How Is That for a Monday?

Great movie. Definitely watch it at least once. Different from many movies in general. Worth your money and time. Fast paced. Totally hero oriented; female character is not visible, but her presence is very strong. This story has its roots in beliefs, exposé's racism and discrimination in the past. How something like a medal has no value for someone and immense value to others is neat and nicely captured in this movie. The story, screenplay, direction, acting, and everything else is very gripping. No moment where I felt the story is dragging or boring. I will give 4.5 out of 5 for this movie 👍.

I wouldn't say hard hitting kinda film but close to that genre! It was very beautiful &sad to watch Christopher's story.. all of a sudden it really sucked me into the film when they started to tell Christopher's story.. overall a good film!

First of all this is a brilliant piece of entertaining, engaging, nuanced, hillarious, subtle, non-political, non-ideological, heart-warming movie. I am very very proud that this is a Telugu movie (albeit majority is in English) made by a person of Telugu origin.

Acting: The acting in this movie was too good. It is the only movie that I have seen where American actors (white/Latino/African-American) acted so well. Each and everyone was natural, subtle, not overly dramatic. I do not think any other Indian movie can ever boast this.

Humor: The humor was situational comedy that felt real, simple and brought a smile to everone's face. It's not cheap comedy we se in Telugu movies generated at the expense of ridiculing /shaming someone for their skin-tone or body-shape or status in life. I do not remember watching Indian comedy that wasn't cringe. Let's not even talk about Telugu comedy in the recent years/decade.

Well written characters: When did anyone see a Telugu movie with realistic human characters, well-made , well enacted without too much of soapy drama or cringe? I can only remember Shekhar Kammula (Anand, Godavari. Leader, Fidaa, Dollar Dreams) or the great K. Viswanath (especially my fav Swarnakamalam). No wonder, it is him that is recommending this movie to fellow Indians/Telugus.

While watching the movie, I had a huge smile on my face from beginning till the end. I got to watch this movie for free, out of sheer luck. This was featured by a friend of the director at a Give Campaign Event here at Microsoft HQ in Redmond for October Give Campaign Event. Huge thanks to Laxmi Dharmatej Sampathi Rao, Vikram and others for organizing the event. My review might just be a drop in an ocean but every drop counts I guess.

Lastly, the undercurrent of this movie, atleast for me was karma- improtance of doing your job/duty well and that no job or piece of work is insignificant or beneath you . Or as we say ---Karmanyevadhikaresthe Maphaleshu Kadachana - Makarma phalaheturbho Matesangostvakarmani.

Watched it at OC film festival yesterday. It is a thriller from the start to the end where two unlikely storylines come together. The transitions from one scene to the next is superb. All the characters acted very well. Yolanda, Shyam, Chris and the police acted awesome. It's hard to believe this is the first of Sripal's movies. He is better than a lot of the current Telugu directors. Thoroughly enjoyed the one and half hour movie with some friends. We are certainly looking forward to the nationwide release. We should encourage more independent film makers with low budget.. that's when the creativity comes out.

Watched and throughly enjoyed the movie all actors did performed very well and good direction .

The connection of burger with Americans is shown well in this movie background music score is one another department which did exceptionally well. The thought of plot and connecting the story is well managed by the director. Once again great job by director sripal sama and well acted by all actors especially Main lead Kaushik ghantasala.

Everyone will definitely relate something about their job firing or job resignation after watching this movie but so much happening one day is also happened in May people life.
