Story of an underdog
Chitralahari is the emotional story of an underdog with some decent moments in both the halves. But the slow pace and serious tone of the film may not be liked by a section of the audience who come expecting entertainment. Because if this, the box office prospects of the film will also be tested. Having said that, the film is way better than Tej's previous duds and has some feel good moments which are quite relatable. The film can be easily given a shot once but just keep your expectations in check.(more)

Give it a chance this weekend without expectations, you might find the perfect summer watch.
Chitralahari if you don't mind rooting for the underdog umpteenth time on-screen, especially with a relatable story like this. Watch it especially for Sai Dharam Tej, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Nivetha Pethuraj and their honest performances. Give it a chance this weekend if you don't mind a sketchy narrative and you might just find the perfect summer watch. (more)

Mixed Chitram
It begins as a peppy youthful entertainer but ends as a preachy message-oriented movie. Nevertheless, it does have some moments here and there but they don't give an engaging feel.(more)

A few bright moments
Chitralahari has its moments, but the different thoughts and characters don't blend into a cohesive narrative. The final episode, thankfully, at least goes through a court debate and a warning before pronouncing the reckless Vijay Krishna as a hero. Is that enough? This can't be discussed without spoilers, so we'll save it for later.(more)
