    Instant Classic

    #COKancharapalem is one of the most stunningly original film that Telugu Cinema has ever produced. Ten minutes in to the film I knew that I was watching a classic and by the end of the film, there were just no words to describe and this film will be the most talked about film in not just Telugu film industry but also across India in 2018. There is so much to talk about this film, but I guess, it will speak for itself in the future.

    Overwhelming experience.A Gem of telugu cinema.

    I was having a lot of positive thoughts and expectations on this film, since it looked fresh and with rana backing it up and also my short film friend did a small role in this. I was excited, staying in mumbai it's hard for telugu films to release or release in wide scale , had a person who was willing to come , so it became easy and watching movie , the first 10 min itself i was mesmerized by the naturality and realistic way of taking.Movie is fully emotional, it makes you laugh and cry and finally leave you astonished at the end. You'll remember the characters all along the way back home, even now Iam not able to get through the movie's hangover. It has been 2 days , but it will be long before it to fade away. My final word is , this is a never before and never again kind of movie, so don't miss out in theatres. Proud time for telugu Cinema.

    Worth watching!

    A directors' kind of movie. The screenplay and narration amplified my attention throughout which is usually not the case with me and telugumovies of late! Finally heard some fresh lines and saw some cute faces! Acting was a spot on with a majority of them. LoveXSociety storyline happened in some outskirts of an emerging city was given and projected onto a new dimension. A great effort must have been put in to keep the costumes and accessories in coherence with the time. Although I wished a little more effort in sinking the dialect with the time should have been a great plus. Also the outragious demolition and the deaths for the two major belief-systems whereas a smooth weep-over for the third, might lose points in the fair lens of some. All in all a worth watching movie.

    Refreshingly New and Entertaining Story

    #C/OKancherapalem is a refreshing new take on life and Telugu cinema in general. Almost all commercially hit Telugu movies today are predictable when it comes to the story, the fight scenes and comedy. C/O Kancharapalem is a no non-sense, realistic portrayal of life in a village, and its characters are relatable to viewers of all ages and regions. The creativity of the story, its captivating depiction and its raw and natural humor sets it apart from everything else I've seen recently. Hoping this film will set new standards for authenticity and originality in cinema.

    The soul of Indian cinema shines through C/o Kancharapalem!

    C/O Kancharapalem is a beautifully told tale about the highs and lows of love in a small remote Indian village. From the very first frame, you cannot help but be drawn into this charming world and fall in love with the characters with all their endearing quirks and frailties. It is even more surprising to learn that none of the lead characters in the film were trained actors. This is truly a testament to up and coming director Maha Venkatesh who has masterfully directed this ode to love with a poetic elegance. The music of the film stays with you long after the final credits roll. This is Indian cinema at its simplest and finest.
