Analysis:
The makers of SVSC have made it possible of bringing two top stars Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu together and Srikanth Addala managed to show very good chemistry between the lead stars. Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu works for its perfect casting. Despite the wafer-thin line story, excellent performances by the entire cast are the major asset. Mahesh Babu has pulled off the role with ease and his comic timing is amazing. Srikanth Addala has succeeded in showing the beautiful bond between the bothers and emotions and relationships in a family. The narration goes in a cool manner with no major twists or twirls in the story but the film is realistic and convincing without any cinematic drama. The ambiance in joint families and healthy relationships is naturally shown through the main character Prakash Raj that will definitely connect well with the family audiences. While the first half movies at a good pace, it’s the second half that gets a bit slow. The characters are introduced in the first half and the story begins only in the second half but there are feel good heart touching moments all through the SVSC. We get to watch top stars sharing the screen space very rarely and Srikanth Addala utilizez the opportunity in making it a feel-good drama.
