Amma Deevena Movie Review – An Emotional Family Drama Rooted in Mother’s Love
Amma Deevena traces the life‑journey of a woman, from childhood through her old age. The story centers on Lakshmamma (played by Aamani) who faces many trials and tribulations across her life.
In the film, Lakshmamma’s life is entwined with the expectations, responsibilities and sacrifices of being a daughter, wife, mother and elder. Supporting characters such as Posani Krishna Murali and Ajay Ghosh add to the familial and societal pressures around her.

Amma Deevena Movie Trailer
Highlights
A strong lead performance by Aamani, carrying the film’s emotional weight.
A serious, woman‑oriented theme in Telugu cinema—less common and laudable.
Good visual tone and authentic depiction of life stages and milieu.
Suitable for family audiences who prefer message‑driven dramas.
Drawbacks
Predictable narrative and clichéd family drama elements.
Second half lacks narrative momentum and stronger conflict resolution.
Some characters and arcs are under‑written.
Music and screenplay not strong enough to elevate the film beyond its core premise.
Verdict
On the whole, Amma Deevena is a sincere attempt at a woman‑oriented family drama that offers some thoughtful moments and a fine performance by Aamani. However, it falls short of being compelling cinema due to a weak screenplay and limited narrative innovation.
For viewers who favour earnest, message‑driven films and don’t mind a slow pace, the film may be worth a watch. For those looking for gripping storytelling or cinematic flair, the film may disappoint.
