Balaghal Ula Bi Kamaalihi

Naga Chaitanya easily delivers one of his career’s best performances with Revanth. He is handed a character that’s sensitive, polite, understanding of a girl’s boundaries and someone who’s not afraid to go the extra mile for love – and he pulls it off well. Sai Pallavi is a dream to watch when she dances but is a delight when she performs. You cringe whenever she cringes at a man’s touch, your heart breaks when she cries and it soars when she seems to find a trusting partner in Revanth. Rajeev Kanakala is given a role that’s beyond the usual villainism with dialoguebaazi. He remains dependable as ever and pulls off what’s needed of him. So are Easwari Rao and Uttej, people who want the best for Revanth yet find his plans foolhardy. Pawan Ch’s music adds to the texture of the film, so does Vijay C Kumar’s camerawork.
