Palasa 1978

With a well-written movie script by Karuna Kumar, the first half of the movie is too good by introducing the local nativity & showing real-life situations that happened at that time. When you know, how the real-life situation in and around Palasa town, then you'll completely agree with the director. Apart from Fight scenes background music the rest of the BGM is good. I'm not writing any technical review here, because I just want to share the movie review, I don't want to judge any technical value.

The premise had an immense potential. But, some choices made by the creative team while writing sub-plots fail to create an engaging screenplay. The raw and rustic feel of the movie also takes a hit by the amateur act of the cast. Also, Director suddenly comes out of his way when he wrote some characters like the police officer who appears in the later half (you suddenly feel you're watching a regular movie). This very uneven narration would take you away. These genre movies need to be very engaging and very carefully written to give a long lasting experience.

But, this seems to be written by a team who have different schools of thinking.

Can you watch it? Of course, yes. It's not a bad movie in any form. It's just an in-between treat (neither raw nor regular)

It's time Machine type of movie..totally taking back to 1970s. Screen play, folk songs, palasa language slang are plus point.

One of the best recent movies I watched in Telugu. I would encourage every one to see this movie and boost these directors for similar kind of stories. Showed how casteism was so real and abused in past. Hopefully people realise the difference now and then , it's gone most part of it.

This movie is really great, never expected, extremely well done
