Verdict
Pittagoda is a movie about aimless youth who formed a gang. They all are introduced interestingly and perfect writing can be felt as the story is proceeding. Comedy is not at all forced and makes audience jump on seats out of tickles they create. Screenplay is engaging and interesting throughout the movie and it doesn’t let down. Interest created at interval is so good and makes audience waiting for the other half. This movie is made purely with Telangana slang and it works out well. Director Anudeep KV has done fantastic job with his debut movie and handled all the department nicely to get the desired output. He casted his characters perfectly and made them come alive and relatable. Ram Mohan and Suresh Babu are to be laudable for their belief in new talents and their encouragement. Their belief in them made this movie an entertaining one. To summarise, Pittagoda is a film that entertains truly with its content and characters.
