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.

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.

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.

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.

Though it came in the early 2000s, this film is still very entertaining to this day, which is one of the reasons why this film has cemented itself as an all-time classic in the hearts of Telugu movie fans. Along with a plot, this film also has a solid cast with King Nagarjuna and Sonali Bendre being in the lead. Brahmanandam, Tanikella Barani, and the other supporting cast also add onto the plot while making the viewer laugh with the iconic comedy. An overall 10/10 film, this movie nails it. 10/10 Stars.
