Sree Vishnu is on a high scoring hits like Samajavaragamana, Om Bheem Bush. However he faced a reverse with Swag. Now he is getting ready to entertain viewers with Single. The film is directed by Caarthik Raju and stars Ivana who impressed all with her performance in Love Today and special appearance in Return of The Dragon. Single OTT rights are bagged by Amazon Prime.The film is releasing on 9 May 2025 and let us see whether Sree Vishnu endeared himself to all as Single.
Single story revolves two youngsters who are single and the developments in their lives and how they deal with them.
Vijay (Sree Vishnu) who is a bank employee remain single and he longs to have a girl friend. He gets attracted to a beautiful girl Purva (Ketika Sharma) and tries to woo her. In the midst of all this another girl Harini (Ivana) enters his life. Where this leads to and what role Aravind (Vennela Kishore) plays form rest of the developments.
Sree Vishnu slipped into the role effortlessly. The role is tailor made for him and he with his screen presence, mannerisms and unique dialogue delivery managed to entertain movie lovers to the core. He elevated the scenes with his expressions.
Ketika Sharma looked good on the screen. She performed well in her role. She didn't get much scope to show her acting talent. Ivana made her presence felt with her looks and performance. Vennela Kishore complemented Sree Vishnu with his performance. Both with their screen presence and combination scenes ensured that viewers are entertained.
VTV. Ganesh is good with his performance. Rajendra Prasad appeared in few emotional scenes that are predictable. Satya's comedy in cameo evokes few laughs while Narne Nithin's special role is just ok.
Single story is penned by Caarthik Raju and he concentrated on entertaining movie lovers with hilarious scenes. He came up with a simple story and created a tailor made role for Sree Vishnu.
The first half is filled with full hilarious scenes and though all of them have the routine flavour, they made an impact with the performances of Sree Vishnu and Vennela Kishore. Their performance ensured viewers ignore the lag and the first half ends interestingly setting the tone for the second half.
The second half continues in the same vein but the emotional flash back looked forced and artificial. The pre climax is stretched and climax is just ok. The climax comes with a surprise after comedy scenes and it looks unconventional.
The songs tuned by Vishal Chandrashekhar didn't add any value to the film. The songs didn't make any impact. He however elevated the scenes with his background score which is in sync with the storyline. Praveen's editing turned out to be just average. It could have been far better as there are many drags in the narration which slowed the pace of the film. Velraj's Cinematography turned the film colourful. He used camera angles to add value to the scenes. Dialogues are hilarious to some extent. Production values are good.
Altogether, Single happens to be just another run of the mill entrainer. Sree Vishnu entertained with his hilarious antics and director Caarthik Raju concentrated only on entertaining viewers with comedy elements and failed to come with a strong story.
A little rework on the story and script would have helped change the film's final result. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2.75 rating for Single.
