    Love in the air

    It just speaks poem every fram every scene and every screenplay so beautiful. It just happens around me. The dailogue the mixture and the love is so pure and heart whelming. Cant explain in words. It was equally good with 96 but 96 was way better than Jannu , just because of one man its VJS, his action score points omg shrawan needs to learn a lot. In Jaanu samantha killed it , omg wat an actress , so soulfula and heart warming movie, whenever i always goes into my schooldays and crush along my love. Every characters did their role to perfect. So good. Prem he is master in art, every frame of camera is an art and as always govind vasantha and pradeep nailed it. Please do watch it available in hotstar.

    Cleanses you!

    Imagine doing this: You are on a fast food diet intentionally for five years. All you get to eat is McDonalds, KFC and everything that qualifies as junk that you can buy. And then five years later you walk home and you get to eat food your mom cooked. If you really can imagine the joy that meal gives you, you will complain that I used the word joy. You would tell me use a stronger word because joy just does not cut it. Bliss.. May be?

    This movie is that! Love in its true elements. Pure. It cleanses you...

    Watch it for Sarvanand's performance.

    Great acting by Sarvanand. Rest everyone were ok. The movie may seem boring in some scenes and very intense in others. Overall a good movie. Go watch it.

    Emotional

    One of the best films that tollywood have ever seen. The whole drama turns around the feelings of Ram and Janu. Good first half with scenes about the reunion of the childhood lovers. Second was very emotional and an unexpected ending. If you have a first crush or first love in your schooling, I'm sure you will connect with the drama.
