Story
Venkatratnam Naidu is known as Military Naidu (Venkatesh). His sister and her husband die in a car accident. He decides to take care of his newphew Karthick (Naga Chaitanya) against his father's will. Venky Mama becomes everything to Karthick. They love each other so much that they both keep sacrificing things for each other. Twist in the tale arises when Naidu comes to know about Karthick's love with that town MLA's daughter. As MLA has some disputes with Naidu, he plays a few tricks and splits up Kartick and Naidu. What happens next? Is it just a conflict or is there any bigger reason behind their split up? Will they both come back together again? This is Venky Mama's Kadha.
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊

Artiste Performances
Venkatesh is the Heart and Soul of the movie. You will fall in love with him. Comedy, Emotion, Action what not, He gives an extraordinary performance. This character will be remembered as one of his best performances for sure.
Naga Chaitanya too is great in his role. He gives a perfect justification to the line "Mama ki Thaga Alludu". He surprises with his superb performance in Emotional scenes and Military episodes.
Rashi Khanna looks cute and is good in her role. Paayal Rajput gets a different role from what she has been doing till now and she too has done a decent job. Both of them bring glamour to the screen.
Hyper Aadi, Sivanarayana Garu evoke few laughs. Rest of the cast are good.

Analysis
From the moment the movie buzz started, Everyone has been eagerly waiting to see this Mama - Alludu Duo on screen. And finally the movie hit the screens and yes they rocked it.
Movie starts well with Goosebumps introducing of Victory Venkatesh and establishing the relationship between Mama and Alludu. These scenes are shot beautifully. Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya are amazing on screen. Their chemistry works big time. It is a treat to watch them together in one frame.
First half has good amount of entertainment, Heroism elevations, Love story and a terrifc fight in the interval with a twist making it a superb Interval Bang.
Second half has a few problems. After the twist is revealed, movie feels lost for some time. Another small problem is we feel the Jathakam concept is a bit over the top. Other than that second half is good.
Military episode in last 20 mins is excellent. Emotional connect is also very well maintained. This elevates the movie. After an action sequence and an emotional scene, It's a Happy ending to the movie.
Editing work is neat. Runtime is another plus to the movie. Visuals are very good. Production Values are great.
Thaman's music needs a special mention. He did an excellent job with both songs and Background score. Venky Mama, Yennelako and Coco Cola Songs Shook the theatre. Background score took many scenes to the next level, Especially during emotional scenes and Military Episodes.
(MY) Final Word
Venky Mama is Victory Venkatesh's Show all the way. Both Mama - Alludu Steal the show with their chemistry. Leaving a few hiccups in second half, Venky Mama is impressive. Perfect blend of emotions, Good comedy and nice entertainment makes it a perfect birthday treat to Victory Venkatesh Garu. On a Whole, Venky Mama Ends up as a Well Made Family Entertainer.
Bottomline: 'Venky Mama' - Alludu Adharagottesaru
