Srivathsan Nadadhur The Hindu Despite its shortcomings, 8 Vasantalu isn’t a lazy effort. It has a surreal visual texture (cinematography by Vishwanath Reddy) and a story that has a lot to unpack; just that the balance doesn’t come through effectively. Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix 8 Vasantalu makes an effort to be an epic love story, but the movie's editing and narrative are too choppy. Most of this drama is dreadfully boring.

prasanna kumar d To 29.07.2025 Mr. Phanindra Narsetti – Director & Writer Visakhapatnam Ms. Ananthika Sanilkumar – Lead Actress and 8 Vasantalu Team Subject: Heartfelt Appreciation for 8 Vasantalu Movie in Telugu Language Dear Mr. Narsetti and Ms. Sanilkumar, I hope this message finds you both in great spirits. I am writing to express my sincere admiration for your beautiful film, 8 Vasantalu, which released on June 20, 2025. This film left a lasting impression with its poetic storytelling, evocative visuals, and deeply affecting emotional moments. Firstly, Ms. Sanilkumar, your portrayal of Shuddhi Ayodhya is nothing short of remarkable. Despite being just seventeen at the time of signing the role, you delivered a performance marked by emotional depth, grace, and maturity. Your expressive presence and conviction brought both strength and vulnerability to the character—and truly anchored the narrative. Mr. Narsetti, as the writer director, your creative vision shaped this film into an introspective journey. The narrative’s poetic cadence, layered symbolism across eight springs of transformation, and strong thematic focus on self discovery set 8 Vasantalu apart in Telugu cinema. While critics noted the pace slows in the second half, many also recognized your lucid ambition, meaningful dialogue, and the sincerity of your artistic intention. The technical virtues of the film deserve special mention as well: Vishwanath Reddy’s cinematography renders Ooty, Kashmir, and Varanasi exquisitely, lifting every frame into something painterly and immersive. Hesham Abdul Wahab’s music and score weave seamlessly into the narrative, enhancing the emotional beats with subtle lyricism. Together with the entire cast and crew—including supporting performers, the production design, editing, and choreography—you created a film that genuinely feels like a cinematic poem. While some reviews mentioned uneven moments in character consistency or pacing in the second half, the general consensus highlights the film’s visual beauty, strong lead performance, and thoughtful dialogue as standout elements. In summary, 8 Vasantalu is a feel good, aspirational film—visually rich, narratively poetic, and emotionally resonant. It’s a rare achievement to balance artful storytelling with heartfelt characters, and I want to congratulate you both for bringing such a project so beautifully to the screen. Thank you for your dedication, creativity, and hard work. My heartfelt appreciation extends to everyone involved. I look forward to your future work with eager anticipation. Warmest regards, CA Prasanna Kumar D Visakhapatnam Mobile No.8978918337 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review Lucky01 First half is good Second half didn’t engage me Visuals are beautiful Score enhances the mood Dialogues are good,though a bit over at times Casting isn't perfect Lead actress performs well Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Read all reviews
