📰 Critic Reviews
SVP is a commercial movie that has good first half, and a very flat narration in the second half. Mahesh babu’s One-man show in comedy, Good songs rescue this film. Story and direction wise this film could’ve been way better. Overall, A typical telugu film watchable for MaheshBabu !
The first half of the film is entertaining with a twist at the interval. The second half dwells into the core story of the film. It’s about how the banking industry failed in loans and NPA section. Such a subject needs a lot of depth. Director Parasuram chooses to generalize it so that basic idea can be conveyed easily…
