A light hearted conventional film that works in few portions and just about manages to engage

The idea of the movie is quite simple and the director Nattu Dev does a decent job in delivering an output that would satisfy quite the majority. Technically too, Puppy is not bad at all. The true hero of the technicians seems like music director Dharan Kumar whose numbers are quite captivating and ...(more)

Despite a predictable storyline, Puppy engages decently with humor and swift screenplay.

The film could have engaged throughout as it does in the comedy scenes. A consistently funnier screenplay could have made the narrative more entertaining.

A harmless youth-friendly film that is mostly engaging with a few letdowns!

Going in-depth, the film leaves with mixed thoughts. A few scenes are long-drawn-out, but they end well with a clap-worthy dialogue.

May go well with certain types of audiences

Varun who was seen in small roles has graduated to a hero and has aptly chosen a subject and delivers a decent performance. However, he is loud at times and has one single expression throughout the film. Samyukta is adequate, although her character is underdeveloped. Yogi Babu is a revelation and it...(more)
