Arjun Reddy Analysis:
Arjun Reddy is one film that may not live with us for years and that may not attain a cult status or that may not become a critically acclaimed film. But, it has got all the qualifications to be called a good film. There are so many impressive points in the film that are worth witnessing.

There is a lot that Arjun Reddy tells us and there is a lot that he shows us and there is a lot that we can learn from him. At the same time, every single thing of the film can be connected to the real life situations and characters.
The film is sound in terms of technicalities. There is good camera work that adds strength to the film. The music is nice and the background score of the film is outstanding.
