C/o Kancharapalem

I have seen about 4000 movies in my life. And this is one of the best that I have ever seen. It is one of the most satisfying endings. Probably in the top 10 or 20 of all time. What a phenomenal love story. I saw it in Telugu with English subtitles. I don't speak Telugu. Have never been to Andhra or Telangana. But I connected with every single character in this movie. Their fate and their tragedies really affected me. But the ending had my crying tears of joy. No, more than that - tears of humanity. One of the best films ever. This should be seen by the world.

I should start this review with "go watch it in the theatre. It's well worth your time and money."

It leaves such a wonderful after-taste even after you come out of a theatre. The way religion, love, sex and humanism are dealt with are commendable. The best part is getting everything together without hurting any communal sentiments. 2018 has been a golden year in telugu cinema and ths just proves the excellent transformation TFi is going through.

#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.

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.

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.
