#Single

Single (2025) : Movie Review -

Single, also referred to as #Single, is silly on many occasions, but never loses its grip on the comedic platter. The film, however illogical it may be in its storytelling, gains momentum through numerous pop culture moments that every cinema lover would enjoy. From Pushpa 2, Geetanjali, Premalu, Prema song, Prabhas, Salman Khan, Adhi Da Surprisu (yes, when Ketika Sharma is there), and whatnot-it serves maximum pop culture references for cine buffs. It's a dated story elevated by highly clever parodic moments.

Single follows the story of a single guy, Vijay (Sree Vishnu), who is desperate to mingle. He spots Purva (Ketika Sharma) and instantly falls in love. To get her attention, he poses as a customer at her showroom. During one of his stunts to impress Purva, he accidentally saves Harini (Ivana), who instantly falls for him. In short, Vijay is chasing Purva, who barely notices him, while Harini is chasing Vijay, who is oblivious to her affection. Who will end up with whom?

Single is a love triangle, and naturally, it's messy. Love triangles are always messy-unless you go the intellectual route like Casablanca (1942) or Thoovanathumbikal (1987). Single falls into the usual trap and becomes illogical at times. Why would a guy go to such lengths for a girl who clearly doesn't care for him? And why would another girl chase a guy who's chasing someone else? That's not mature-and ironically, Vijay, behaving immaturely and foolishly, keeps calling himself a mature man. That's terrible writing. Thankfully, there's so much fun and comedy that you overlook these flaws. The screenplay keeps things moving, nailing the comic elements-from parody and modern jokes to double meanings and social media memes about single boys. The wedding scene at the end is an absolute blast. The guy chasing one girl ends up surrounded by exes and then walks off to Prema song. You're going to love that.

Sree Vishnu is solid in the lead role, and Vennela Kishore aces his typical comic timing in every scene. Ketika Sharma looks simple and beautiful-nothing like her steamy avatar from Adhi Da Surprisu. Ivana is adorable and charming; her temple scene is going viral on social media, and it's easy to see why. VTV Ganesh gets a few low-brow gags and does okay, and the rest of the supporting cast is decent.

Caarthick Raju's direction isn't top-tier, but his vision as a screenplay writer delivers. The story falters at times, but he quickly picks up the scattered pieces to regain momentum. The film packs genuinely funny moments and is made specifically for single boys and girls who are familiar with pop culture riffs from the film industry. Watch it with a group of friends-it's more fun that way because someone (or everyone) will relate to at least one scene. The cinematography is decent, the music is average, and the editing keeps the narrative engaging. Watch it with your gang if you're okay with spoofy comedy without a solid script.

RATING - 6/10*

If ur looking for some free time to pass, and enjoy sometime with ur friends and family, u can give this a try.

Sree Vishnu performs as usual, a wonderful performance by him, delivers a grounded performance. V Kishore, there is no words which can describe his exceptional timing and expressions, he surely is tyhe ighlight of this film. The acting of the 1st female lead (not aware of her name) could have been better, Ivana on the other hand delivers a good performance.

Overall a film which could have been better. I personally had a good time watching it, the comedy was good and my family and me had a good time, surprisingly my Grandma who rarely watched films liked this movie. A good one time watch for some laughs, a solid 6.5 on 10.

It's a great movie with lot of comedy and sensible acting.... There are some stupids who wrote it's a school project, jokes didn't land, awful script and all ... Guys I think you have watched some other B grade movie instead of your eyes. Open your eyes wide or get them checked. If you don't like comedy genre ... Better go to some other blood bath, gravity defying, item dancing and over exposing movies.

Songs are okayish and second half is a bit boring compared to first. First half will be too funny and entertaining.

Kudos to Vishnu, vennela Kishore and director karthik. Their comedy timing and creative dialogues, meme references were too good and ivana did amazing job. Ketika acting was not upto mark and also her lip syncing of telugu is pretty bad.

Pathetic acting and comedy by Sree Vishnu. The story is painfully weak, filled with bizarre plotlines and cringeworthy dialogues. The film feels like it was directed without any plan-random scenes, poor pacing, and absolutely no emotional depth. Within the first 5 minutes, you're already irritated. The jokes don't land, the script is a mess, and the direction is shockingly lazy. It's hard to believe this was meant to be a movie and not a parody gone wrong. The entire experience feels like a waste of time, effort, and money. Save yourself the regret-skip this disaster and do something better with your time.

What the fish did I watch for 2 hours. My 4 year old niece will act 100 times better than the so called "king of entertainment" lead actor. What rubbish he has done through out the movie..!

Movie plot feel like someone drank 5 liters of alcohol and wrote the script. Only stand out thing in this movie is Vennala Kishore's acting.

Without him this movie is zero. Can't imagine people paid for this to see in the theater.

I can see few giving 10 star and praising this comedy and acting. I guess we understood what your standards / levels of movie watching you do. Movie's every second was predictable from miles away. As some one said this certainly feels like 8 year old's school project made to a movie.
