Miss. Shetty Mr. Polishetty

Anvitha is a MasterChef in UK, living with her ailing mother who wants her daughter to get married and settled in life, to ensure she doesn't lead a lonely life. Anvitha eventually visits India, in search for a sperm donor, as she believes a child is what she needs to fulfil her mother's wish. She approaches Siddu Polishetty, a stand up comedian to be her sperm donor. Only glitch is that Siddu has fallen in love with her and Anvitha has no intention of having Siddu or any man ss her life partner. With this twist, what happens to these two unlikely pair, is what this rom-com is all about.

It's a threadbare storyline which entirely relies on Naveen Polishetty's comic timing. The film starts off on a decent note, introducing Anushka Shetty's character and successfully establishes her storyline. From her personal loss to her need for opting for a child out of wedlock through artificial insemination. It is after the introduction of Naveen's character, the film becomes a lively watch as the scenes range from funny to outright hilarious ensuring the first half ends on a high note.

The second half, basically the third act which gets painfully stretched is what stops the film from reaching it's true potential. The second half too relies heavily on Naveen's comic timing and those scenes do actually work well. It is once the melodrama kicks in to drive the story to it's penultimate moments, the screenplay drags on and the weak songs do take a toll. A couple of emotional dialogues are actually good here especially the conversation between Naveen and Murali Sharma. More than the writing, it is the actors who carry the film till the end and with a crisper third act, this would've been a far better film.

My Summary: One of the feel-good movies ever made.

It felt like watching a feminist film since the males were being treated as objects by the protagonist.

But the overall film was really enjoyable mainly because of the male protagonist, I haven't seen any of this guy's films but in this one, with his characterization he made us laugh quite a lot which was supported by the situations as well and it also had a good mix of romance, emotions, comedy as well.

ChatGPT Summary: This movie stands out as one of the quintessential feel-good films ever made. It has the remarkable ability to leave viewers with a sense of warmth and positivity, making it an uplifting cinematic experience.

One notable aspect of the film is its portrayal of a feminist perspective. The protagonist's treatment of males as objects, reversing traditional gender roles, lends the film a distinct feminist undertone. This choice in character dynamics challenges conventional norms and expectations, offering a refreshing perspective that may resonate with audiences seeking a departure from traditional gender dynamics in cinema.

Despite its feminist undertones, the film's overall enjoyability is primarily attributed to the male protagonist. While you may not have seen any of this actor's previous work, his portrayal in this film is a standout. His character's charisma and humor add a delightful dimension to the story, eliciting laughter from the audience. The effectiveness of his characterization is further amplified by the humorous situations he finds himself in throughout the film.

The film's appeal doesn't stop at humor alone. It successfully combines elements of romance, emotion, and comedy, creating a well-rounded and engaging narrative. This multifaceted approach adds depth to the storytelling and allows viewers to connect with the characters on various emotional levels.

In conclusion, this film is undeniably one of the feel-good movies of all time. Its feminist perspective, where males are treated as objects by the protagonist, offers a unique and thought-provoking twist on traditional gender dynamics. However, the true charm of the film lies in the male protagonist's charismatic performance, which is both humorous and endearing. The movie's ability to blend romance, emotions, and comedy seamlessly contributes to its overall enjoyability, making it a delightful and well-rounded cinematic experience.

A simple heartfelt movie where both Anushka & Naveen effortlessly carry the movie with their stellar performances... Its great comeback for Anushka and she scores in every available frame that too 2nd half elevates her calibre... On the otherhand Naveen induces simplistic ideas with his timed swag & his energy level easily keep us entertained despite repeated idea of stand up comedy... Director mahesh makes u laugh many times and there by tried to play safe with carefully constructed organic love story... Good is not good enough Coffee mug IUI but DOCTOR why Are those few scenes where he proved his ability of writing ... Overall a neat package of family entertainment.

The story is great but unrealistic at times - an educated engineer from a bud city is still shown as someone who does nor know the actual procedure

Sticking to the comedy as primary genre would have made the movie a non stop comical goof - here it did become a predictable dramedy as it moved forward .

But overall , a great watch for a n attempt of novel concept being normalized !

Look forward to more such movies .

Anushka and Naveen have done Justice to Thier Characters! The songs were not great . BGM was great .

Bringing in veterans like Nasser , Jayasudha & Murali Sharma was fantastic ..

Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty released in 2023.

I actually wanted to watch this movie at the time of its release, but unfortunately, I didn't - mainly because some of my friends told me it was a disappointing film.

Yesterday, after finishing Aap Jaisa Koi, I asked ChatGPT to suggest a Telugu rom-com. It gave me a long list, but I had already seen most of them. That's when I decided to finally watch Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, going in with zero expectations since it was still on the list.

To my surprise, it turned out to be a good one!

Naveen Polishetty's comic timing was at its peak - he's truly the backbone of the film. The background score, cinematography, and production values were all solid. The debutant director handled the story very well, balancing emotions and humor nicely.
