An honest effort which shines in parts

Evaluate: Properly-known cinematographer Garudavega Anji turned director with the movie tenth Class Diaries. Anji, who additionally dealt with the cinematography division, shines in his territory, particularly after the interval. It was an trustworthy effort, and he did a commendable job placing collectively a coming-of-age romantic comedy. The disadvantage of this film is its rhetorical theme, which the Telugu viewers has skilled repeatedly in movies – from Naa Autograph to current Janu. The varsity flashback within the first half wanted higher therapy and efficiency refinement. Nevertheless, the BGM by Chinna and the music composed by Suresh Bobbili of Virataparvam are respectable and attempt to amplify the emotion. The movie additionally threw gentle upon misogyny and false pleasure and honour which were plaguing sure sections of society. Based mostly on precise occasions, the movie will impress the viewers in components.

The camaraderie, timing and situational humour among the many old-fashioned mates Somu (Sriram), Gourav (Vennela Ramarao), Half Boil (Srinivas Reddy), Nagalakshmi (Himaja) and Soumya (Archana) will certainly make you chortle. Avika Gor as Chandini will shock the viewers along with her intense and dedicated efficiency, and traditional Nassar aced his function as a crude and nonchalant father. Whereas Bhanu, Rohini, Satya Krishna and Madhumita performed necessary components, the opposite solid included Tagubotu Ramesh, Gemini Suresh, Ambati Srinu, Jabardast Ramu, Chitram Srinu, Jabardast Borababu, Ganapati, Shivaji Raja, Rupa Lakshmi and Rajeswari Nair. The film, edited by Prawin Pudi, had choreography by Shekar and Vijay Bunny, fights by Jashuva Grasp and was designed by Ananth.

Like different movies coping with college days, this movie will even make you recollect your previous and convey again many reminiscences. Nevertheless, whereas the film succeeds in taking you again in time and making you recall treasured moments, its rhetorical theme, archaic screenplay and overarching feelings at locations turned its bane. What works in favour of the movie is its light-hearted humour, the bubbling feeling of affection, cinematic and peppy vibe after the interval and spectacular performances by the lead and supporting actors.
