He has a batch of five friends and one among them always tries to woo the village beauty Vasanthi(Sonarika) but ends up failing each time.Left with no choice, Shoban takes things in hand and decides to help his friend. But during this process, Vasanthi falls for Shobhan. As these situations are showcased in quite a funny way, twist in the tale arises when Vasanti’s father(Rao Ramesh) fixes his daughter’s marriage to one of Shoban’s best friends Jagan (Kabir Singh). the story is as to how, Shoban clears all his problems among his friends and wins his love.



Performance ::

Bellamkonda Srinivas has once again proved that he is good at dances and is very comfortable in action stunts. Where acting is concerned, he still has a lot to learn although there is much improvement from his earlier film “Alludu Seenu”.
Sonarika is miscast for the movie. Tamannah in a single song has set the screen on fire. The friends gang - Srinivas Reddy, Sathya, and Madhunandan have provided some laughs. Chaitanya Krishna and Kabir are okay. Rao Ramesh and Prakash Raj don't have much to do but in their given characters they have excelled. Jhansi has got a meaty role. 




Analysis ::

“Speedunnodu” is remake of Tamil movie “Sundarapandian”. Director Bhimaneni has acquired name for remaking the movies suitable to the tastes of Telugu audiences. In his last movie "Sudigaadu", he has shown his skill for comedy and has repeated same flair with light-hearted moments but in serious matter of the story he under performs.The story is somewhat different which is all about friendship and betrayal but the screenplay is such that the actual story only comes towards the end of the movie, before that he plays with comedy, and lengthy romantic track.

The "Prema Pavuram" bus track is entertaining but it has been stretched beyond a point.  While the movie is pepped up with rich production values and some tongue-in-cheek dialogues, logic has gone for a toss.Although Bellamkonda Srinivas has good friendship with Kabir Duhan, it is illogical to think that Srinivas doesn't know that Kabir is nephew of heroine. Also Madhunanandan's motive is not convincing. Prakash Raj's character is not at all established well. Irony is that director Bhimaneni took nearly four years gap after the release of "Sudigaadu" but didn't work on ironing out these logic issues. But the movie's basic story is different from regular masala movies. Nevertheless the film will help the career of Bellamkonda Srinivas as it is completely focused on him and has put him on the main spotlight. All in all, unlike "Sudigaadu" Bhimaneni has not come up with perfect remake and unlike "Alludu Seenu" Bellamkonda has come up with a story that is too heavy for him. 

Verdict ::  It is a good commercial film is featured with love, friendship and family emotions.
