that charms with its witty humor and endearing characters. Directed by K. Vijaya Bhaskar, the film stars Nagarjuna Akkineni as the charismatic and commitment-phobic protagonist. The storyline revolves around his aversion to marriage and his comical attempts to deter potential suitors, all while navigating his feelings for the independent and strong-willed Anshu, played by Sonali Bendre. The film strikes a perfect balance between comedy and romance, with Nagarjuna's impeccable comic timing and chemistry with the cast, including the talented Anshu and the hilarious Brahmanandam, standing out. The music by Devi Sri Prasad complements the narrative beautifully, enhancing the film's charm. Overall, "Manmadhudu" is a feel-good entertainer that remains a favorite among Telugu cinema enthusiasts for its engaging plot, memorable performances, and timeless appeal.

I think this is one of those really good movies that doesn't rely on crazy gimmicks to evoke laughter. However it finally does resort to the standard Nag style of one woman in the past and one in the present. A malyali friend of mine who happened to see this movie and then 'Mass' and then 'Super' was quite shocked that Nag had to have 2 heroines every time!! No but seriously. I thought it was REALLY hilarious. Sonali is looking ravishing as ever. Nag did display a li'l bit of acting. Bramhanandam and T.Bharani awesome acting as usual. I personally think Anshu(past heroine ;)) was hopeless. She cant act. All she did was expose. She is supposed to be from some small town. I swear I have never seen any town girl dressed like that.Watch it with the entire family u will need someone to hold onto you when u laugh.

If i had to comment about this movie, my first words would be about dharma varapu subramanyam. His part, though it was short, made me watch the movie one more time. Brahmanandam's part, it says "watch me baby one more time..!" . Nagarjun's part of cracking their jokes is on top. All together vijay bhaskar delivered one perfect comedy with little but stronger love story. The good part of the movie is the way it goes while the hero does both comedy and tragedy parts, we don't even notice the changes.

The delivery of the transmitters is the best part. The tour to parris is another must watch.

Direction-- great, writing-- outstandingly good, acting-- excellent, Music-- excellent, cinematography-- excellent, editing-- great, art direction-- good, makeup and costumes-- good. Overall a masterpiece from comically genius duo Trivikram and vijay bhaskar supported by brilliant performances from all cast.
