Ante Sundharaniki

Ante Sundaraniki ... long plot, logically written, compressed beautifully into a fast narrative, and all actors leveraged to their hilt. 8/10 is a certainty, without doubt. The movie is not as comic as it is previewed to be because there are some serious moments you will be transported into, wishing what-if frequently, lending your critical mind to both the lead actors, living the movie, which is what prompts me to rate it 9/10. I may see it again, if I get hooked onto the songs. Nazriya and Nani can do more movies together - no chemistry - but have done their roles exceedingly well. A few actors unknown to me got an opportunity, good for them, and they have done very well. Vennela Kishore is not there, but still the movie has a few "rolling on the floor" scenes.

Must watch, in theatres, because the pace of the narrative requires a solid sound system.

Superb, full on entertainment, mixture of everything Comedy, romance and emotions , mind blowing acting by the cast and brilliant directing. Touched the heart and very relevant to our society. The movie depicts and demonstrates brilliantly how a couple will face hardship in a situation like this, where both don't belong to the same caste, religion, and we come across this our every day life. While including the right dosage of comedy and entertainment.

You got to see the movie to believe what can be done in Rom coms in Telugu movie industry. Really heart touching and fun . It keeps you on the edge while making you laugh aloud. Every person has done a amazing job of acting, well hats off to the director and story. Loved it.

Ante Sundaraniki translates to "seems Sundaram..." is a rom-com ,fun-filled ride,directed by Vivek Athreya, produced by Mythri Movie Makers and music scored by Vivek Sagar .Starring Nani as Sundar prasad and Nazriya as Leela Thomas in lead roles, supported by Naresh,Rohini, Azhalagam perumal,Nadiya, Harsha. And a special aboard which is a surprise. This movie is very different in its elements , when the context is very well known and if to present it is very easy, Vivek Athreya joins hands and makes it in a different way which is his significance. Talking about his previous directorial "brochevarevarura". Ante Sundaraniki follows the same template too. Not in the sense of content but of the screenplay. Can't say confusing ,but attracts very few and this is what makes the movie interesting as well as successful in reaching the minds of audiences.

Story and execution

Story penned by vivek focuses on a Brahmin orthodox family and a Christian family. Sundar Prasad who dreamt of becoming a hero ends up becoming an employee of a company. When Leela is added to his life how he meets her and what all interruptions they've faced to be one is the story ,which involves laughs, emotions etc. Also bringing back Nani to his original form is the major factor as he is known for his comedy timing, expressions etc. His innocence is seen throughout the movie. The scenes of Nani with actor harsha were hilarious. This was the crazy stuff added. Actor Naresh makes us laugh and emotional. The grandmother's role was the crazy creation. People will definitely connect to their ones. Nazriya maintained that cuteness throughout the movie. This makes the pair look lovable. Added soothing songs and bgms by Vivek Sagar is a plus point. Vivek sagar just mesmerized the audience. But coming to the duration of the movie it is lengthy and makes audience bored in some sequences, also the point I earlier said- the screenplay can only be satisfied by few people. I felt that some part of the movie doesn't contain the crisp to connect , although, audience who are mid aged can definitely relate to it. Actress Rohini's acting in the climax especially is the best . Hence, it's a film that can be watched by all.

Verdict

After watching the movies filled with violence, thrilling elements/ suspense, this movie refreshes you with its coolness. And takes you'll in their trance. While watching the movie, a smile will definitely be maintained by the audience .Therefore, Ante Sundaraniki is a film that can be watched with family and keeps you cool in this scorching heat.

One of the finest rom com films...a refreshing experience... people complaining about length needs to understand that the director gave depth and conflicts to establish each character right from the beginning which is very rare compared to the so called superhit telugu comedy films...the film never felt long because of the excellent cast, screenplay, dialogues, music...I enjoyed it alot and feeling proud that this is what a quality telugu film looks like... watching it again!
