Analysis:

Krishna Gadi Veera Prema Gadha is a director's film. There is nothing sensational about the script but the director has made it a thoroughly entertaining movie with multi layered screenplay. There are many twists and turns in the film to keep you hooked all the time. Nani's characterization is superb which helped to maintain the entertainment mode right from the beginning.

The film never gets boring. It is a joyful ride until the penultimate scenes where it was needlessly dragged. Director chose to conclude it on an emotional note that may seem out of sync with the rest of the film. However that is not a major problem to be concerned about. Krishnagadi Love story is so much fun on a whole.

KGVPG lives up to the promise it has shown in its promos. It is a well made film that is worth watching just for the entertainment. It may not be bang on logic or might have taken few things easy, but that doesn't seem a problem at all. Nani has another winner on hands and Hanu is here to stay.

Verdict: Krishna gadi 'Victorious' Love story.
