Decent Reviews for the Film
The film is directed by Anil Ravipudi. It features Chiranjeevi Konidala, Nayanthara, Catherine Tresa, Venkatesh, and Sachin Khedekar in key roles. Social media platforms are buzzing with generally positive reviews for the movie.
One viewer wrote, "Anil Ravipudi films have long become critic proof and Sankranthi favorites. I have given up nitpicking on this when clearly Anil Ravipudi is the master of this particular genre and he remains unapologetic about it. His new directorial has given him the opportunity to direct the Megastar and the best thing Anil Ravipudi has done is to strip Chiru off his Megastar image. Shankara Vara Prasad is someone who is made fun off till the very end by even his team members and it was fun to watch Chiru get along with it, while enjoying his heroic moments."
Another person commented, "First film of 2026 and interestingly, last year also began with Anil Ravipudi's movie. Paisa vasool entertainer mainly for families not really for youth. It may appeal only to a specific audience who enjoy this brand of comedy. Compared to Ravipudi's earlier films, it's not as entertaining as F2 or Sankranthiki Vastunam, but it's definitely better than F3."
