    A well crafted film with raw emotions enacted by newbies

    C/o kancharapalem is a well crafted movie by debut director Maha ventatesh with nuance emotions in its exposition set under realistic environment .Music is simply plain and as the movie proceeds with situations you can feel it. Dialogs are written in simple and crispy language to suit the tone of local language of kacharpalem with all fresh untrained actors doing a fine job. Story/plot is something which you guys have to experience yourself before someone reveals.First 10 to 15 minutes into the movie you get connected with characters and there are humor scenes (lol) associated with it throughout the film. A film never to be missed for itzz honest making efforts by all newbies like all cast and crew. Kudos to suresh production for bringing the movie to theatres. Final a word of advice watch it in theatres for experiencing a soulful film.

    Overwhelming experience.A Gem of telugu cinema.

    I was having a lot of positive thoughts and expectations on this film, since it looked fresh and with rana backing it up and also my short film friend did a small role in this. I was excited, staying in mumbai it's hard for telugu films to release or release in wide scale , had a person who was willing to come , so it became easy and watching movie , the first 10 min itself i was mesmerized by the naturality and realistic way of taking.Movie is fully emotional, it makes you laugh and cry and finally leave you astonished at the end. You'll remember the characters all along the way back home, even now Iam not able to get through the movie's hangover. It has been 2 days , but it will be long before it to fade away. My final word is , this is a never before and never again kind of movie, so don't miss out in theatres. Proud time for telugu Cinema.

    The soul of Indian cinema shines through C/o Kancharapalem!

    C/O Kancharapalem is a beautifully told tale about the highs and lows of love in a small remote Indian village. From the very first frame, you cannot help but be drawn into this charming world and fall in love with the characters with all their endearing quirks and frailties. It is even more surprising to learn that none of the lead characters in the film were trained actors. This is truly a testament to up and coming director Maha Venkatesh who has masterfully directed this ode to love with a poetic elegance. The music of the film stays with you long after the final credits roll. This is Indian cinema at its simplest and finest.

    One of the best movies I have ever seen

    I have seen about 4000 movies in my life. And this is one of the best that I have ever seen. It is one of the most satisfying endings. Probably in the top 10 or 20 of all time. What a phenomenal love story. I saw it in Telugu with English subtitles. I don't speak Telugu. Have never been to Andhra or Telangana. But I connected with every single character in this movie. Their fate and their tragedies really affected me. But the ending had my crying tears of joy. No, more than that - tears of humanity. One of the best films ever. This should be seen by the world.

    Epic drama.

    Description: "C/o Kancherapalem" is a film of various love tales set in four different generation people, in which the characteristic point is, all these stories are happening in a typical village called Kancherapalem (Although it is a part of the city Vizag, director portrayed it like a village). However, the main focus is on the drama between Raju, a 49 years old attender in a government office and Radha, a 42 years old middle-aged woman got transferred from Orissa to the same office. The protagonist Raju is unmarried due to some personal problems, because of which the whole village irritates him by continually asking about his wedding, and even mock him for being the bachelor. Radha is a widow with an adolescent daughter.

    Analysis: Not even a single artist is known to us, but the director got triumphed enough in obtaining the required performances out of them. Every actor has done their job well. However, it is Mr. Subba Rao, who played the character "Raju" got a meaty role, and he is quite natural in it. With the few initial shots, the director set the right mood in audiences' minds and prepares us to witness a beautiful village drama. Although it is a compilation of many love stories, the director did not talk only about love but also discussed the crooked, narrow mindset of a typical human being in our current society. The themes of the stories are not entirely new, and we saw many of them in several other films. But the presentation is quite interesting in setting up the tale. Every single shot is made in natural light, and the freshness has lasted throughout the movie. Camara work is authentic, and editing is the colossal strength of the film. Music is another department which needs a proper appreciation for an adequate background score, and village folk songs. One may feel that the initial portions of the film are dragged a bit, but I think it is necessary to establish the four stories. Once the stage is set, the director takes us into the village Kancherapalem and makes us involved in this lovely drama. As the film progresses towards the end, the stories turn quite engaging with many scary situations. Finally, the twist which glues everything together is an epic conclusion that one can give. Considering the budget constraints, and the challenges in making this flick, I'd say this is a fantastic output that a new director can get. Mr. Venkatesh Maha, I could not appreciate you enough for making this beautiful flick, and I thank all the members of the crew for this remarkable drama.
