First half of the movie is entertaining. Second half is predictable and climax is routine. Plus points of the movie are Allari Naresh and comedy. The negative points are predictable second half and cheap production values. Though it is a typical story with a predictable screenplay, Vamsy’s comedy timing and dialogues makes Saradaga kasepu is decent watch.

There is no big story. There is no great effort to knit the narration with great humor. It just goes like a village bus. It’s natural wit that sparks here and there in dialogues and renditions. As the title sounds ‘it’s just a time pass movie’ and no big blasts can be expected. First half goes with average narration while the second half picks up with laughs. This is a movie that can run for some time till the big movies arrive.

The movie gives the feeling that Vamsi has regained his rhythm after a long time. We once again see that 'old' Vamsi as director in this movie. His brand of 'framing' and 'shot-taking' is clearly visible not only in scenes, but also in dance sequences. The comedy element of Vamsi's past movies Sithara, Anveshana, Ladies Tailor reflects again in this movie. Had the second part of the film was as good as the first part, it could have been termed as a '100 day guaranteed-run' movie. Vamsi has shown the heroine Madhurima very beautifully in this movie.

Director Vamsi has been known for his interesting films like ‘Manchu Pallaki’, ‘Sitara’, ‘Anveshana’ etc. His last few films are far from his early ones. ‘Saradaga Kasepu’ is few moons away from his best works. However, Telugu audiences have always loved comedy, no matter where and how it comes from. They might end up liking this film.
