Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu X reactions
An X user took to his social profile and wrote, ‘#ManaShankaraVaraPrasadGaru is a sureshot Sankranthi blockbuster, without a doubt.
Happy to see Chiranjeevi the way I know him. @AnilRavipudi knows what he’s doing, he stuck to Chiru’s strongest forte, comedy, and hit the ball out of the stadium. Irrespective of age, audiences had a great time in my show. A small kid sitting beside me cheering throughout the film just made my heart melt. This is how our movies should be. Anil brought back the innocent and funny Chiru with a little #Gharanamogudu touch in some scenes. Emotional scenes are written well. Music and BGM can be better, Chiru carries it with his screen presence. Writing and screenplay are at their best. The climax bit feels rushed, but it’s good enough. It’s Ravipudi’s Sankranthi again.’
Another user wrote, ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu is thoroughly @KChiruTweets’s show, supported by a well-placed cameo from Venkatesh, Nayanthara doing what she does best, and @AnilRavipudi’s trademark family-friendly comedy drama. The film kicks off straight away with the lead’s introduction, wasting no time on unnecessary setup. #Chiranjeevi once again proves why he’s an all-round performer—his comedy, humour, sarcasm, and action timing never misfire and work effectively here as well. Overall, a familiar yet decently handled commercial entertainer that plays to its strengths.’
