Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Even as a male, the way one of the characters treats and talks about women was jarring to me--especially in the original Telugu. Granted, seeing women and talking about them as sex-objects has been kind of baked into world media culture decades ago, but at least in Indian cinema I've never seen anybody verbally talk about them in this way.
Having said that, the movie succeeds in portraying a kind of New India--where young professionals are just now emerging out of the cocoon of tradition and carving out their own futures personally and professionally. The protagonist and his love interest acted very well--that thread is strong enough to balance out any incidental drivel the filmmakers decided to include. So kudos for that.
