Krishna, unaware of Radha’s secret admiration, dislikes him but later falls in love with him.

[{"selector":"#anim-7a9707b8-efab-4a26-835d-e59a40993399","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53155f81-37c9-491c-ab52-e277932e9520","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As Krishna grows suspicious, she questions Radha’s behavior with women. What is he hiding?

[{"selector":"#anim-35f91d12-49da-4360-9a01-635c8db2a0b5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-437be7f4-3352-402d-b39f-6f542b52173f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Raj Tarun delivers a unique performance, shedding his action-hero image for a more subtle role

[{"selector":"#anim-c1b9ce2f-c1d5-4fc4-8fa5-7b8b0963b846","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-747d3075-1f53-4b00-acf6-6f830680d63b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Abhirami shines as Radha’s modern, supportive mother, giving an emotional depth to the flashbacks

[{"selector":"#anim-71da4b2f-4897-463f-a527-cb72a45607fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71bcf9e8-30ac-4426-b869-e378b759f8aa","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, Manisha Kandukur’s hyperactive portrayal and misdirected comedy weaken the movie’s impact

[{"selector":"#anim-4f57812f-3267-4231-b045-89e2911ab255","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-887a55f7-d24a-40f6-ad14-dbd3da60b6ce","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The film’s promising premise falls short due to poor narration and a lack of clear explanations

[{"selector":"#anim-d59868bb-36d9-4372-91b0-edbd7434211a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d2f0687-73b7-411d-bceb-4b1331756a7a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Technically decent, but weaker comedy and underwhelming supporting roles affect audience engagement.

[{"selector":"#anim-f8f74a49-1991-45a3-b321-6e3fd4620905","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6756da71-856f-41fe-9b66-5ccefabe19fe","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Bhale Unnade has its moments but struggles with execution, making it a one-time watch.

[{"selector":"#anim-a7760bb3-8740-4cdb-8b89-2f17e7d70559","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13baf8c0-acf6-4118-8040-0da6118a107c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(1921.05277%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":50,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
