"Paathshala" is a low-budget film starring newbies, but the attempt of the makers to select its cast and crew members using Facebook has garnered a lot of attention.
Released in theatres across the globe on Friday, 10 October, the film has received rave reviews from the audience, who described it as a unique attempt and a new-age Tollywood flick.
Many viewers opine that "Paathshala" is not a regular masala entertainer. The movie has an interesting theme, "Friendship is not about whom you have known the longest. It is about who came and never left your side." Though a few Telugu films have already been made on the subject, this film touches a different angle, which will impress the viewers.
Besides direction, Mahi V Raghav has also penned story and screenplay for the movie, "Paathshala", which is about five friends. The subject will impress the young film-goers, who can relate themselves with many scenes in the film.
Produced by Rakesh Mahankali and Pavan Kumar Reddy, "Paathshala" features Nandu, Bhupathi Raju, Karthik, Anupriya, Salma, Shashank, Sirisha, Surya, Hamid and Sandhya in major roles. Raghav's interesting concept, lead actors' performances, Rahul Raj's music, Sudheer Surendran's cinematography and its exotic locales are the main highlights of the film, according to viewers.
