Director Gunasekhar's Telugu movie Euphoria starring Sara Arjun, Bhumika Chawla, and Gautham Menon has received positive reviews and ratings from the audience.
Euphoria is a social thriller film, which explores the hard-hitting reality of youth, the impact of toxic peer pressure, and the responsibility of parents in upbringing. The movie has been written and directed by Gunasekhar and is produced by Neelima Guna and Yuktha Guna under the banner Guna Handmade Films.
The story follows Chaitra (Sara Arjun), an aspiring IAS topper whose life is upended after a pub party incident, focusing on the aftermath of a heinous crime committed by five teenage boys.
Euphoria has a good storyline with some burning social issues. The first half is engaging and entertaining, but the second half is not so convincing. Sara Arjun, Bhumika Chawla have delivered superb performances, which are the highlights of the movie. Dialogues, picturization and music are the attractions on the technical front, say the audience.
Here are some audience reviews and ratings of Euphoria shared on X:

Watched #EUPHORIA , a film based on a sensitive subject and real-life incident, presented with a unique narrative. The climax is impactful. Congratulations to Gunasekhar garu and the entire team for this meaningful effort. @Gunasekhar1 @GunaaTeamworks

#EUPHORIA First Half - Holds Well First half is engaging with a handful of disturbing scenes. Even though plenty of cinematic liberties have been taken, the intent to tell a hard-hitting incident is clear and holds interest. The courtroom scenes could have had more depth, which is a clear miss. Decent so far! #EUPHORIA Review: Only First Half Works After a largely engaging and sincere first half built around a hard hitting incident, the film turns clueless in the second half. The mother angle used to drive the narrative feels neither convincing nor engaging in what was meant to be a thought provoking social attempt. Gunasekhar had a strong setup and a real chance to deliver an impactful film but the opportunity slips away in the latter half. Watch it for the social intent. Rating: 2.25/5

#EUPHORIA - 1st Half There is no 'good touch,' only bad touch in today's society. A brutally honest dialogue by Gautham Vasudev Menon and one of the film's most powerful moments Excellent second half #Euphoria is a sure-shot theatrical watch A strong comeback for @Gunasekhar1 Garu Can't reveal much about the climax, but the impact is truly powerful. Kudos to the entire team

#Euphoria so far 1st half Powerful and intense first half with strong emotional moments. The Bhoomika son scene hits hard, and the impact-driven narration keeps things gripping. Ends on a solid high at the interval, leaving you invested.
Surya @Surya918204
A gripping and emotional courtroom drama that stands strong against power and manipulation, driven by Bhoomika's heartfelt mother son bond, a sincere redemption arc, and a quietly devastating climax that stays with you.#Euphoria
@avinash2120
Vikas elevation peaks asalu And then Bhoomika's powerful portrayal of a mother choosing reform over revenge is the heart of the film. It avoids melodrama, delivering a fresh arc and a climax that truly lingers. A must-watch for its emotional depth! #Euphoria

#Euphoria: Gunasekhar's attempt to showcase today's youth, families, and society is commendable and largely works. The first half is racy and tight, the second half stumbles a bit, but the climax lands well. Vignesh delivers a neat performance. Watch it.

#EuphoriaReview Strong start, intense drama & a hard-hitting climax First half grips, music by Kaala Bhairava elevates the mood Second half rushes into a new plot and loses balance. Flawed but impactful cinema from Guna Sekhar. #Euphoria #SaraArjun #BhumikaChawla
