Performance: Rao Ramesh carried the film Prati Roju Pandage on his shoulders. After Rao Ramesh, other characterizations worked well are Sathyaraj and Raashi Khanna. Sai Dharam Tej delivers his fantastic performance. He carries his role with ease in an energetic way. Sai Dharam Tej’s shirtless fight is highlighted. Raashi Khanna who is playing TikTok celebrity Angel Aarna looks cute on the screen. The rest of the cast justifies their roles.
Technical: All the songs composed by SS Thaman are good and the background score elevates the scenes. The Cinematography work is highlighted and the colorful frames are the main asset. Production Values of GA2 Creations are rich. Action sequences and dances are choreographed well. The storyline of the movie is simple but interesting. The first half of Prati Roju Pandage is as predictable but the comedy has its moments. Editing is ok. The entire family is seen doing comedy when Satya Raj is on the death bed. There is ample scope to generate heart touching moments, but Maruthi Dsari missed it.
Analysis: Prati Roju Pandage is a family entertainer drama. The first half runs in a hilarious way and the second half starts with the excitement but disappoints the audiences as the movie turns farcical sentiment scenes, preachy until the end.
