#Single

What's going on? I could edit this movie on my phone. So terribly put together. The plot was written by a 6th grader while the acting was something any average man on the street could perform. The bar is so low for South Indian movies and it's honestly sad to see how much our movie industry is regressing. Please set a standard before you decide to charge people on their time & money for horrible movies like this one. I would recommend everyone better take a nap, more enjoyable than this.

To the directors, please set a standard before making movies like these. Make sure the actors are in shape, the story has a flow, the editing isn't worse than a youtube video and you'll get somewhere.

If ur looking for some free time to pass, and enjoy sometime with ur friends and family, u can give this a try.

Sree Vishnu performs as usual, a wonderful performance by him, delivers a grounded performance. V Kishore, there is no words which can describe his exceptional timing and expressions, he surely is tyhe ighlight of this film. The acting of the 1st female lead (not aware of her name) could have been better, Ivana on the other hand delivers a good performance.

Overall a film which could have been better. I personally had a good time watching it, the comedy was good and my family and me had a good time, surprisingly my Grandma who rarely watched films liked this movie. A good one time watch for some laughs, a solid 6.5 on 10.

This flick is a total nightmare, like someone's bad joke turned into a film. The story's a jumbled wreck, with scenes so disjointed you'll be lost in minutes. The actors look miserable, mumbling lines like they're half asleep, and it's painful to watch. The visuals are so cheap, it's like a student project gone wrong, and the sound's a garbled mess, making dialogue hard to catch. Editing feels like it was done in a blender. It's the worst movie I've ever seen, a soul sucking waste of your time. Trust me, don't watch this garbage, it'll leave you angry you didn't spend those two hours literally anywhere else. Save your cash and skip this abomination.

#Single, starring Sree Vishnu and Vennela Kishore, is a comedy-drama that banks heavily on its humor and the chemistry between its leads. While the film has enough charm and enjoyable moments to keep you engaged, it also suffers from uneven writing, especially in the latter half where it tries to take on more emotional weight than it can handle.

The story revolves around a simple, relatable premise-a man navigating life and relationships while dealing with societal pressures of being single. It's a setup that allows plenty of scope for humor, satire, and some subtle commentary on modern relationships. And to its credit, the film does deliver on these fronts in the first half. The dialogues are witty, the pacing is breezy, and the situations, though exaggerated at times, remain largely entertaining.

Sree Vishnu is in fine form here. Known for his grounded performances, he brings an easy charm to the character, making even the silliest scenarios feel authentic. His expressions and body language complement the tone of the film perfectly. Vennela Kishore, on the other hand, is the heart of the comedy. His impeccable timing, effortless delivery, and ability to elevate even mediocre lines make him a standout throughout the film. The duo shares an excellent rapport, and many of the film's funniest moments come from their interactions.

The supporting cast, particularly the two female leads, put in decent performances but are let down by the writing. Their characters feel thinly developed and don't get the narrative space they deserve. In a story that revolves around relationships, it's a missed opportunity to flesh out the female perspective more meaningfully. As a result, while the actresses are apt for their roles, they leave little impact due to limited screen time and underwritten parts.

The film begins with promise, balancing humor with a light-hearted tone. The first half keeps the audience engaged with quick-fire comedy and playful banter. However, the cracks begin to show in the second half. The screenplay takes a sudden turn towards drama, attempting to introduce emotional depth and seriousness. Unfortunately, this shift feels rushed and lacks proper buildup. Emotional scenes appear abruptly, and character motivations become unclear. The climax, in particular, feels unfinished-almost as if the film suddenly decided to end without resolving key conflicts.

Another noticeable downside is the music. A stronger background score or memorable songs could have significantly enhanced the viewing experience, especially during emotional or romantic moments. Instead, the music here feels generic and forgettable, doing little to support the storytelling.

Despite its issues, #Single is not without merit. It has a lot going for it in terms of comedic value, and for audiences looking for a fun, laid-back entertainer, it offers enough to make for a decent one-time watch. Its relatable theme and strong lead performances compensate to a good extent for its narrative shortcomings.

The film could have been much more impactful had the screenplay maintained its consistency throughout and taken time to flesh out the emotional arcs. With a tighter script and better musical support, #Single had the potential to be a standout rom-com. As it stands, it's an uneven ride that delivers laughs in abundance but struggles to land emotionally.

Single (2025) : Movie Review -

Single, also referred to as #Single, is silly on many occasions, but never loses its grip on the comedic platter. The film, however illogical it may be in its storytelling, gains momentum through numerous pop culture moments that every cinema lover would enjoy. From Pushpa 2, Geetanjali, Premalu, Prema song, Prabhas, Salman Khan, Adhi Da Surprisu (yes, when Ketika Sharma is there), and whatnot-it serves maximum pop culture references for cine buffs. It's a dated story elevated by highly clever parodic moments.

Single follows the story of a single guy, Vijay (Sree Vishnu), who is desperate to mingle. He spots Purva (Ketika Sharma) and instantly falls in love. To get her attention, he poses as a customer at her showroom. During one of his stunts to impress Purva, he accidentally saves Harini (Ivana), who instantly falls for him. In short, Vijay is chasing Purva, who barely notices him, while Harini is chasing Vijay, who is oblivious to her affection. Who will end up with whom?

Single is a love triangle, and naturally, it's messy. Love triangles are always messy-unless you go the intellectual route like Casablanca (1942) or Thoovanathumbikal (1987). Single falls into the usual trap and becomes illogical at times. Why would a guy go to such lengths for a girl who clearly doesn't care for him? And why would another girl chase a guy who's chasing someone else? That's not mature-and ironically, Vijay, behaving immaturely and foolishly, keeps calling himself a mature man. That's terrible writing. Thankfully, there's so much fun and comedy that you overlook these flaws. The screenplay keeps things moving, nailing the comic elements-from parody and modern jokes to double meanings and social media memes about single boys. The wedding scene at the end is an absolute blast. The guy chasing one girl ends up surrounded by exes and then walks off to Prema song. You're going to love that.

Sree Vishnu is solid in the lead role, and Vennela Kishore aces his typical comic timing in every scene. Ketika Sharma looks simple and beautiful-nothing like her steamy avatar from Adhi Da Surprisu. Ivana is adorable and charming; her temple scene is going viral on social media, and it's easy to see why. VTV Ganesh gets a few low-brow gags and does okay, and the rest of the supporting cast is decent.

Caarthick Raju's direction isn't top-tier, but his vision as a screenplay writer delivers. The story falters at times, but he quickly picks up the scattered pieces to regain momentum. The film packs genuinely funny moments and is made specifically for single boys and girls who are familiar with pop culture riffs from the film industry. Watch it with a group of friends-it's more fun that way because someone (or everyone) will relate to at least one scene. The cinematography is decent, the music is average, and the editing keeps the narrative engaging. Watch it with your gang if you're okay with spoofy comedy without a solid script.

RATING - 6/10*
