Telusu Kada Review : An emotional journey that starts strong but loses its rhythm midway.

Telusu Kada follows Varun (Siddu Jonnalagadda), a passionate young man whose life takes unexpected turns as he struggles to balance love, dreams, and inner turmoil. His relationship with Anjali (Raashi Khanna) blossoms with genuine affection but soon faces turbulence due to misunderstandings and contrasting life goals. Maya (Srinidhi Shetty), a new entrant in his life, helps him reflect on his choices and confront his emotional gaps. The film delves into themes of self-realization, emotional maturity, and the fragility of modern relationships — wrapped in a soft romantic drama filled with visual grace and contemporary aesthetics.

Positives

Heartwarming Moments The initial romance, the celebration sequences, and key emotional turns especially the pregnancy and baby-kick scenes are beautifully presented.

Dialogues That Touch the Hear Simple yet effective lines like “Sometimes silence speaks louder than words” leave a quiet impact.

Performances & Chemistry Siddu Jonnalagadda shines with subtle emotions and realistic expressions. Raashi Khanna brings warmth and charm, while Srinidhi Shetty adds a grounded calmness to the narrative.

Technical Strengths

Cinematography (Gnana Shekar VS) Every frame looks rich and emotionally textured, especially in flashback portions. Music (Thaman S) The soundtrack and background score complement the film’s mood, though occasionally overdramatic.

Production Quality People Media Factory ensures visual finesse from locations to costumes, the production values elevate the viewing experience.

Negatives

Uneven Screenplay The story loses its rhythm in the second half, and several scenes feel disconnected or predictable.

Dragging Portions Certain sequences linger beyond necessity, affecting emotional flow.

Overuse of Drama & Music The background score sometimes overshadows the emotion rather than enhancing it.

Weak Character Arcs
The supporting characters lack emotional layering, especially the female leads, who deserved more narrative depth.

Niche Appeal The film’s urban tone and slow pace may not resonate with all sections of the audience.

Technical & Crew Analysis

Director Neeraja Kona, making her debut, brings a refreshing female perspective to relationship storytelling. Her direction is sincere, and her command over visual storytelling stands out, but the screenplay struggles to sustain emotional continuity. Siddu Jonnalagadda carries the film on his shoulders with a nuanced and understated performance that balances sensitivity with natural charm. Raashi Khanna looks elegant and performs well, while Srinidhi Shetty gives a calm and composed portrayal that adds emotional grounding.

On the technical front, Gnana Shekar VS’s cinematography is a major strength every frame looks polished, capturing both emotion and atmosphere beautifully. Thaman S’s music adds an emotional texture; the songs are melodious, and the background score works in key moments though it becomes overbearing in a few. Naveen Nooli’s editing is neat but could have been tighter to trim repetitive sequences. Backed by TG Vishwa Prasad’s People Media Factory*, the film enjoys high production standards, with impressive sets, styling, and overall visual appeal.

Verdict

Telusu Kada is an emotionally sincere attempt that connects in parts but doesn’t hold the intensity throughout. Neeraja Kona’s direction and Siddu’s performance keep the film engaging, supported by strong visuals and music. However, the uneven pacing and lack of emotional depth in the script make it a mixed experience.

If you’re in for a visually appealing, relationship-based emotional drama, Telusu Kada makes for a fair one-time watch.

Rating: 2.75/5

Verdict Line : A visually rich emotional story that connects in moments but struggles to stay engaging throughout.
