Performances

Akhil Akkineni is extremely impressive in the role of Harsha. Since his character is of his age, it looks easy for the actor to unfold the action on the big screen. At the same time, the backdrop suits him too. Compared to his previous outings, Akhil displayed a great variation and improvement in his performance. Pooja Hegde, on the other hand, is extremely good. Pooja's character has got a lot of variations and she even has the scope to perform her part well. The chemistry between the two is good too. Murali Sharma, Pragathi, Sudigali Sudheer, Vennela Kishore, Jayaprakash, Posani Krishna Murali, and others made their presence felt.

Technical Aspects

The camera work and the background score are the major plus points in the movie. The visuals are grand and colorful. The music is good too. A couple of songs that became a big hit were placed nicely. The background score helped the film elevate the emotion well too. The film's writing is impressive in the first half but falls flat in the second half. The production values are grand and lavish.

Verdict

Most Eligible Bachelor has a thin storyline but it has got a lot of scopes to explore. Director Bhaskar who made a comeback to Tollywood is already known for dealing with strong yet sensitive emotions. However, for this project, the director put his focus on delivering the entertainment rather than pulling the project off with emotions. The first half looks fun and entertaining with a lot of interesting elements. However, the second half falls flat with weak writing and it gets into a preachy mode.
