Traditions over practicality

Srinivasa Kalyanam is a traditional family drama where emotions work in parts. Lack of conflict, youthful elements and not so engaging drama take the film down after a while. The film is clearly for the family audience as the film suits their mentalities. As Dil Raju has packaged the film with an a...(more)

More preaching and few good moments do not a good film make.

The fact that the filmmakers seem massively confused on the difference between prenuptial agreements and divorce papers, viewing them both as the same, by the end of the film is lost in midst the overblown and super melodramatic climax.

There are certain romantic moments and family sequences that work to an extent. But it is sad not to see such well-written scenes throughout the film.

A feel-good watchable family drama with an overripe climax!

A film as such doesn't need any conflicts and it is fine to be bland sometimes. Only when you try hard to make it tasty, you spoil the fun. Not every climax needs to have a friction. The conflict towards the end looked force-fitted and totally unnecessary. If not for a stagy climax, the film would h...(more)
