A crowd film in the best sense of the term.

The lead's performance alone makes this worth watching.

Visually stunning, story wise it plays things fairly safe.

Rewatched this after the initial theatrical run and it holds up even better on a second viewing. Details in the background that I missed the first time around add so much to the world-building. The lead pair have genuine chemistry, which honestly saves a script that's fairly thin on plot. Comedy track involving the extended family is hit or miss — mostly hit, occasionally overstretched. Cinematography leans heavily on wide establishing shots that slow the pace but look gorgeous. By the end I wasn't thinking about the plot holes anymore, just enjoying the ride. Not a perfect film but a genuinely fun one.

BGM ye ee movie ki pranam. Prathi scene ni music director ye next level ki teesukellad. Songs kuda bagunnai, ippudu kuda loop lo vintunna.

The second half is where this really finds its feet.

The score elevates every scene it's in.

Technically gorgeous, a little hollow underneath.

Overrated by a notch, but genuinely well made.
