      laugh riot

      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.

      Fantastic storyline

      "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.

      An Absolute Classic - MUST WATCH FILM

      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.

      A Complete Family Entertainer !

      Incontrovertibly one of the best movies in Telugu industry in complete sense - entertainment, music, lyrics and whatnot. Lyrics are simply the best i have heard in a decade. Hatsoff to Sirivennela. Nag's comedy breathes class while Sonali's grace adds quality. No comments about Anshu - good show by a budding artiste. Comedy from Brahmanandam, T.Bharani and others is also praiseworthy. Cinematography is not bad, apt to the storyline. Choreograpy...you cant expect better from Nag. Movie scores well at editing, screenplay and direction. Music by Devisri is simply superb, probably @ his pinnacle. Three Cheers to my FAVOURITE Sonail, Nag, and the movie. Highly recommended to watch. A family entertainer.
