Film Companion

This Venkatesh Maha film, starring Subba Rao and Praveena Paruchuri, is a slow-burn romance with a twist that’s not just clever but also deeply moving.

The Times of India

C/O Kancharapalem raises a toast to sincere, uncinematic storytelling, gives power to those unheard regional voices and does its part in undoing the stereotypical portrayal of community-specific stories in Telugu cinema.

Rated: 4/5

It beautifully tells you how feminism is not only a subject that needs to be studied and understood, it's a philosophy that needs to be applied in real life, too.

One of the most unique movies I've watched ever. The screenplay was brilliant. Watching without any context would provide the best experience.

Though the individual stories are cliched, it's rooted in reality and the characters are real. Some thought-provoking questions about religion were raised too. The ending twist tied up all the loose ends beautifully.

Best Telugu movie which gives you the local taste of small events that happen around in a small area. The composition is superb with a twist at the end.
