Star performance

Lavannya Sahukara and Chaitanya Rao Madadi shine beautifully in their respective roles, adding depth and interest to the film.

Analysis

Annapurna Photo Studio is a movie tinged with nostalgia and simple romance set in a rural area in 1980s India. This movie is a perfectly executed vintage romance, with a well-written screenplay, good direction and favourable cast performances. The film's backdrop is beautifully portrayed, like the vibrancy and simplicity of the village. The retro vibe that the movie exudes adds to its strengths, and the overall essence of the movie is heightened with the right blend of comedy, thrill and nostalgia. The music makes for an atmospheric watch, and so does the beautiful cinematography executed in a 90s tone. However, the movie's narrative isn't free-flowing, and could have been relatively smoother. Overall, it’s a heartfelt, simple romantic drama that makes for an enjoyable watch, despite its slow-paced tone.

What’s there

  • Engaging storyline
  • Vibrant and beautiful cinematography
  • Excellent musical score

What’s Not There

  • The movie turns quite slow-paced in the second half
  • The narrative feels wonky due to some unnecessary scenes

Verdict

Annapurna Photo Studio is a simplistic and beautiful romantic comedy set in the 1980s. It’s a vintage romance with vibrant visual elements and a sweet plotline exuding warm emotions. If you’re into emotional movies with a touch of humor, well-executed romance and an old-school vibe, Annapurna Photo Studio is a good film to watch.
