Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu review: Chiranjeevi starrer garners mix response from audience

Director Anil Ravipudi's Telugu movie Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu (MSVG) starring Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara, has received mixed reviews and ratings from the audience around the world.

Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu is a family comedy drama film, which has been written by Anil Ravipudi. The movie is about a security officer who is protecting his estranged wife and kids from a vengeful ex-cop. He sees it as a chance to rebuild their relationship after six years apart.

Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu has a thin storyline, but it will impress a family audience. The first half of the movie is passable, but Chiranjeevi's comic timing makes it an interesting watch. The film picks up the speed at the interval, but the second half falls flat, say the audience.

Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara have delivered brilliant performances, which are the highlights of Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu. Venkatesh's comedy timing is another attraction of the film. The movie has decent production values, and the picturization and music are the highlights on the technical front, say the audience.

#ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru - Chiru's Screen Presence & Energy makes this a Pure 1 Man show. Nayan ok. Venky's Cameo Fun. Gud Songs & Visuals. 'Sundari' Seq is lovely. Thr r mix of Genuine & Cringe Comedies; Yet Narration manages to Engage to an extent. A TOLERABLE Entertainer!

Done with the first half. A complete entertainer with megastar's one man show. Entertainment and emotion worked out really well. Love track is entertaining too. Most entertaining film of the megastar after his comeback!  Anil Ravipudi definitely knows the strength (both class and mass) of the megastar. #ManaShankaraVaraPrasad delivers exactly what it promises - a festive entertainer with just the right touch of emotion. The Sundari… song is beautifully used as a love track for the lead pair. The Megastar looks dashing and entertains throughout with unique characterisation. Nayanthara looks gorgeous and impresses by dubbing for herself. Venkatesh's cameo is pure fun. Chiru - Venky combo: A lively medley, a song, engaging banter, and a rousing action-packed finale complete the package. Anil Ravipudi plays to his strengths with a simple story and highly entertaining narration. A sure-shot Sankranthi blockbuster!  The beauty of Anil Ravipudi's films lies in how they appeal to every section of the audience - especially kids, women, and the masses. The Bulliraju episodes are a big hit with children, the emotional portions strongly connect with women, and the hero's false-harassment-cases dialogues strike a chord with men. With every film, his popularity, goodwill, and box-office collections keep compounding! #ManaShankarVaraPrasadGaru will be his career's biggest blockbuster

#ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru Passable 1st Half! Starts off a bit shaky but gradually gets better. Good music and an energetic performance by Chiru with his trademark timing stand out. Comedy works in bits. Nothing out of the ordinary, but it stays watchable so far. #ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru An Average Comedy Entertainer that is carried by Chiru's performance but only entertains in parts! The first half is passable and brings out Chiru's comedy timing after a long gap. However, the second half, which starts on a decent note, falters with repetitive comedy that doesn't land, an ineffective villain track, and the much-hyped Venky sequence that feels superficial and fails to make an impact. The comedy works in parts but feels artificial in other portions. Chiru is excellent and shoulders the film almost entirely. It's a one-man show. Songs are good, but the BGM is subpar. This may work with a section of the audience and given the season, but the film had the potential to be much more. Just ok!

#Manashankaravaraprasadgaaru A Thin Storyline, Weak Second Half & A Usual Climax Are Minus. But A Strong Opening, Vintage Chiru Aura, Comic Timing, Nayan's Screen Presence, Situational Comedy & Entertaining Venky Episode Are Big Plus. A Festive Cinematic Experience #MustWatch
