Cast and performance
Sharwanand as a guy who is suffering from OCD is superb and he excels in this role with his perfect comedy timing and his body language. His styling is done well throughout the movie giving him a never before look. Mehreen Kaur Pirzada is good and looks super fine. Vennela Kishore is humorous. Nassar is nice. Bhadram is fine and all other actors did fine job.
Writing Department
Story of Mahanubhavudu is routine and it has nothing new in terms of content except for the OCD concept. Screenplay is good but written in template formula. Dialogues are good.
Technical Departments
Songs composed by SS Thaman are superb and are blockbusters already. After a long time he composed a chartbuster album for a movie. He did superb job in terms of composing background score to elevate the emotions even better. Cinematography by Nizar Shafi is superb and visuals are delight to eyes on the big screen. Editing is fine and action sequences are composed well. Production values are apt.

Verdict
Mahanubhavudu is a story of a guy with OCD and his love with a girl from a remote village. Director Maruthi who tasted success in the form of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy who has the problem of forgetting things so easily tries his luck again with the same template screenplay replacing that problem with OCD. Except for the comedy generated through OCD, this movie has nothing to offer to the audience. Sharwanand who is surprising audience with his diverse selection of scripts seems to be got excited with the point of OCD and the success of Bhale Bhale Magadivoy. Maruthi should deviate himself from the formulaic scripts and everyone appreciated him for Bhale Bhale Magadivoy and this time he faltered with his writing which only has comedy. He has chosen a never before attempted concept like OCD and he chose to narrate it in safe mode to score a hit, it seemed. To sum up, Mahanubhavudu is a perfect movie for those who only want laughs for three hours and is a tedious ride who expect to see new kind of movie.
