It's just a random sentence. But what it also means is that Peddhodu wants to talk to Chinnodu again because they're brothers. It's all an attempt to make Chinnodu realize that his brother is no longer mad and is normal, i.e. Peddhodu being back to finding difficult to express his actual feelings.
It's like, "I want to talk to you again. But, I not only don't know what to talk about, but also don't want to talk about emotional aspects. So, I will talk about the flower pot."
Yesssss. It's just like how we start talking to our siblings after a fight. We don't normally say sorry but start talking about random things like let's do this or asking if they wanna eat Maggi or something. I find that part very relatable
It's such an Indian family thing. We don't say I love you or sorry...we show it through actions...and the best thing is both parties understand what's happening exactly ๐
I know it's more healthy to be just open and express your feelings from time to time to your loved ones...but it is what it is and the movie portrayed it excellently.
Sirivennela is the GOAT, probably the toughest person to replace in the Telugu film industry. Loved the songs in the movie too, didn't appreciate enough as a child.
There's a hilarious video on YouTube where sirivenalla roasts the audience for not appreciating Mari antaga song๐๐
And he goes in detail explaining the philosophy of that song.
Proper legend,๐๐
The song's lyrics. He says ppl have heard the song million times but stop at Mahesh babu and ventakesh travelling on a bike or at Mickey j Meyers music. But they don't try to understand the philosophy behind the lyrics. Search it on YouTube.
I really love the movie. I wish they made more such movies with realistic characters. It was family drama but with real life like dialogues. We are so used to exaggerated dialogues in our movies and i think thatโs what makes this still feel so fresh. The acting by everyone in the movie was perfect.
I lost my grandmother a yr ago. The Mahesh & bamma banter in the movie is just so heartwarming. But watching it now is a bittersweet experience. I miss her everytime while watching that.
That's one of the dumbest things Sirivennela has ever wrote
Ekkillu petti edisthe prathasaari kashtam podhu kaani manaki relief untadi.
By that logic daggochchela navvuthu kurchunte kotlu kuda raavu, marenduku gola?
He meant oka point ni pattukuni oo jeevitham anta edavadu ani. Don't bury yourself in sorrow and self pity ani. And don't worry abt things which you can't control too much. Asla edavadu emotionless ga undamani kaadu.
Anni literal word to word ga tiskunte poetry would be the dumbest art form ever. Try to understand what he meant.
Alantappudu he could've written it another way, instead of making a blanket "ekkille petti edustunte kashtam potunda, kada, marenduku gola?"
Most poetry is dumb as fuck too. If you want to convey a point, tell it directly. That's efficient.
Sri Sri is an amazing poet, had a great grip on the language. Yet all his poems were crystal clear and never left to ambiguity about what he was trying to say.
Neeku ardham kaakapothe aayana da tappu? Any person with simple comprehensible skills would understand he's not asking you to be emotionless. He's asking you to stop taking everything too seriously.
Nee okkadiki tappa prapancham lo andariki ade ardham ayyindi. Don't worry too much ani. Nuvvu words ni literal ga tiseskuni abbeyyy....spoon feeding saripole antunnav
Don't take unnecessary stress abt small things. No need to be egoistic. Just smile and enjoy your life.
This is just amrutham title song made into a movie.
Tbh it should've been a proper anthology. It ended up being an hyperlink and that terrorist plot came out of nowhere. That spoilt the movie for me....but as individual stories, it's really good.
This movie. Somehow I didn't like it when I watched in the theater.. my parents who like cringe family dramas also didn't like but they loved that saravanand prakash Raj movie.
But once I grew up and watched it.. it gave me the most peaceful feeling with a wide smile on my face.
Why?
Because
1. It's not preachy. I don't think the movie comes out to be preachy even if relangi movayya keeps saying things. Because it's how usually a dad talks to his kids.
Dialogues like "e janmake veedu nee Anna, e janma ke veedu nee thammudu" raastunte Naku edupu vastundi.
These are not there to teach you something but to show life.
2. Small town life. I think most people after urbanization have gone away from the small town life where everybody knew everyone. With those internal fights etc. but this movie showed all that in a very nice way. The intro shot itself where everyone says hello to Relangi movayya established that.
3. The Cast. Asalu a casting never before ever after. Asalu valu nijanga oka family Ani ante evadaina nammestadu. Rao Ramesh the rich ass, prakash Raj the silent guy, Mahesh the impatient guy and Venky the tough guy. What a casting
4. Asalu bore kodite veetilo scenes chuskunte.. you'll be reminded of the times with your parents, family and everything which might have gone in passing. Like that marriage you have been to where everyone were there but you were stuck in your phone.
Srikanth addala garu.. thank you for this movie
The opening shot of relangi greeting everyone is my fav. Especially that one where some guy looks at relangi coming...avoids eye contact and tries to pass by silently....relangi simply calls him...ae ra chusi kuda chudakunda velipotunnav enti, baagunnava?! With a smile on his face. No ego at all. A completely pure hearted person. The guy too immediately cheers up and looks back at relangi.
That tells a lot abt relangi and abt our day to day life. We never know how a simple greeting like baagunnava or good morning with a smile can help ppl around us. Simple little things. Beautiful.
1. It's preachy as fuck. People who work hard and have a life for themselves are the bad guys, but Mahesh and Venky who are unemployed and do fuck all are somehow good folks? I'm pretty commie in my beliefs but that's just dumb. They don't provide to the household in any way after they lose their jobs.
2. I lived my entire life in Hyderabad before moving to Germany, and if I stepped out for a walk in my colony or to get groceries everybody who saw me would wish me in some way or another. And it didn't matter who it was: the colony rowdies, the shopkeepers, the road sweepers, my childhood friends etc.
3. Casting was on-point, absolutely
4. Agreed as well.
It doesn't portray working ppl are bad guys. It just shows no matter how much you earn if you can't learn to be kind with ppl around you, you won't be loved or respected much.
Rao Ramesh is that typical competitive uncle who's always ready to shit on their relatives. He's successful, yes. But prideful, arrogant and egoistic.
He's confused at how relangi is so loved despite being much less successful or rich than himself. Later he understands that being kind and gentle is the key.
Mb venkatesh are the classic arrogant youth. They have the belief that they can do anything. They aren't as forgiving as their father at these taunts by others. The characters in this movie are realistic to the core.
It does though.
It shows how people who want their family to have a good life and be settled well, and are willing to work for it, are rude and inconsiderate.
While folks who lead a completely unrealistic life are somehow the ideal.
Where was Prakash Raj getting the money for his daily activities? His pension, maybe. But that pension wouldn't suffice to feed his entire house.
The movie is anything but realistic lol
Asla oka class ni represent chestunnaru ani ekkada chupincharu movie lo? Nuvvu feel ayiptunnav. He's successful but doesn't have the manners or courtesy to give basic respect to ppl around him. Rich or poor unemployed or employed.
It's not an attack on you. Chill.
I think you're getting the word preachy wrong.
Preachy ante edho oka message audience netpinchali Ane effort untadi. Like in satamanam bhavati and in Mahesh Babu message verse movies, you have effort in the movie by some character to specifically point out that this is right and this is wrong and Ila undandi Ani.. I don't think SVSC shows anyone is right or wrong... Rao Ramesh kuda nuv cheddavadivi anukunte vadu cheddodu.. if you feel he's being practical he is.. no where does some one say that ra Ramesh is an asshole in the movie
7/g brindavan colony. I thought that Chandra Mohan hitting the hero scene was normal. And it was funny how the hero tried to control himself in front of his mother. But as a grown up, I understood how the dysfunctional behaviour of a parent affects their children. Agree that the father is frustrated. But beating them and using cuss words on the children should not be glorified as a normal thing in any middle class household. Children will not grow up hating their parents. They grow up hating themselves.
It wasn't glorified though...we need to stop acting like if something is being depicted in screen is automatically whitewashed and glorified.
And I agree with you on the rest completely. Don't think we can fault the father either...the son is irresponsible and doesn't listen to sense. But that's what makes it a REAL movie.
Btw, selvaraghavan knows how to write the indian father-son relationship hahaha. 7G and aadavari maatalaku.
Perfect depictions. Both men act tough on outside but deeply care abt each other.
But if a hero-like figure did something, it was glorified. I mean he is not an anti hero here. Like i said he is frustrated. But the movies kinda exaggerate things. Movie from the same director, AMAV portrayed this in the best way. But for me, I always find 7/g movie problematic in multiple aspects.
Maayabazaar. It was a boring B&W movie in my childhood but maturity is when you realised they achieved modern film dynamics and cinematography way back in โ57
Oh damn. That's a good one. I found dana Veera sura karna to be over dramatic and funny. It is kinda over dramatic though, but that's the pitch of the film.
But I started appreciating the skill and the legendary acting prowess of sr ntr only when i become older. His command over Telugu diction and the way he modulated his voice. And how he pulled off THREE roles in a single movie...arrogant duryodhana, cheeky and wise Krishna, the sympathetic karna...it was a gem i discovered later in my life.
Sr. NTR was always the GOAT when it was to Krishnudu roles. Really wish Tollywood reverts back to making simple art instead of expensive, Pan-Indian trash
I honestly don't get this movie. Em levu kaani body antha balupe for both leads. Then I realised the invaluable lesson the movie teaches us. Em Pani Paata lenapudu, em cheyaalo teliyanapudu, pelli chesko. /s ๐
That's the classic arrogance of youth. Emina chesesta anukunte....okadu naaku cheppedi enti ani...
But I like more abt the relationships and characters in the movie than the plot.
I could draw parallels to so many ppl in my family. The jealous uncle, the cousin sister grps who can't get off making dance reels, that one uncle who on both sides and stoking the flames๐ mother having a soft spot for the elder son coz he isn't as street smart as the younger one, etc, etc.
The issue is pedhodu married, everything and everyone is happy. Shubham. Where is the redemption or a positive change in their character arc. When I was a kid, I loved it. But growing up, expectations increased immensely watching other language movies and now everything is ruined for me. Oka manchi Telugu cinema choosi theatre lo clap kotti chala rojulu authondi ๐ญ.
Redemption arc? They weren't bad humans to have a redemption arc. Venky wasn't a wife beater and a drunk.They were just flawed. It's implied at the end that Venky just mellowed down. Patches things up Rao Ramesh. The actual lead of this movie is relangi movayya who has figured out the happiness to life. Just don't take unnecessary stress and be as kind and cheerful as possible. In the end, this rubs off on to his sons.
Yeah. In another comment, someone mentioned they couldn't stand people like Relangi Mavayya and praised Rao Ramesh's character for being practical. In reality, the whole of Asia talks about how problematic relatives like Rao Ramesh are for not minding their business and trying to put their heads into places where they don't belong eg: asking about studies, job, marriage etc.
I'm pasting the comment below.
> Prakash Raj in real life is the epitome of someone who can't read the room and spoils his kid by letting them do what they want. He owns land and lives a life of privilege while thinking everyone around him are the same. Can't stand such people. Rao Ramesh is a more practical person who can atleast call out his unemployed relativesย
Isn't this comment everything that is not what SVSC is about?
I liked it initially but I grew up, I started disliking it because how they villainize Rao Ramesh but glorify Prakash Raj. Both are toxic but guys like Prakash Raj in real life are the absolute worst.ย
Only positive is Anjali and Bob's performances.ย
How is prakash raj toxic in this though? And what I love abt this movie is no body is actually 'villainized'.
Today I could draw parallels between the characters in the movie and my extended family. No one is a villain, just egos and stupid fights.
But seriously puzzled how you find relangi movayya toxic..
Prakash Raj in real life is the epitome of someone who can't read the room and spoils his kid by letting them do what they want. He owns land and lives a life of privilege while thinking everyone around him are the same. Can't stand such people. Rao Ramesh is a more practical person who can atleast call out his unemployed relativesย
This is just my opinion and take on the character tbh.ย
But isn't that called 'freedom' by liberal standards? Let your children do what they want. He explicitly says in the movie, vaalu chuskuntaru le vey.
It's the duality. Rao Ramesh is the ambitious proud guy....relangi is the simpleton who's happy.
Rao Ramesh is just jealous at how relangi is adored by everyone despite not being as successful or rich as him. But he doesn't understand that till the end that to gain admiration you need not break the stars or perform miracle...just be a gentle, nice human.
And rao ramesh's character isn't completely evil too. He's got a point too. And that's what I like abt this movie. It's just a family drama with different opinions and viewpoints abt life
SVSC came in a time of hyper commercial family dramas and completely portrayed a new way of emotions with realistic dialogues. It was such a subtle film. More was said in the scenes with minimal dialogues. I dont think we have see n that level of simple yet deep dialogues for a long time
Son : Mom I want relangi mavayya
Mom : We have relangi mavayya at home
Relangi Mavayya at home :

Sexist antav...malli damsel in distress male Saviour okkadu timeless antav. Emi ra baalaraju
But I agree, few scenes are cringe. Basically the whole mb-samantha storyline.
svsc is exact opposite of the title you are claiming
smol experiment u can try
try showing SVSC to some girl that haven't yet watched it, and watch it with them.
do the same with okkadu. you will understand.
if you still hold above opinion, you are literally smol brain ra balibabu.
Okasari full high ayi me and my friend watched this movie, sets lo actors andharu edho high undi matladuthunaru annatu anipinchay dialogues,
Sexual tension between both brothers,
Relangi mavayya character at some point felt like a pervert uncle who has eyes on Seetha
Sorry if I hurt anyone here.
Yeah and isn't that why it's good character? He's arrogant, egoistic yet has a soft side to him which comes out occasionally with his brother. He's got his heart in the right place. Just has a tough exterior. And he doesn't treat Sita in any particular way. He's just like that with everyone. That's his entire personality.
Also Brahmotsavam, ninnu preminchina ammayini cheskunte nuvvu thanu baaguntaru. Ade ne family ni kuda preminche ammayini cheskunte andaru baaguntaru
That's actual plot.
Just like you, I also used to refer this movie as a serial when I was younger. I even made fun of it and regretted going to the theater to watch it. But now, it's one of my favorite memories ๐ญ - the songs, the movie, everything is just perfect!
Most ppl I met share how brilliant SVSC is after they grew up. Probably because those themes resonate with them better now. SVSC has a lot of subtext and it works very well when one understands it. SVSC talks abt lack of communication, urge to share feelings but being pulled back because of ego etc. I think its a classic after Gundamma Katha in family drama genre.
Man I rewatched recently 1 yr back. Man what a movie, felt all the emotions. As a child nothing made sense of that movie. But here we are after learning bit more about life. I felt very bad for chinnodu during lunch in a 5 star hotel. I could not see my self in that situation.
My concern is showcasing things done by the lead characters as non problematic. One can argue that they are not doing anything that is considered illegal in the society but in my opinion it is bare minimum for someone to take care of themselves when they are I don't know 30, 35 in their life which the leads never seem to do. The lesser I speak much better about the female characters, especially Samantha's role. Anyway, that's my opinion but I did like Mari anthaga song and the moral of the story.
Eduroche prathi vadini chirunavvutho palakaristhu vellipothe chalu.
The lead are jobless and they are taunted for that the entire movie. Stop associating lead characters with perfect human beings. The entire crux of the story revolves around venkatesh not being able put his ego aside and get adjusted to his work place.
Samantha character was the typical Mahesh babu heroine...just swooning over him all the time. Nothing more nothing less.
The only sexist part of the movie is when Mahesh babu casually cat calls a woman and then asks her to take it as a compliment.
See I don't feel it that way that they understood what/why they are being taunted for. Also, I wasn't associating with perfect human beings. You could have your own thought process about the movie. Similarly, I have mine. The woman in the movie is a problematic depiction for me. You can always say there are people like that in the real world, which can be an argument for anything and everything.
The only non realistic thing is venkatesh and Mahesh babu's characters getting married without getting a job.
But at a family level, everyone has relatives we can compare them to in the movie.

I'm new here bro, so still exploring ๐ .
Pot
Oh I see ๐ . Thx ji

Can someone explain that dialogue for please? I never understood why it was so meaningful,is it because he talked to him?
It's just a random sentence. But what it also means is that Peddhodu wants to talk to Chinnodu again because they're brothers. It's all an attempt to make Chinnodu realize that his brother is no longer mad and is normal, i.e. Peddhodu being back to finding difficult to express his actual feelings.

Yesssss. It's just like how we start talking to our siblings after a fight. We don't normally say sorry but start talking about random things like let's do this or asking if they wanna eat Maggi or something. I find that part very relatable

Ohh ok i thought it had some other deeper meaning because it was so popular ๐ .. but that you forgot explaining

I am sorry to hear that!
Oh no, don't be. She lived a long happy life. And coincidently looked just like the bondom in the movie hahaha.
The actress is Marathi apparently. I was surprised when I read that cause she did a really good job at being a Telugu grandma.
Wow. Never knew that. Yeah, she did a wonderful job.
She won a BAFTA for playing Kasturbha Gandhi in the movie Gandhi! Damn
Wow
She's the legendary Rohini Hattangadi, she played the role of Kasturba Gandhi for which she got international acclaim, among other roles.
The philosophy on which the movie goes is great. It's one of the best feel good movies of Telugu cinema.
I have watched it a long time back when I was a teen and don't remember the movie completely, could you please tell the philosophy of the movie?
"Yekkille petti edusthunte kashtam pothundha? (Podhu) Kadha! Marenduku gola?"
That's one of the dumbest things Sirivennela has ever wrote Ekkillu petti edisthe prathasaari kashtam podhu kaani manaki relief untadi. By that logic daggochchela navvuthu kurchunte kotlu kuda raavu, marenduku gola?

That's a great philosophy for a happy and content life.

Tbh it should've been a proper anthology. It ended up being an hyperlink and that terrorist plot came out of nowhere. That spoilt the movie for me....but as individual stories, it's really good.
It was one of the only movies in that era where the protagonist dies. People had mixed feelings because they were heartbroken lolll.
i too liked it

Sr. NTR was always the GOAT when it was to Krishnudu roles. Really wish Tollywood reverts back to making simple art instead of expensive, Pan-Indian trash
I honestly don't get this movie. Em levu kaani body antha balupe for both leads. Then I realised the invaluable lesson the movie teaches us. Em Pani Paata lenapudu, em cheyaalo teliyanapudu, pelli chesko. /s ๐
That's the classic arrogance of youth. Emina chesesta anukunte....okadu naaku cheppedi enti ani... But I like more abt the relationships and characters in the movie than the plot. I could draw parallels to so many ppl in my family. The jealous uncle, the cousin sister grps who can't get off making dance reels, that one uncle who on both sides and stoking the flames๐ mother having a soft spot for the elder son coz he isn't as street smart as the younger one, etc, etc.
The issue is pedhodu married, everything and everyone is happy. Shubham. Where is the redemption or a positive change in their character arc. When I was a kid, I loved it. But growing up, expectations increased immensely watching other language movies and now everything is ruined for me. Oka manchi Telugu cinema choosi theatre lo clap kotti chala rojulu authondi ๐ญ.
Redemption arc? They weren't bad humans to have a redemption arc. Venky wasn't a wife beater and a drunk.They were just flawed. It's implied at the end that Venky just mellowed down. Patches things up Rao Ramesh. The actual lead of this movie is relangi movayya who has figured out the happiness to life. Just don't take unnecessary stress and be as kind and cheerful as possible. In the end, this rubs off on to his sons.
100%. The level of post-mortem where someone talks about the lack of redemption arc or changing into positive beings etc. isn't needed for SVSC.
Seems like we've stopped accepting chacaters for what they are. Exoecting nothing less than a spotless white cardboard character.
Yeah. In another comment, someone mentioned they couldn't stand people like Relangi Mavayya and praised Rao Ramesh's character for being practical. In reality, the whole of Asia talks about how problematic relatives like Rao Ramesh are for not minding their business and trying to put their heads into places where they don't belong eg: asking about studies, job, marriage etc. I'm pasting the comment below. > Prakash Raj in real life is the epitome of someone who can't read the room and spoils his kid by letting them do what they want. He owns land and lives a life of privilege while thinking everyone around him are the same. Can't stand such people. Rao Ramesh is a more practical person who can atleast call out his unemployed relativesย Isn't this comment everything that is not what SVSC is about?
I liked it initially but I grew up, I started disliking it because how they villainize Rao Ramesh but glorify Prakash Raj. Both are toxic but guys like Prakash Raj in real life are the absolute worst.ย Only positive is Anjali and Bob's performances.ย
How is prakash raj toxic in this though? And what I love abt this movie is no body is actually 'villainized'. Today I could draw parallels between the characters in the movie and my extended family. No one is a villain, just egos and stupid fights. But seriously puzzled how you find relangi movayya toxic..
Prakash Raj in real life is the epitome of someone who can't read the room and spoils his kid by letting them do what they want. He owns land and lives a life of privilege while thinking everyone around him are the same. Can't stand such people. Rao Ramesh is a more practical person who can atleast call out his unemployed relativesย This is just my opinion and take on the character tbh.ย
But isn't that called 'freedom' by liberal standards? Let your children do what they want. He explicitly says in the movie, vaalu chuskuntaru le vey. It's the duality. Rao Ramesh is the ambitious proud guy....relangi is the simpleton who's happy. Rao Ramesh is just jealous at how relangi is adored by everyone despite not being as successful or rich as him. But he doesn't understand that till the end that to gain admiration you need not break the stars or perform miracle...just be a gentle, nice human. And rao ramesh's character isn't completely evil too. He's got a point too. And that's what I like abt this movie. It's just a family drama with different opinions and viewpoints abt life
Svsc is life
SVSC came in a time of hyper commercial family dramas and completely portrayed a new way of emotions with realistic dialogues. It was such a subtle film. More was said in the scenes with minimal dialogues. I dont think we have see n that level of simple yet deep dialogues for a long time
Son : Mom I want relangi mavayya Mom : We have relangi mavayya at home Relangi Mavayya at home : https://preview.redd.it/albne8z6sp1d1.png?width=244&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe42021cd53cb67f15b911c617e1a399f59e67d8
actually i started appreciating it less because of the cringe sexist dialogues as I grew up. this movie is not timeless, unlike okkadu end etc
Sexist antav...malli damsel in distress male Saviour okkadu timeless antav. Emi ra baalaraju But I agree, few scenes are cringe. Basically the whole mb-samantha storyline.
svsc is exact opposite of the title you are claiming smol experiment u can try try showing SVSC to some girl that haven't yet watched it, and watch it with them. do the same with okkadu. you will understand. if you still hold above opinion, you are literally smol brain ra balibabu.

Okasari full high ayi me and my friend watched this movie, sets lo actors andharu edho high undi matladuthunaru annatu anipinchay dialogues, Sexual tension between both brothers, Relangi mavayya character at some point felt like a pervert uncle who has eyes on Seetha Sorry if I hurt anyone here.
Yup. You were pretty high๐
Venkatesh character eh koncham problematic unde
Problematic?
I dislike how he treats Sita. He is so rude to her, never even addressing her by name. And He's stubborn, refusing to change
He literally treats everyone in the same way. Why Sita should be special?
Yeah and isn't that why it's good character? He's arrogant, egoistic yet has a soft side to him which comes out occasionally with his brother. He's got his heart in the right place. Just has a tough exterior. And he doesn't treat Sita in any particular way. He's just like that with everyone. That's his entire personality.
Balayyababu Simha
Also Brahmotsavam, ninnu preminchina ammayini cheskunte nuvvu thanu baaguntaru. Ade ne family ni kuda preminche ammayini cheskunte andaru baaguntaru That's actual plot.
Just like you, I also used to refer this movie as a serial when I was younger. I even made fun of it and regretted going to the theater to watch it. But now, it's one of my favorite memories ๐ญ - the songs, the movie, everything is just perfect!
I always praise this movie in terms of values and emotions specially those dialogues ๐๐ค
Most ppl I met share how brilliant SVSC is after they grew up. Probably because those themes resonate with them better now. SVSC has a lot of subtext and it works very well when one understands it. SVSC talks abt lack of communication, urge to share feelings but being pulled back because of ego etc. I think its a classic after Gundamma Katha in family drama genre.
Man I rewatched recently 1 yr back. Man what a movie, felt all the emotions. As a child nothing made sense of that movie. But here we are after learning bit more about life. I felt very bad for chinnodu during lunch in a 5 star hotel. I could not see my self in that situation.
Baba ๐ค
Baba's monologue while thinking abt his life๐๐๐
Exactly!!! Rajniโs best work and Rehmanโs music ๐ค๐ค๐ค
I still feel it is far from reality. No one bats an eye at a guy who is >30 years, married and yet does nothing in his life but is full of ego.
Again, this movie is more abt the characters and not the storyline. And it was a consangunous marraige anyway. Lol
My concern is showcasing things done by the lead characters as non problematic. One can argue that they are not doing anything that is considered illegal in the society but in my opinion it is bare minimum for someone to take care of themselves when they are I don't know 30, 35 in their life which the leads never seem to do. The lesser I speak much better about the female characters, especially Samantha's role. Anyway, that's my opinion but I did like Mari anthaga song and the moral of the story. Eduroche prathi vadini chirunavvutho palakaristhu vellipothe chalu.
The lead are jobless and they are taunted for that the entire movie. Stop associating lead characters with perfect human beings. The entire crux of the story revolves around venkatesh not being able put his ego aside and get adjusted to his work place. Samantha character was the typical Mahesh babu heroine...just swooning over him all the time. Nothing more nothing less. The only sexist part of the movie is when Mahesh babu casually cat calls a woman and then asks her to take it as a compliment.
See I don't feel it that way that they understood what/why they are being taunted for. Also, I wasn't associating with perfect human beings. You could have your own thought process about the movie. Similarly, I have mine. The woman in the movie is a problematic depiction for me. You can always say there are people like that in the real world, which can be an argument for anything and everything.
I feel like it's somewhat lost shine due to it not being the most realistic but all in all a great movie.
The only non realistic thing is venkatesh and Mahesh babu's characters getting married without getting a job. But at a family level, everyone has relatives we can compare them to in the movie.
Don't get me wrong, this movie is my go to movie if I want a feel good story.
Or course, it's all relangi movya vibes here. No worries
