Whatâs Good:Â the randomness of it all. I donât remember the last time I saw such a fulfilling no brainer comedy after Hindi film Dhamaal.
Whatâs Bad: the downwards slide in the second half, but a capable Naveen doesnât let it touch the level it canât be brought back to fun from.
Loo Break: you can pause this film anywhere, do your work, return; it will still be the same hilarious. The makers donât want you to sit under any pressure, and that includes the natural one too.
What's it about? Srikanth (Naveen) and his friends (Rahul Ramakrishna and Priyadarshi) are aimless youngsters from Jogipet. They decide to go to Hyderabad

It s difficult for Tollywood to appreciate Jathi Ratnalu fully. It s because, in a significant way, the film mocks Telugu cinema. It s an unapologetic satire that has its lead man (Naveen Polishetty) deliver a hilarious monologue during a court scene, a segment that makes it clear that writer-director Anudeep KV, supported by producer Nag Ashwin (the director of the breakout biopic Mahanati), doesn t mind taking satire to the doorsteps of the cliches-obsessed film industry. The backdrop of the film could have been a film studio and the comedy would have worked just fine - the way Shah Rukh Khan s Om Shanti Om did.
