    Fidaa is all of Sai Pallavi

    This movie presents beauty of love, it shows how the girl (heroine sai pallavi) from village falls in love with Hero (Varun), later how assumptions and confusion creates differences and cope them back, All movie credit goes to Heroine, her hyperactive acting, Telangana language & tremendous dance performance in her First song made really moved to Audience in the theater.

    I really Appreciate Bhanu (Sai Pallavi) for her Performance in this movies, thanks for shekar Kammul for giving us such good movie.

    Fidaa is Sai Pallavi's show all the way with her terrific performance.A One Time Watch

    Fidaa (2017): Who wouldn't have expectations on Sai Pallavi and Shekar Kamula combo.Sai Pallavi is heartthrob for all the youngsters after Premam.She is mostly known as Malar.She has great fan following all over South India even though she has acted in two Malayalam films till now.Now its her entry to Tollywood which was already successful as reviews have been positive and Sai Pallavi is being appreciated a lot.So how is Fidaa? Plot: Varun (Varun Tej), a NRI, lands in rural village in Telangana to attend the wedding ceremony of his brother (Raja) and meets Bhanumathi (Sai Pallavi), the bride's sister. They get attracted to each other and start finding out about themselves.Due to a misunderstanding, they part ways on a bad note. Though he likes her, she hates him for some incident.Months later, Bhanumathi comes to USA to see her pregnant sister. Will they fall in love this time? Does the story end on happier note?

    My Review: Sai Pallavi is the major attraction of the film.Right from the first frame, she mesmerizes you completely. Be it her looks, Telangana accent and the way she carries the emotional scenes, she is a show stealer.It is so impressive that she got the Telugu language with Telangana slang so perfectly.Her dance moves in Vachinde song are awesome.Anybody can easily go fidaa over her.She is Tollywood's new heartthrob.

    Shekar Kammula has selected ages old love story between two youngsters belonging to different backgrounds and their love-hate-love cycle.Even the movie is so clichéd,it still is entertaining only because of performances and dialogues.Shekar Kammula quite failed in second half as a story writer but his dialogues are entertaining throughout the film.

    Music of the film is very good.Songs like "Vachinde","Hey Pllagada" and "Oosu Podu" are nice to hear.They are visually mesmerizing.

    First half of the movie has lot of fun moments.All the moments between Varun and Bhanumathi are cute and filled with wit.

    Second half is the major drawback as it gets repetitive with dull scenes.Even though Sai Pallavi's performances engages us,still the movie lost its charm in second half.

    So,Fidaa is Sai Pallavi's show all the way with her terrific performance.A One Time Watch My rating 6.5/10

    Must watch story that defines love

    From Malar to Anjali to Bhanumathi every performance loved it. Songs, excellent timing of dialogues make the story more beautiful.

    Love - Hate - Love - Story truly defined by this movie.

    Must watch movie even if you don't understand the language the expression of the actress will define the whole story and dialogue. The excellent performance by all actors and excellent direction.

    Predictable story but watched till end!

    It is very know subject and predictable story, but watched till end for Sai Pallavi's natural act. She made it as so cute love story.
