met 2 deadlines today and giving myself a break. Going to live tweet manasantha nuvve (might not finish the whole film today though because more work is there smh) but ya.
Literally 50 seconds in and the mother says "evarekkadundaalo akkade undaali". Telugu cinema casteism zindabad smh
Wow. He literally picked the paavuram and said "koora ondu raa, mandhu loki baavuntadhi" and made baby Chanti run in the rain for that fucking hell
Spl mention to their friendship. Cute and wholesome af

Omg I forgot he stole the Hanumanthudu idol from the temple for her I'm cryingff already

I want to go give baby Chanti a hug rn. Tbh he gets the best adoptive parents
K they're also projecting feelings of their dead son onto Chanti. Still, they love him and that's what matters

Chanti's childhood olympic sprinting skills have now become Wicket Keeping skills. Also whistles for the entry of mana hero 


Of course the grandmother hates Chanti. Okay I've to start calling him Venu now
Throwback to cassette shops. Uncle should have diversified his business now
Venu being a typical Telugu boy in the early 2000s by kissing a gift his childhood sweetheart gave and playing the harmonium around the city to unsuspecting bystanders
"aa ammayi naakosam vasthundhi, aa nammakam naaku undhi". Nammakam feelz

Meanwhile Anu be hanging out in Malaysia having banter with Baava and Baava is feeling louv feels of course
Cue Aakasanaaaaaaaa, egire mainaaaaaaa, neetho ranaaaaaaaaaa, oohala painaaaaaaaaaaa
@eraserheadass Anu's baava is wearing denim on denim, you know what that meansssss
2 songs in and this soundtrack is still an ABSOLUTE BANGER. Probably one of the only films which I've live tweeted aside from Kushi where I'm 100% sure I'm not going to fast forward a single song
Sunil is suspecting Chandra Mohan of having a 2nd family ippudu wow.
Proud of the girl who yelled at the men in the crowd after the accident.
"inka karishma kapoor enti, aa pilla chellelu kareena kapoor occhindhi, aame stills theeyandi"
Youthful Telugu boys were always idiots smh
Venu also judging the girls for not knowing managala haarathi. Proud of Sruthi for making him sing, he's being one small know it all bitch no.
"maa chellela function lo vinnanu, ee chellela function lo paadanu". Viluvalu max

spl mention to Anu's baava for not being a piece of shit and forcing her to marry him and instead hardcore supporting her love for Chanti.
Cue my favourite song of the film - Cheppave Premaaaaa
find yourself a friend/cousin like Arun who is more invested in your love story than you yourself only
Yaaas mana Anu who is now Renu is doing film reference inside film reference because manasanthaaa nuvveeeee
Renu
Venu

FUCK I forgot he had earbuds in his ears. Chanti you fucking idiot.
"Hai! Happy Married Life! Bojaanalu ekkada?" - Sunil is me at every single wedding function I've ever attended
Anu's Spidey senses for Chanti are the same as Jaya Bachchan's for Shahrukh in K3G
Amma ee abbayaliki burra lekapoyina meeku undhi kadha, why to listen to their hairbrained plots baah
Fathers and sons drinking together having wholesome conversation where father is appreciating son is an art lost in the Telugu industry today cha.
Taagi you gave the watch off to Sruthi. Why are you being like this Venu, why are you leading that nice girl on and losing your watch at the same time 


spidey-senses are tingling
(Yes I know she can hear the watch but let's face it, she has spidey senses for Venu)
(Yes I know she can hear the watch but let's face it, she has spidey senses for Venu)
Paapam now Anu's heart also broke and she wants to fuck off to London also
Men are doing next level misogyny in the program. Good job Anu for saying "Mic dorakangaane politicians laa maatladuthaarenti ee mogallu". Nijamga ippude if we feel like men are shitty paapam aa time lo ela undedho
Clearly Chanti's spidey senses aren't nearly as defined as Anu's. Aa face lo ne you can see he's thinking "yov why is this lady looking at me and yelling"
Yaaay misconception cleared and Chanti loves Anu but obviously because this is a Telugu movie she can't tell him directly and will choose to mess with him for a while because inko ganta run avvali kadha mana film
"Maa devudu meedha nammakam undhi naaku". I'm sorry Chanti, as an atheist I don't share your optimism but I'm still rooting for your love buddy
Now Venu's smart ideas Anu will also follow because he said nenu cheppanu nenani, so thanu koda cheppadhu. Communication skills are at peaks
Also, can we talk about how much RP Patnaik's voice sounds like Uday Kiran's voice? It's like if Uday Kiran had a singing voice. Love it so much
only for @endo_emo "Manishane vaadu inni idlilu thintaada? Okati theesey!"
I am Sunil in this film because no vinadam, only thinadam
Again jobless asshole female-harrassing fellow showed up. Aina if at least a couple of these fellows don't show up, is it even a Telugu film in the 2000s?
Sister is doing peak Telugu behaviour and giving the new guest an unasked for house-tour which ultimately ends up in Venu's room because why not
ANU PLS THERE IS SUCH A THING AS INVASION OF PRIVATE SPACE HOW LONG WILL I MAKE EXCUSES FOR YOU WOMAN
special appreciation post for Reema Sen's Salwars throughout the film. lowkey wish I had those aesthetics
Mana Anu is being a sly voyeur. Good on you for subverting the male gaze gurl (even though it's going to come back onto you in a few minutes smh)
Future Maama-Kodalu bonding appreciation post (while the mother is obviously giving muddulu to her son)
Our pro-romance non-creepy baava has re-entered the chat. Supporting character aina, baa touch chesaadu. Rooting for his success
of course money-minded UC father wants to get his daughter married to MLA's son. At least konchem conflict has to be there
Sister is nicely stirring conflict in parents life by asking about mother's first love. Manchi idea to get gossip from parents I suppose
MLA literally says "Kottha election banner laaga kalakalalaadipothondhi" about Anu. Question, do all politicians talk in political metaphors only?
Mother literally says "Neeku cheppakunda pelli vaalani pilavadam maa thappantaava?"
YES AUNTY OBVIOUSLY, FOR ALL YOU KNOW ANU COULD HAVE BEEN HALFWAY TO ARAKU BY NOW JEEZ
YES AUNTY OBVIOUSLY, FOR ALL YOU KNOW ANU COULD HAVE BEEN HALFWAY TO ARAKU BY NOW JEEZ
Father said "nee manasulo inkevaraina unte cheppu" and at that point in time even 7 year old me knew it was a fucking trap
Tbh I'd also have the same reaction if I was going to see my friends the following sunday but alas, lockdown valla, no ganthulu, no ekaikalu pakapakalu
as great as the songs are, RIP choreography.
As much as I hate him, Tanikella sir's evil father character is on point. Controlling anger internally
SUNIL SAID IT. HE SAID THAT DIALOGUE BEFORE IT WAS A CLICHE - "Appudappudu varsham koda manaki ki chaala mel chesthundhi raa, mana kanneellu edhuti vaallaki kanapadakunda daachesthundhi"
Sunil is one true best friend
Sunil is one true best friend
WHERE IS OUR CURRENT GENERATION'S DEPICTIONS OF WHOLESOME MALE FRIENDSHIPS?!
I can't remember the last time I saw a guy cry to his friends on screen
I can't remember the last time I saw a guy cry to his friends on screen
Let's face it, mana Sruthi akka is the true hero of the story. These two idiots wouldn't stand a chance at communicating if it weren't for her
Despite all her useless schemes to try to see Venu's feels for her, she's still smart enough to jump off at the right moment at the bus stop. Enthaina Anu is logical in some ways
Finally a man with a spine. I'm proud of you nameless boy who is the son of the guy who works for Anu's father. Nee perento theleedhu kaani ekkado touch chesaavu raa.
Nee sneham has started, and just as promptly, my tears have too
Alright folks, that's it for today. Personally I'm surprised I ended up watching the whole film but I couldn't stop myself with this nostalgia high
@/nobodyaskedok I also want your final thoughts on the film on Instagram pls
