The Great Pre-Wedding Show Review : A Clean, Lighthearted Rural Comedy That Delivers Natural Laughs

Storyline

Ramesh (Thiruveer) runs a small photo studio cum xerox shop in a Srikakulam village. He takes photos and videos for weddings and local functions. Ramesh secretly loves Hema (Teena Shravya), the village panchayat secretary, who also likes him but never expresses it. Things take a turn when Anand (Narendra), a politically influential local youth, hires Ramesh for a grand pre-wedding shoot with his fiancée Soundarya (Yamini). Ramesh and his assistant (Master Rohan) put their heart into it, but disaster strikes when the memory chip containing all the photos goes missing due to a careless mistake. As Ramesh struggles to fix the mess, he finds himself in deeper trouble — and believes stopping Anand’s wedding might be the only way out. What happened to the chip? Did Ramesh manage to fix things? And what about his love story with Hema? The rest of the film answers these questions in a humorous yet heartwarming manner.
