One person wrote, “Anil Ravipudi films have long become critic proof and Sankranthi favorites. I have given up nitpicking on this when clearly Anil Ravipudi is the master of this particular genre and he remains unapologetic about it. His new directorial has given him the opportunity to direct the Megastar and the best thing Anil Ravipudi has done is to strip Chiru off his Megastar image. Shankara Vara Prasad is someone who is made fun off till the very end by even his team members and it was fun to watch Chiru get along with it, while enjoying his heroic moments.”Another person wrote, “First film of 2026 and interestingly, last year also began with Anil Ravipudi’s movie. Paisa vasool entertainer mainly for families not really for youth. It may appeal only to a specific audience who enjoy this brand of comedy. Compared to Ravipudi’s earlier films, it’s not as entertaining as F2 or Sankranthiki Vastunam, but it’s definitely better than F3.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
