Analysis
Anthaka Mundu Aa Tarvatha is an urbane
romantic entertainer in Indraganti Mohan Krishna’s trademark style with
clean entertainment. He succeeds as a director as well as writer. The
film is Indraganti’s take on why life after wedding is not the same as
before despite love marriage for many. The scenes are relatable; the
story/concept is fresh, narration is simplistic yet the screenplay is
engaging with matured handling.
The performances, lead pair chemistry,
music, dialogues complement the film’s story. The first half offers
entertainment with good one-liners while the second half is more of
emotional scenes. The climax has been very well handled and is heart of
the film though the pace has dropped in the post-interval scenes.
