    Excellent exciting and entertaining hit movie, great acting from all 5 lead young characters, WOW music and lyrics

    An excellent movie and a HIT movie. Also a very delightful and entertaining movie.

    The story encourages freshers to think on their own and make their own lives. It also shows how grown ups condition children to their own disadvantage. It also tell youngsters that if you are skilled and have faith in yourself, there are jobs where you can start with passion without having to bet on corporate jobs or jobs abroad. The movie also high lights that corporate jobs and jobs abraod are more of automatic coolie jobs.

    Movie has great production and directorial values. The songs, lyrics and music score are terrific....actually a WOW!!.

    The lead roles Sai Ronak and Preethi Asrani have acted very well. They very well acted and expressed accurately the youth in cross roads. The entire cast ensemble is terrific. A very matured and seasoned cast ensemble. Every one has been given good roles and did a great job.

    I specially congratulate the young actors Sai Ronak, Preethi Asrani, Rahul Ramakrishna, Preethi Asrani's friend and the underwear model actor (I wish I knew your names guys).

    I have to mention qudos to the producers Appi Reddy, Sujoi and Susheel for producing such a youth centric practical movie touching not only struggle, but romance, responsibility and a sensible practical message. Very rarely we find people willing to produce such good stories.

    Above all I am delighted of the natural telangana nativity of the movie.

    No story

    Good acting with good actors but unfortunately poor story line and very one dimensional. Demonizing NRIs is ridiculous. Seems like a case of sour grapes. Music was good.

    Movie is very nice. Hero and everyone balanced their characters. Realistic and family oriented.

    Perils of American dreams !!

    My congratulations to directors Sujoi & Sushil for sending out a hard message to people chasing the American dream. The Indian tryst with the American dream started in the 1970s, by the early 2000s it reached to epic proportions thanks to the accent of software companies in India. For the last 2 decades or so it has become the benchmark tool used by the Indian middle class population of India to compare youngsters, who are hardly in their early 20s to their prospects in the coming "decades".

    As a thumb rule a youngster with a job in the USA put absolute pressure on another 250-300 other youngsters living around him. This movie is an apt message to the parents on the perils of fulfilling the American dreams with very well written screenplay, especially for the portions containing the senior citizens. But the movie itself is very average in its making and it's just a boring love story if one takes away the concept. Pressure cooker is riddled with flaws in its screenplay and bad acting makes it worse. Comical relief & some cool Lyrical songs comes as a decent remedy in between. Tanikella Bharani's cameo is notably good.

    Pressure cooker sends the intended message in a spectacular fashion, especially for the parents of the youngsters. The movie reminds us that all men are not created equal and going to America is not the "Ultimate" thing anymore. If one is happy with what he/she is doing, I believe they are successful enough. Four stars just for delivering the Message out......its time to develop our own country.
