Thellavarithe Guruvaram is a Telugu rom-com that takes place over the course of a single night. The film revolves around Veeru (Sri Simha Koduri) and Madhu (Misha Narang), a couple who are all set for an early morning wedding but are reluctant to tie the knot. Veeru, still in love with Dr. Krishnaveni (Chitra Shukla), and Madhu, wary of marriage due to personal reasons, decide to escape their wedding simultaneously.

Forced to spend the night together while running away, the duo opens up about their insecurities, past heartbreaks, and fears, slowly discovering a connection that may lead them to genuinely fall in love. What unfolds during this night of confusions, mishaps, and comedy forms the core of the film.

Highlights
Unique single-night rom-com setup with potential for engaging storytelling.
Satya’s comedy is consistently entertaining.
Sri Simha shows notable improvement as a lead actor.
Technical aspects like cinematography and production design are commendable.

Drawbacks
Slow narration and pacing issues, particularly in the second half.
Female characters, especially Chitra Shukla and Misha Narang, are underdeveloped.
Several scenes are absurd and lack logic, e.g., the goat marriage sequence.
Climax feels rushed and forced.
Comedy and drama could have been better integrated to maintain engagement.

Verdict
Thellavarithe Guruvaram is a rom-com with a fresh premise but falters due to slow pacing, uneven storytelling, and absurd plot points. Satya’s comedy and Sri Simha’s performance provide intermittent enjoyment, but the film struggles to maintain interest throughout.
