Guntur Kaaram

The storyline itself may seem a bit ludicrous, and unfortunately, it transforms into a cringe-worthy screenplay overloaded with commercial elements like comedy, sentiment, fights, songs, and the whole shebang. Enduring this film is akin to a self-inflicted torture.

Mahesh Babu gives it his all, attempting a fresh approach with his character and performance in comparison to his recent works. However, Ramya Krishnan's potential is sadly underutilized, leaving much to be desired.

Sree Leela delivers her usual dose of subpar acting but compensates with great dancing skills. The remaining cast, caught up in mundane roles, manages to scrape by with okay performances.

Production values pass muster, and the music is, well, music. However, the direction feels antiquated, and it's high time Guruji explores new avenues rather than sticking to this worn-out formula.

In all honesty, this film isn't worth the theater ticket, not even a glance on OTT platforms. Save yourself the trouble.
