Story
Ajay (Sree Vishnu) is a careless bank employee who develops feelings for Purva (Ketika Sharma), a saleswoman at a car showroom. Meanwhile, Harini (Ivana) harbors feelings for Ajay. As Ajay chases after Purva, she shows no interest in him, while he, in turn, pays no attention to Harini’s affections. The story takes a turn when unexpected events flip their dynamics, forming the crux of the narrative.
Artists Performance
Sree Vishnu delivers an offbeat performance in this film, perfectly aligning with a character that demands constant humor and eccentricity. His dialogue delivery adopts a meme-like style, blending inner thoughts with spoken lines using varied pace and modulation - an approach he pulls off effortlessly. Ketika Sharma does a decent job in a typical heroine role, while Ivana impresses as the love-struck character pursuing the hero. Vennela Kishore shares significant screen time with Sree Vishnu and brings plenty of laughs. Rajendra Prasad plays an important role and does a fair job. VTV Ganesh adds a dose of humor with his presence, and Satya along with Master Reventh appear in brief guest roles.
Story - screenplay - direction: The film’s storyline is quite simple - a guy caught between two women. The narrative is driven more by quirky screenplay choices, humorous dialogues, and distinct characterizations than by plot depth. The hero is portrayed as irresponsible and self-centered for most of the film, only to undergo a sudden transformation toward the end to win over both heroines. The Hyderabad Metro almost feels like a character in the film, with several key scenes set in and around it throughout the story. The direction is alright, and the screenplay holds up reasonably well. The climax is decent and justifies the film’s title
Other departments: One of the film’s strongest aspects is its witty dialogue, penned by Bhanu Bhogavarapu and Nandu Savirigana (known for Samajavaragamana). They cleverly incorporate trending memes to craft humorous and engaging lines. R. Velraj’s cinematography is decent, with a consistent blue tone throughout the film. While Vishal Chandrasekhar’s songs are pleasant, they feel somewhat out of place for this genre acting as speed-breakers. Art by Chandrika Gorrepati is fine. Editing by Praveen KL is okay, and the production values from Geetha Arts and Kalya Films are adequate for the film’s scale.
Analysis: Single heavily relies on Sree Vishnu’s performance and the strength of its dialogues - and both deliver effectively, with solid support from Vennela Kishore. The film doesn't offer much in terms of story or plot depth, but if you're simply in the mood for some light-hearted laughs, it's worth a watch.
