Performances

Sumanth Shailendra excels in his very first Telugu flick as Brand Babu. He has displayed the right attitude and arrogance as a rich kid. He also excels in emotional roles in the climax scene. Esha Rabba pulls off the role of a poor maid with ease. Murali Sharma effortlessly performs in a character with a negative shade. Even though there's some overacting in a few scenes, he manages to put out a great show. The rest of the crew have done their bit to contribute to the film.

Brand Babu Review

Director Maruthi is back with an impressive storyline. His dialogues evoke laughter. the film has Maruthi written all over.Prabhakar's efforts are hardly visible in the film. The film is high on comic quotient. The comedy scenes especially in the second half stand out. Family emotion scenes are beautifully picturised. There's no strong reason shown for a change in hero's attitude and love for his lady. JB's music is good. Cinematography and editing is up to the mark.
