Brahmaji shows his experience in living in the role of a struggling farmer. He showed good bodylanguage and expressed and emoted himself showing variations in his face. He showed the struggles in his mind quite aptly swallowing the bitter pain while taking the shocking decision.

Aamani is good in the role of his wife who tries to support her husband in all possible ways. She complimented Brahmaji with her performance. The scenes featuring Brahmaji and Aamani powered the film to another level.

Sudhakar Reddy Kethiri came up with a realistic performance in the role of Brahmaji's father. His body language is natural and delivered dialogues with ease. Dhanya Balakrishna looked good in the role of the daughter, controlling her romantic feelings due to the situation of her family and also showing the anger before giving in to her family's decision.

Mani Aegurla looked good in the role of a hot blooded youngster who takes impulsive decisions and also gets carried away with the romantic feelings. He showed good emotions and body language on the screen. Avasarala Srinivas is good in the role of the lecturer while Gangavva played an important role in her own style. Racha Ravi is ok but he overacted at times.

Baapu Telugu Film: Technicians Review

Baapu story penned by Dayakar Reddy is inspired by the real life incidents. He came up with a simple story and started the narration by highlighting the plight of the family of a farmer and how he struggles when people surround him demanding repayment of the debts.

The story and narration moves forward in a slow and steady manner highlighting the characters and the thought process of each family members before the pre interval and interval brings an end to it with a surprise element setting the tone for the second half. The second half is full of emotions and the story culminates with few cinematic liberties during the pre climax and climax.

Dialogues highlighted the Telangana accent and it added value to the story. The screenplay is intact and though slow made viewers glued to the screen most of the time. Dayakar Reddy did a decent job as a director and with few improvisation, he would have taken the film to new heights.

The editing of Aalayam Anil is good but could have been better. The slow pace in the narration at times ended up testing the patience of the viewers. Pendem Vasu's cinematography showed the village atmosphere in a natural and realistic manner elevating the rustic feel. RR.Dhruvan's tunes are situational and highlighted the Telangana feel and soul. His background score added value to the story. Production values are good.
