      This is some movie which makes childhood beautiful

      My son watches this movie like anything.

      All the cast are blessed to act in this kind of movie.

      Such a heart warming movie

      Though the entire plot of the movie is a little sympathetic and tragic, movie is mostly set in a light hearted mood.

      Terrific cast. Heart touching and moving. All the actors especially the kids did a wonderful job which takes the movie to another level.

      Makes me cry every time i watch this movie. Such an innocent and engaging movie.

      Iconic telugu film with 90's charm, innocence and heart

      This is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. The story is heartwarming, the music is soulful and the actors are iconic.

      I watched it again in 2023, and it made me realize what films are about - making people feel emotions, see other people's lives, feel grateful for what we have that other characters don't.

      It's disheartening that movies like this are hardly being made now. I hope the producers come up with a 4k version and release it on Netflix or Prime, because several 90's kids hold this film close to their heart and would love to show it to their children and keep it alive.

      This is a beautiful movie, and it's our responsibility to cherish and pass onto next generations.

      My childhood dream

      It was like a dream movie in my childhood. We didn't have the luxury of watching our favorite movies during my school days around 1996-2000. We could only watch whatever was available on TV, often at friends' homes who had cable connections with channels like ETV and Gemini. We could only watch this movie if it aired on any channel. Whenever this movie aired, those times felt dreamlike.

      Gunnam Gangaraju is an amazing director, on par with our generation's Tier-1 directors like SSR. Every dialogue in this movie is spot on. The acting of the children, not to mention Kota Sir and Brahmi, is next level. Yesterday, when we watched this movie again, my wife cried almost 4-5 times. I hope the makers of this movie release a 4K version so I can re-watch it again and again, even after 30 years. I am sure no movie like this will ever come out of TFI.

      Finally, I want to thank Gunnam Gangaraju Sir for making my childhood memorable with movies like this.
