Young hero Sharwanand, who was last seen in 2017, as he scored a comic superhit in the form of Mahanubhavudu, is back on screens after an year, pairing with Sai Pallavi, in Padi Padi Leche Manasu, directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, who had last directed the disastrous Lie. Here's team AP Herald's exclusive first on net Padi Padi Leche Manasu review.


The movie begins in Nepal, where Surya(Sharwanand) is seen narrating his story to a cop, and the scene shifts to Kolkata, where Surya gets to encounter the cute and bubbly Vaishali (Sai Pallavi), and Surya tries to woo her, and as everything goes smooth, a sudden turn of events lead to Surya and Vaishali getting distanced, and Surya tries to win Vaishali's heart yet again. Whether Surya got back his love Vaishali or not, is what Padi Padi Leche Manasu is all about.


As is the case with almost all her movies, pimple beauty Sai Pallavi is the life and soul of Padi Padi Leche Manasu, and delivers a strong and intense performance, portraying a wide range of emotions, and makes her character Vaishali a memorable one. Sharwanand plays a subtle character, and within his limitations, succeeds in presenting his role of Surya in an appealing manner. Veterans Murali Sharma and Suhasini are cast well, while Vennela Kishore is humorous. The rest of the cast including Priya Raman and Noel are adequate.


Vishal Chandrasekhar's BGM is pulsating and his romantic bits are soothing and haunting, while of his songs, Kallolam, Padi Padi Leche, Hrudhayam Jaripe and Emaoi Poyave are hum worthy and are sure to rule playlists for long. Cinematography by Jay Kay is stunning and captures the lovely visuals of Kolkata and Kathmandu in an appealing manner, making Padi Padi Leche manasu a visual treat. Editing by A Sreekar Prasad could have been taut. After impressing with romance in Andala Rakshasi and Krishna Gadi Veera Prema gadha, director Hanu Raghavapudi tried his hands on action in Lie and the experiment backfired as the movie was a disaster.



Now, Hanu is back to his home ground of romance, and with a good lead pair, he's struck silver screens with Padi padi leche Manasu. The first half of the movie moves on a leisurely pace, with some cliches that are however compensated by stunning visuals, and the second half, though has many cute moments, and romantic episodes, the placement of songs and drags in many conversational sequences are an issue of concern. With Sharwa and Sai Pallavi performing very well, and with a strong support cast, rich visuals, Hanu Raghavapudi could have taken some efforts to come up with even more interesting love story and conflict points, and despite all the drawbacks, Padi Padi Leche Manasu ends up below average.
