Pooja Hegde is so graceful. The film was a perfect commercial entertainer with a good message about family. Butta Bomma's picturisation was so vibrant. Looking forward to her new film with Varun Dhawan, hope it's as fun!

Respectfully, while the film was a blockbuster, I feel the Hindi remake "Shehzada" didn't capture the original's magic at all. Sometimes regional films should just be left alone. The original Telugu cast and Trivikram's direction were unbeatable.

The music by Thaman S was the soul of this film! Every song was a hit, but Butta Bomma was on another level. It played at every wedding and function for two years straight. 😂 Happy AVPL Day indeed!

This movie released just before the pandemic and gave us so much joy during a tough time. It was the last film I saw in a packed theatre with my friends before the lockdowns. Nostalgic feels! Allu Arjun's swag is unmatched.
