Crazy Kalyanam
Crazy Kalyanam hit theatres on 16 October 2026 as a Dasara release. It is a Telugu family comedy-drama set in rural Telangana. The film centres on everyday family tensions around marriage, parental expectations, and a young woman’s desire for independence. Naresh plays the worried father, Anupama Parameswaran is the career-focused daughter, Tharun Bhascker appears as the troublesome son-in-law, and Akhil Uddemari is the childhood love interest.
Early audience talk has been mixed but leans positive among family viewers who appreciated the performances and message. The story follows Parvathalu, a father still troubled by his elder daughter’s difficult marriage. He becomes determined to arrange a secure match for his younger daughter Keerthi, who is preparing for government exams and wants to stand on her own feet. Keerthi has her own plans and feelings.
The resulting clash between tradition, love, and personal ambition creates both comic and emotional moments without major spoilers. On social media platforms including X, BookMyShow, and other discussion spaces, many viewers praised Naresh’s natural and emotional performance. His scenes, especially later ones, drew the most appreciation. Anupama Parameswaran was noted for a sincere and grounded portrayal. Tharun Bhascker’s comic energy also got mentions. BookMyShow ratings sat high with tags like “Blockbuster,” “Rocking,” and “Inspiring” from those who connected with the family theme.
Common complaints focused on the slow pace, familiar plot turns, and a second half that loses some of the early energy. Several people felt the film stretched certain sequences and that the comedy did not always land strongly. Overall sentiment describes it as an okayish to decent one-time watch for those who enjoy clean family dramas with a progressive undertone. Families and viewers who like village-set stories with light humour and emotional father-daughter moments will find more to enjoy.
The film’s strengths lie in its heart and the lead performances. Weaknesses show in the writing consistency and length. It is worth a theatre visit if you prefer light, message-driven entertainers during the festive season. Otherwise, it can wait for streaming.
