Chitralahari movie review and rating by audience: Live updates

Director Kishore Tirumala's Telugu movie Chitralahari (Chithralahari) starring Sai Dharam Tej, Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nivetha Pethuraj has received mixed reviews and ratings from the audience.

Chitralahari is a romance drama that is high on emotional quotient. Kishore Tirumala has written the script and dialogues for the movie, which has been produced by Naveen Yerneni, Mohan Cherukuri and Ravi under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers. The film has received a U certificate and its runtime is 2.30 hours.

Chitralahari movie story: The film is about Vijay (Sai Dharam Tej), who is a loser in life. Despite having good and innovative ideas, this youngster encounters failure in his life. His attempts to succeed in life form the crux of the movie.

Analysis: Kishore Tirumala has chosen a routine subject for Chitralahari, but he has given a fresh touch to it. The first half is good in parts, but routine comedy, familiar love song and story mar its beauty. The film gains momentum before the interval and second half is good, say the audience:

#Chitralahari is a well thought, well scripted & a well narrated film that connects to d soul of the audience... Dir #Kishoretirumala has made a sensible film keeping his creative instincts to highlight the subject matter rather than clinging to the commercial aspects, which made this film an appreciable experience... It's a must watch for the present day youth... The only hindrance is it's slow pace but it's ok... @IamSaiDharamTej character appeared as a tailor made role for him which he performed with ease... Overall a good film...

#Chitralahari : Good First Half Positives: Sai Tej honest performance Very good dialogues Songs 4-5 hilarious and heart touching sequences Interval train episode Negatives: Heroines scenes are very artificial SDT looks like Manchu Manoj due to over weight #Chitralahari FDFS Updates My Dad Is My Hero ❤️ Scenes between SDT and Posani. Biggest USP of the movie #Chitralahari : A very honest film. Decent 1st half and a very good emotional second half. Watch it. Positives: Dialogues, very genuine performance by SDT, songs, father and son sequences, @vennelakishore comedy Negatives: Editing, Kalyani character would have been better

Survi‏ @PavanSurvi

Well, three good scenes and one good dialogue cannot make for an engaging film. The screenplay beats can be similar but the content should have been more and more intrusive to know. #Chitralahari

Sai‏ @sai2vts

#Chitralahari Good watch, Dialogues, Father son track, few comedy scenes, 2 half>>>1 half. Sai Tej's performance and dialogues standout.. Kishore Tirumula hero characterisation and dialogues mathram kumadu, basic ga 80% youth jeevhalaki ki degira ga unde role padindi Sai Tej ki.. recent times lo Dsp best work BGM wise #Chitralahari

#Chitralahari - A wasted opportunity !! STD nd Sunil performance, production values, BGM are the positives but couldn't help the film to be worth watching. Ps : definitely Better than the previous films of SDT ..
