Is Paradha worth watching or not?

Paradha started drawing attention on X (formerly Twitter), soon after movie buffs started sharing their reactions with many even describing the movie as a ‘refreshing breather in a largely machismo-driven Telugu cinema.’

One critic wrote, “Wishes to the whole team for making such an honest film. The take on feminism may feel a bit preachy at times, but the storytelling keeps it engaging. The strong conflict set up in the first 20 minutes was one of the most intriguing I’ve seen in recent times, and it ended on the same high. The music elevates the emotions beautifully, and the lead actors deliver exactly what the film needs.GOOD WATCH”

Another wrote, “Strong concept, worst execution, Good setup, bad payoff Preachy, not organic, Slow narration, Unnecessary songs disturbs the flow, music could be better, Anupama performance standouts she standout ❤️‍🔥but it couldn’t save the film #paradha”
