This mindless and long-winded action comedy, which has an obnoxious national security officer for a protagonist, quickly becomes a repetitive bore. The movie heinously tries to make child abuse look like slapstick comedy.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu offers enough fun to gloss over its dull stretches.

3/5

While the security subplot in this movie feels dated and the second half loses momentum due to a monotonous villain arc, the film is eventually anchored by Chiranjeevi’s charisma and Anil Ravipudi’s brand of humour.

It’s not just a drama of situational comedy, but a modern marriage — a marriage that fails. And in this regard, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu takes several steps back.

2.5/5

There is nothing to discredit about its desire to be old-school as well. The problem is when it doesn’t put in the required effort to elicit laughter from the crowd, which is sure to forgive most other kinds of slip-ups.
