Young protagonist Santosh Shobhan (Santosh) is doing films in a row. But, the victories are not coming. And how is Annie Manchi Sakunamule starring Nandini Reddy as the hero? After Evade Subramaniam, Mahanati, and Sita Ram movies, how is this movie produced by Swapna Cinema Company?
Anni Manchi Sakunamule Movie Story:

In Prasad’s house, Rishi is his son… Arya is his daughter in Sudhakar’s house. Are the parents aware that the children have changed? Or? What happened to the court cases? Did the acquaintance between Rishi and Arya turn into love? Or? What happened in the end? You have to watch the movie to know.
Anni Manchi Sakunamule Telugu Analysis:
No matter how times change, eras change… the bond and love between parents and children remain eternal. Parents & Children relationship never has an expiry date. Because of that reason… More movies are coming in this background. But… success comes when those love and emotions are told in a strong and new way to touch the hearts of the audience.
‘Anni Manchi Sakunamule’ is a good title. The promotional images have created a positive vibe about the film. But… the moment the movie starts, instead of that vibe, we get the feeling that the story we have already seen is coming to the screen. Because… the starting scenes are reminiscent of ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramulo’. The film was made on the concept of changing children in the hospital.
If there are two boys… Here is a girl, a boy! After that, the movie itself will not be anything new. Already the scenes that we have seen in many movies come to the screen. But… the comedy quote gets passed right. Once the second half starts, those familiar scenes test our patience until the climax is near. Emotions were screened a little stronger in the flagging scenes. They are heart-touching.
Court cases and quarrels are shown but… the sincerity of the director and writers and a strong point are not seen in it. The love scenes between the hero and heroine also lack depth. It is better to avoid the scenes where all the family members dance to the songs in the old movies at the wedding. They are not useful except to bore the audience and increase the length.
Are the movie and the scenes impressive? Or? That aside… Nandini Reddy and the writing team have done a good job in terms of characterizations. It is implied in some scenes that the father’s personality comes to the girl and the mother’s personality comes to the boy.

A good story and scenes would have come out if the writing team had worked on a new point. The cinematography is good. There are no memorable songs in Mickey J Mayer’s music. Background music is good in some scenes. Construction values are high. Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt stayed strong.
Anni Manchi Sakunamule Movie Actors Performance:
How well does Santhosh Shobhan do if he gets the right scene? Flag scenes are an example of this. At least one or two… the emotional scenes are very well done. He was once again praised as a boy who was always happy and scolded by his father. Malavika Nair looked new in terms of looks compared to previous movies. She was also impressed as an actress. Rao Ramesh, Naresh, Rajendra Prasad, Shaukaru Janaki… all the senior & seasonal artists have adapted to the roles. Seeing Gautami in the role of a mother is a bit refreshing.
Vasuki of ‘Tholiprema’ fame is good in the role of the hero’s sister. She may get offers to do sister roles to star heroes. The boy who played the hero’s brother-in-law was dubbed by Rahul Ravindran. The dubbing was highlighted more than his acting. ‘Vennela’ Kishore appeared in some scenes as Vasuki’s husband. Urvashi and ‘Rangasthalam’ Mahesh’s range of roles is also less in the story. Just used for a twist.
Finally what? : A bit of comedy before the interval, then again the emotional climax at the end is good. If you look at the parts, the movie seems okay. But, as a story, it is difficult to connect. Same old routine stuff! Let’s wait for the OTT release!
