    A film to be lauded for the effort...

    There is a changing wave in Indian film industry right now. Directors are coming out of the regular commercial movie formula and trying to make good films, tell good stories. And I think they are not getting all the praise they truly deserve. Krish is one such director.

    I became a huge fan of his work with Vedam, and with Kanche he did not disappoint me. Krish is not one of the stupid directors who make films where hero can punch a guy and he flies 20 feet away hits a wall and falls in the same place where he stood a couple of slow mo shots earlier. He makes films with relatable characters which are very universal and a very good story line. I will not rate Kanche better than Vedam or Gamyam. But Kanche is far better than any of the stupid commercial films which are being poured on to the audience. And it deserves to be glorified for the attempt of the movie makers. It has a sublime story and a universal theme.

    Plus : All actors are really good. especially varun tej, damn it did not look as if it was his second film at all. I have high hopes for him. He is a new actor and it is really nice to see him trying to act in different films instead of just commercial movies. I hope he grows much more as an actor. Pragya Jaiswal was really nice too. Elegant and beautiful. Music was good. and dialogs better. Story line was good.

    Minus: Foreign actors. Below average acting and really really bad dubbing. It seemed to me some NRI had dubbed for them. Screenplay could have been tight. May be color of the film could have been more vintage.

    Still, Kanche is a really good film. It is one of those films which you need to collect and can watch many number of times and still find some thing sublime which you missed the first time.

    A very good path breaking movie in Telugu film industry

    As usual Director Krish came up with a really good heart touching story line, unlike a commercial movie.it's really a very good attempt, the idea of comparing caste based fights in small villages to world war-2 and showing that the thought process was same but only the impact is high is very good idea, kudos to the total team.

    Packed with Romance and Action thriller

    Movie is no doubt a masterpiece. Though some moments of the movie are boring, the final message given by the film is congenial for society. Screenplay is good. Movie is worth watching for once.

    a comparison between the local caste conditions and the world conditions at world war II time

    A nice attempt from the director krish who makes movies that live in heart. In this movie he took a complicated Indian situation and world war II and compared them with an amazing screen play and went in to the deep and finally touched every heart. the technical department did amazing work where camera work production values every thing went in an world class level. Coming to the casting Varu Tej the hero the in a Character Doopati Hari Babu showed a abnormal maturity in acting for his second movie itself got a tums up for his acting from the audience. Pragya Jaiswal as Seethamma devi did a good performance not only her Srinivas Avasarala as Dasu ,Nikitin Dheer as Colonel Eeshwar Prasad Gollapudi Maruthi Rao did a great performances in the movie. The music was good enough. The dialogue writer did a great job tied audience to seats. Finally the movie is a daring experiment in the Tollywood and it approached to the audience
