Review:
Most Eligible Bachelor is one of the films that carry a very interesting plot. Bommarillu Bhaskar who is strong in dealing with emotions has focused on the entertainment part of this project. The first half of the movie is close to reality, where the director explores different expectations that today's generation youth have when it comes to their future partner.

The fun part in the first half keeps the audience engaged with the plot. The biggest minute is the preachy part in the second half. An entertaining film gets preachy in the second half which disconnects the audience to its core emotion. There is a very good storyline in the movie but the execution is not up to the mark. On the whole, the film is high on entertainment but less on emotion!

Final Verdict: Most Eligible Bachelor is entertaining but gets preachy!
