The much-awaited film “Telusu Kada”, starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Viva Harsha, Raashii Khanna, and Srinidhi Shetty, has finally hit the theaters — and audiences are showering it with love. Directed by debut filmmaker Neeraja Kona, the movie is a heartfelt exploration of relationships, emotions, and the unseen struggles of life. Released on October 17, 2025, this film is being hailed as a refreshing mix of emotion, depth, and strong performances.
A New-Age Family Drama That Connects Deeply 💫
“Telusu Kada” is not your typical commercial entertainer — it’s a story that connects emotionally with both the youth and family audiences. While some viewers initially felt the concept might not appeal to everyone, the public consensus quickly shifted, describing it as “a good, new, and different movie worth watching.”
The film’s strength lies in its message — exploring love, parenthood, and the thin line between relationships and self-identity. It encourages audiences to reflect on family, emotional bonds, and the true meaning of companionship.
Siddhu Jonnalagadda Shines as the Emotional Powerhouse ⚡
Siddhu Jonnalagadda once again proves why he’s one of the most versatile stars in Telugu cinema today. Public reviews describe him as a “power center” and the “star boy” of the movie. His acting, especially in emotionally charged scenes involving smoking, drinking, and personal loss, has been praised as “realistic and heart-touching.”
One viewer shared, “Siddhu anna played crazily — this is his best performance since DJ Tillu.” From laughter to tears, Siddhu carries the film entirely on his shoulders with sheer charisma and emotional conviction.
Raashii Khanna & Srinidhi Shetty Bring Grace and Emotion 🌸
Both Raashii Khanna and Srinidhi Shetty deliver standout performances. They move beyond traditional glamorous roles to portray emotionally rich characters that add depth to the story. Public opinion suggests that Raashii and Srinidhi surpass each other in performance, striking a perfect emotional balance with Siddhu’s intensity.
The chemistry between the leads feels natural, and their portrayal of complex emotions brings realism to the screen — a refreshing break from formulaic love stories.
Neeraja Kona’s Direction: Elegant and Honest 🎬
Director Neeraja Kona deserves special mention for crafting a story that balances modern-day relationships with traditional emotions. Her ability to maintain narrative neutrality — not leaning toward either the male or female perspective — is being widely praised.
Viewers noted that despite a detailed narration, the film does not feel slow. Instead, its depth and realism make every moment impactful. By focusing on just four main characters — Siddhu, Raashii, Srinidhi, and Harsha — Kona delivers a compact yet emotionally layered story.
Music by Thaman: The Soul of the Film 🎵
Music director S. Thaman elevates “Telusu Kada” with his breathtaking background score (BGM) and soothing songs. Public reviewers repeatedly called the music “super,” “ultimate,” and “wonderful.” Thaman’s compositions perfectly capture the movie’s emotional highs and lows, enhancing the impact of every scene.
Storytelling That Balances Emotion and Realism 🕊️
The story revolves around the hero, who has no parents, and his internal struggle between love, loyalty, and family values. It also explores themes like surrogacy and emotional trauma — handled sensitively without melodrama. The climax, according to several viewers, is “perfect,” bringing closure to all emotional threads in a satisfying way.
Public Talk & Reception 🎤
Public feedback collected by Telugu Vaadi TV paints a consistent picture — “Telusu Kada” may not be a mass entertainer, but it’s a film that touches the heart. Audiences found it deeply relatable and lauded the director’s courage to tell a grounded story in an era dominated by commercial formulas.
A viewer summed it up beautifully: “This movie teaches us that relationships are not about perfection — they’re about understanding.”
