Analysis
Sankarabharanam is a remake of the 2010 flick Phas Gaye Re Obama. But it is not a loyal remake since it also gives significance to the family drama other than kidnapping business. Also, the initial half of the film is totally dissimilar to the original. This movie that is touted to be a crime comedy seems to be a blend of several genres; debutant Uday has tried to intersperse various elements into this movie.Â
What’s there?
1. Â Â The second half is engrossing.
2.   Some of the comedy scenes including that of Prudhvi's will tickle your humor bones.  In fact, comedy is the highlight of the movie.Â
3. Â Â The music and BGM complement the theme of the movie.Â
4. Â Â The production values are good.Â
5.   Praveen Lakkaraju’s music is average.
6.   Richard Prasad’s cinematography is commendable.Â
7.   Chinna’s artwork is noteworthy.Â
What’s not there?
1. Â Â The second half goes in a slow pace.Â
2. Â Â Sometimes the movie goes on predictable lines.Â
3. Â Â Some songs seem to have been added to the movie just for the sake of it.
4. Â Â Kona Venkat could have worked on the story in a better manner.Â
5. Â Â The dialogues (by Kona Venkat) could have been penned in a satisfactory manner.Â
6.   Sreekar Prasad’s editing could have been much better.Â
Verdict
The movie can be watched once for its comedy elements and Anjali’s presence.Â
