Movie Verdict
The plot isn’t particularly creative, but the illustrations of the characters will inspire you to come up with fresh ideas. The film’s opening is effective since it introduces all the main players at once. This really immerses the reader in the story and makes them feel like they’re there. Even though the second half’s mood and plot remain gloomy for a while, the conclusion is hilarious. Nonetheless, there were a few humorous moments in the opening act.
Farida was handed a golden opportunity to prove her worth as Vasuda, and she seized it with ease. In the same way, her comedic timing is impeccable. The rest of the cast, including Sudharshan, Bramhaji, and Sapthagiri, performed a fantastic job as well, especially with their comedic roles. Santhosh Shoban did a fantastic job overall in the role of Viplav, despite there being moments when he doesn’t quite shine.
Despite a few issues in the film’s second half, Venkatadri Express, Merlapaka Gandhi’s debut feature, is a hilarious comedy. Even though he continued to make films, none of them were commercially successful. With the support of Like, Share, and Subscribe, though, it’s probable he’ll succeed.
In terms of technical merit, Praveen Lakkaraju is among the most underestimated composers because he scored several of Merlapaka Gandhi’s films, including one of the most popular albums, Express Raja. However, the music throughout the film and on Like Share, and Subscribe failed to capture audiences’ interest. In comparison to A Vasanth, the cinematography in Like Share and Subscribe is good and perhaps amazing.
Everyone can find something entertaining by Like, Share, and Subscribe.
