It seems like the secondary characters (or so they seemed as per introduction) dominate the story to a point where the main leads dont matter.

Bramhanandam's emotional connect doesn't matter. Him saying "we don't need money if it comes with these many problems" doesn't matter by the end as his grandson ends up with easy money anyway. His character doesnt matter by the end, same as the two leads that he is with in the movie.

In fact, all the characters needed more time to complete their arcs. The film didnt seem to know how to do it.

It seemed like threads were laid out to stitch together a good story and in the second half they were hastily tied off instead of being beautifully knitted.

With certainty, the script could've used better writers and more rewrites. The movie making is fantastic. The other departments are fantastic.

The plot's simple - a bunch of greedy characters jump on a big money opportunity.

The way they've treated and presented it is pretty fresh for a Telugu film. But let's be real, the screenplay doesn't grip you as much as the makers hoped. The comedy lands in some scenes and flops in others. The pace might drag a bit at times, but it's not a snail's crawl, no siree.

Gotta give props to the director - he nailed it. Big shoutout to Tharun Bhaskar for his top-notch work.

As for the actors, Chaitanya, Rag Mayur, Jeevan, Vishnu oi and Tarun are killin' it in their roles, and Brahmanandam's tryin' out a different kind of comedy that hits in some scenes. The rest of the crew also brings their A-game.

Production design's off the hook, with world-class locations, sets, props, costumes, and makeup. Cinematography's on point, and the editing's as snazzy as a Guy Ritchie and Edgar Wright flick.

The music's just okay, nothin' to write home about. If you're expectin' the moon, you might be disappointed, but if you go in with an open mind, you could dig it.

Seems like this one's more of a couch potato special than a big-screen bonanza.

'Keedacola' is the latest crime comedy from Tarun Bhaskar and his talented team, and it's an absolute gem that demands your attention. From the first scene to the last, this film is a non-stop laughter extravaganza. In the initial half, a strong storyline provides the perfect backdrop for the exceptional characterizations of Brahmanandam, Jeevan, Chaitanya, and Raghu Mayur. Each actor delivers a top-notch performance, and the impeccable timing of Tarun Bhaskar, Jeevan, Vishnu, and Shaats adds an extra layer of hilarity to the mix.

As you move into the second half, prepare to be taken to a whole new level of comedy. The film introduces an unexpected twist that will keep you engaged. The comedy sequences in the second half are nothing short of a treat, offering a wide range of humor, including English comedy, references to Barbie, Jeevan's expressive acting, and much more.

The film boasts remarkable screenplays, seamless editing, and the technical finesse that contributes to its overall brilliance. The musical score by Vivek Sagar elevates the movie's atmosphere to new heights. The climax twist and the behind-the-scenes insights in the second half further enhance the viewer's experience.

The theme of the film is very different. The characters are funny. You will laugh and wonder if this can even happen.

If you like romantic comedies then this one is worth a watch. The dialogues are very funny. The great Brahmanandu Garu is here to make us laugh more. The acting done by everyone is very real, no one disappoints us.

The character Kaushik (Lanchaam) is a gem in all, his comedy timing is amazing and dialogues are superb. He grabs all the attention here. Chaitanya has also acted well.

Overall the film is a very good small budget film which makes us laugh and happy. Character development is good.

Director Tharun Bhasker's greatest accomplishment is his never-ending drive to advance Telugu cinema from a technical standpoint.

It all started with Pelli Choopulu, and continued strongly with ENE. And now in Keeda Kola.

The color grading, cinematography, editing feel so familiar and instantly relatable. It's something only a few directors can pull off.

I have nothing much to say about the story or the screenplay itself. It's not memorable, just entertaining.

You can have a good time. But it's definitely not something that stands out, as it is with his previous two feature films.

Tharun has set a benchmark for indie, buddy comedy movies and he continues to surprise everyone with his casting decisions.
