Audience Reactions Highlight Family Entertainment Value
The film is receiving positive feedback on social media platforms. Many viewers appreciate the lighter tone and family-friendly nature of the movie. One social media user commented about the director's approach.
"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 viewer shared their perspective on the film's entertainment value.
"MSG is a complete family entertainer. Megastar Chiranjeevi, as usual, delivers a solid performance. This kind of role is not new to him, but his screen presence and ease still make it engaging to watch."
These reactions suggest the film successfully blends humor with family-oriented storytelling while showcasing Chiranjeevi's versatility.
