Performances:

Naga Chaitanya's incredible performance is one of the major plus points for the film. We can see that the actor has shown significant improvement in acting when compared to his previous movies. The way he has handled his challenging role is inspiring. Samantha played a substantial girl role who is madly in love with her husband. Despite playing an emotional character, Samantha has delivered her best. Divyansha Kaushik's performance added more beauty for the film. She fits into the role perfectly well. Rao Ramesh got an exciting role in the movie, and he did his best. Posani Krishna Murali's energetic performance never failed to grab attention. Subbaraju did a decent job. The rest of the cast including Suhas, Sudarshan, etc. made their presence felt.

Technical Aspects:

Director Shiva Nirvana has already proved his exceptional storytelling skills with 'Ninnu Kori' movie, and the director has proved the same again with this movie as well. Shiva Nirvana should get applauded for the way he has narrated the script. His execution is on point and hasn't tried to add any unnecessary scenes. Every character will have their importance in the story and deliver a different emotion. Production values by Shine Screens are extremely high and lavish. Music by Gopi Sundar is outstanding. Thaman's background score is one of the significant highlights behind the film. His background score helps the audience to get involved more into the story. Cinematography by Vishnu Sarma is beautiful. His camera angles are excellent. Editing by Prawin Pudi is neat.

Review:

The movie starts on a lighter note. The entire first half is realistic, and the love story between Naga Chaitanya and Divyansha is showcased beautifully. Their chemistry will grab their attention. The first half is blended with youthful elements like friendship, love, emotion, etc. The story becomes intense in the second half, and especially in emotional scenes, Samantha's performance will win critical acclaim. The twist in the second half will create curiosity among the audience. The emotional sequences between Naga Chaitanya and Samantha in the pre-climax are handled delicately and are heart touching. To conclude, 'Majili' is a must watch the movie for all sections of the audience.

Plus Points:

Performances
Emotional Scenes
Writing
BGM by Thaman

Minus Points:

Few Dragged Scenes
Melodrama in second-half

Final Verdict: Magical 'Majili' From ChaySam!
