What about Ante Athreya...

[Pratik]

I prefer Ante Sundariniki over that Sanivaaram.

[Suraj]

Yeah, Saripodha was super cliche.

[Vaishali]

Very obvious. Even with good writing, Ante Sundaraniki flopped, so the producers probably didn't want him to be too clever.

[Kunal]

He isn't wrong, tbf. As a non-Telugu, I enjoyed both films, but Ante Sundaraniki's story and writing were really good. I was surprised to learn it flopped in cinemas.

[Namrata]

Nani over-hyped the movie before release. After watching it on day one I was completely disappointed, but after seeing the director's comment I'm glad he's realised it.

[Aryan]

Saripodha was heavily carried by MD, SJ Suriya and Nani. Vivek Athreya's work felt weak. Ante needed a better editor who could have trimmed about ~20 mins to keep it engaging.

[Harry]

I enjoyed both, and Athreya shows potential for a hardcore drama, but Sanivaaram was only decent at best - some cool use of Chekhov's gun, but nothing too interesting, just the same old saviour trope.

[Kunal]

I hope Sailesh Kolanu realises this about HIT 3.

[Payal]

Isn't that obvious?
