Story:

With fear, Gopal begins to create troubles in his daughter's love story. However, Santu manages to convince Gopal of his marriage with Padma. How did he do that? What problems did Gopal create? What happened in the end? Forms the film's story.

Performances:
Apart from the lead pair, Ajay Ghosh deserves a special mention for his performance in the film. His performance is extremely good. His character has multiple shades like anger, comedy, and emotion. The way he emoted in some critical situations is good. Coming to the lead pair, Santhosh Shoban looks good and played his part well.

He is one of the emerging actors in Telugu. Mehreen Kaur made her comeback with this film and she is good too. She looked beautiful on the screen. Her chemistry with Santosh worked out well. The other actors like Vennela Kishore made their presence felt.

Technical Aspects:
Director Maruthi has picked an interesting story for the film. The dialogues evoked good laughs. The first half is better when compared to the second half. Both the cinematography and editing are good.

The film unit maintained a shoe-string budget for the film. The film's music is not impressive. The production design is excellent. The production values are on par with the requirements. Technically, the film is not bad.

Review:
Director Maruthi always ensures to add an underlying message to the storyline that he picks. The sensational filmmaker has always come up with hilarious entertainers yet reveals a message. In this film, the director wanted to convey that fear is injurious to health. He wanted to tell that people should kick off fear and elevate happiness in one's life. The concept was not conveyed completely.

The first half of the film is interesting but the second half utterly disappoints. There are many lags in the second half. The melodrama is overboard in some scenes of the second half. Manchi Rojulochaie is a comedy-driven film that carries a subtle message in an underlying manner. A good first half and an okayish second half make this film a time-pass entertainer.
