    Fantastic and realistic movie

    A very very excellent writing and narration. Great movie. Excellent Drama. Superb songs. Great movie In Every aspect. Such a realistic movie and narration skills are damn great. Writer and director should get atleast Nandi award for this narration and filming. Great music support. Every actor justified his role. I thought I'll skip atleast 1 hour of this subject while watching it. But a single minute i didn't. People should watch and learn from thia kind of realistic narration. Everybody will get some motivation by seeing this kind of narration or film. Great entertainment will be assured. Enjoy the movie guys!!

    Good attempt .. tried to cook in Mallu style

    "Baapu" offers a refreshingly easygoing cinematic experience. Its ability to blend a dark thematic undercurrent with a light, comedic touch is undeniably engaging. One can't help but wonder if, were it a Malayalam production, it would garner even higher praise from Telugu audiences, likely securing a solid 7 to 8 rating. The storyline, while possessing a strong core concept, does feel somewhat undercooked, leaving a sense of untapped potential. The characters, unfortunately, suffer from a similar fate, lacking the depth and nuance that would have truly brought them to life. More robust character development would have significantly enhanced the overall impact of the film. Nevertheless, "Baapu" remains a thoroughly enjoyable watch, particularly for those seeking a lighthearted and undemanding movie experience. It's a film perfectly suited for family viewing, requiring no intense concentration or specialized attention. A pleasant, uncomplicated, and ultimately satisfying cinematic diversion.

    Some scencs were good, but overall it was average

    What does a farmer do to repay his loans? That's the central question Baapu tries to answer. The movie has a good story, but the execution is a bit of a misfire. There are some unnecessary scenes, but it has its moments. The struggles of rural people and farmers are portrayed quite well. It's a mix of thrill and emotion. However, the director doesn't fully utilize the depth of the story. Several elements-like emotional depth, thrill, black comedy, and sentimental drama-are left underexplored.

    Actors like Brahmaji and Aamani shine, and the entire cast delivers excellent performances. While the film has its flaws, this village drama is definitely worth watchable with family.

    Imperfect

    The movie has a good and realistic story that feels believable. The characters are natural and interesting, making it easy to connect with them. The way the story is told keeps the audience engaged, though it could have been even better.

    The direction is good, and the filmmaker has handled the story well. The screenplay is above average, meaning the scenes are written and arranged well, but there is room for improvement. The editing is fine, ensuring a smooth flow between scenes. However, the production values are a bit low, so the overall look and feel of the movie are not very grand.

    The costumes and makeup are well done, making the characters look appropriate for their roles. The acting by Brahmaji, Amani, Sudhakar Reddy, Rachha Ravi and Dhanya is very good-they bring their characters to life with strong performances.

    The cinematography is just average, meaning the camera work and visuals are not very impressive but not bad either. The background music is not good and does not add much to the scenes. However, one song in the movie is decent.

    Overall, the movie has a good story, strong acting, and good direction, but some technical aspects could have been better. You can watch it if you like realistic dramas.

    Predictable, non sense character, badly directed, "faltu gyan"

    Predictable - The storyline follows a generic and overused formula, making it easy to guess what will happen next. There are no surprises, twists, or engaging plot developments. It lacks the creativity to keep the audience invested.

    Nonsense Character - The characters are poorly written, lacking depth and logical motivation. Their actions and decisions do not make sense within the context of the movie, making it difficult for the audience to connect with them. They might behave inconsistently, as if they exist only to move the plot forward rather than having real personalities.

    Badly Directed - The director fails to bring the story to life in a compelling manner. The pacing might be off, making scenes feel either too rushed or unnecessarily dragged out. Cinematography, editing, and scene transitions might feel amateurish, failing to create the intended impact. If it's an action movie, the action sequences might lack excitement; if it's a drama, the emotional depth might be missing.

    "Faltu Gyan" (Useless Preaching) - The movie might try too hard to deliver a moral lesson, but instead of being thought-provoking, it feels forced and unnecessary. The dialogues might be filled with over-the-top wisdom or clichés that add no real value to the story. Instead of letting the message emerge naturally from the narrative, the movie spoon-feeds its philosophy in a way that feels like a lecture rather than entertainment.

    Final Verdict:

    This movie likely fails to engage its audience due to its predictable storytelling, shallow characters, weak direction, and excessive, forced messaging. Instead of delivering an entertaining or thought-provoking experience, it ends up being frustrating and unmemorable. Would you like to mention which movie you're referring to, or are you just describing a general trend?
