Beautifully written movie, very comical first half and emotionally engaging second half. Director Santhosh Anandram comes again with a very good social message. Very authentic backdrop setting gives the movie a fresh and mesmerizing look. The music gives a touching feel for the viewers. The screenplay was on point without any unwanted dialogues. Cinematography was outstanding and the actors have done a very good job. Lead actor Jaggesh was as usual outstanding with his comedy timing and dialogues.
Drawback of the movie is it's comical first half which masks the efforts of the social message the movie tries to convey.

Before making movies like this, please go and learn how to direct movies. All the characters are half baked,not even a single character is fleshed out. There is no story at all. The title of the movie is also misleading. Jaggesh doing same old 90's vulgar comedy, all he does in the movie is trying to consummate his marriage and this goes for too long. May be he should try doing character roles, his time as a leading man is over or else he'll become like Govinda of KFI. Wonder why they fund such movies. Total waste of time. I think these people start filming and then make the script probably. 2/10 better skip it.
Hayavadana (Jaggesh) is in his 40's and extremely desperate to get married. He is even more desperate to consummate the marriage because 40 year old virginity. He works at his father's restaurant which is also into catering. After several rejections, he finally gets married to Vyjayanthi (Shweta Srivatsav), from a traditional family. It is a late marriage and as expected, they struggle to conceive. Parallely, story of an evil politician Kumar eyeing to be a Minister also runs. What all does the couple go through after marriage and how the politician's action gets synced to the couple's lire forms rest of the story.
Director Santosh Ananddram picks a good themed story and also a lasting message. But his issue with overstuffing the screenplay continues with this film as well. The entire sub plot involving the politician simply doesn't sync with the main story. Also, the emotions involving the couple and their family is only on the surface. The conflicts that get highlighted is resolved the very next scene. These things simply downplay everything resulting in the scenes being less effective despite having the potential.
If the film focused solely about the late marriage then it would have been really special. Entire first half is dedicated to the humor around Hayavadana's failed attempt to have sex with his new wife. Somehow the humor doesn't cross the line to be crude. In the second half, relevant issues of infertility due to late marriage is raised and the film truly picks up from here, followed by the surrogacy being opposed by his father.
The film definitely deserved a better screenplay and the tonal shifts should've been taken care off. The comedy is not the hilarious kind, not the cringe kind as well and the melodrama is extensive. Proper balanced screenplay simply would've made this a special film.

Looks like director wanted to make an adult comedy inspired by old kashinath movies and then passed on a social message in last 5-10 minutes. Till last 10 min, this movie is adult comedy but director wanted to protray it as a social message oriented movie. Not sure how hombale agreed to produce this movie. Whole movie is about hero trying to get married and having sex. I remembered old Kashinath movies which had similiar theme but had better story and screenplay. After some point of time , sitting through full movie turns into torture. Kids will surely not enjoy the movie though it has a message related to kids at the end. Hombale needs to be careful while choosing the scripts.

Not recommended.
