What a film #Anaganaga is After Nani's Jersey, I truly feel this is one of the best father-son duo film, absolutely loved it.

Sumanth makes a powerful comeback with a classic performance. The young boy who played the son was outstanding his performance was heartfelt and natural.

SunnySanjay deserves special praise for story, dialogues, and screenplay were top-notch and emotionally resonant.

And the music was incredibly refreshing and added so much depth to the film.

Every artist gave their best and contributed meaningfully to the narrative.

EtvWin has delivered yet another gem in Telugu cinema

And finally, Vyas is a character that will be remembered and cherished for a long time in TFI.

"In general, I don't usually give any feedback or comments, but for this movie, I felt compelled to share my thoughts with the Anaganaga team. This movie touched my heart deeply and made me cry in almost every scene-especially in the second half, which was truly emotional and unforgettable. The storytelling, performances, and emotions were so real and relatable. I genuinely loved it, and I believe every parent and child must watch this film together. It's a beautiful reminder of the bond we often take for granted. Movies like this deserve to be made more often. Thank you to the Anaganaga team for giving us such a meaningful and heartwarming film. You've created something truly special.

Even 10 stars is not enough oka movie lo eni stories cheparu education gurinchi father and son emotion private school Inka chala vunay chudagalige dhamu miku vundali really great direction and great story and superb acting from all we can't say they acted they lived in it.no words can describe about the movie.

This movie make every one cry no doubt in it and this movie will be in books for long time And superb acting from sumanth and that boy and all given the best performance and in such a story there is small comedy Well driven by the director

And finally tq for the director and producer for bringing such a good film.

It's rare to come across a film that doesn't just entertain, but deeply connects with you. Anaganaga is one such cinematic gem - a tender, heartfelt emotional drama that lingers in your soul long after the credits roll.

Directed with grace and sincerity, this film delivers a powerful blend of emotion, love, and human connection without relying on loud drama or commercial tropes. It's a movie made with heart - and it shows in every frame.

At the core of Anaganaga is the moving portrayal of Vyas, played by Sumanth in what is arguably one of the finest performances of his career. With calm intensity and raw emotion, he brings to life a character that is as relatable as he is unforgettable. His journey of love, loss, and quiet resilience is deeply resonant, drawing the audience into his world with subtlety and strength.

But it's the father-son relationship that forms the true soul of this film. The emotional depth in their bond is portrayed so naturally and poetically that it feels less like fiction and more like a reflection of real life. The silences between them speak louder than words, and one particular scene - a quiet moment of shared presence - left an indelible impact on me.

The young boy playing the son delivers a standout performance - innocent, pure, and emotionally raw. Every scene he's in feels genuine and layered. Together, their chemistry brings a warmth and authenticity rarely seen in cinema today.

Sunny Sanjay's storytelling deserves immense praise. His writing is poetic without being preachy, and the dialogues are rich with emotion and simplicity. The screenplay is uncluttered, allowing emotions to breathe naturally. The direction is minimalistic yet impactful - prioritizing story and emotion over spectacle.

The music and background score are refreshingly subtle and perfectly placed, enhancing the emotional beats without overwhelming the scenes. The cinematography is equally impressive, beautifully capturing both the emotional and physical landscapes.

In a time dominated by high-octane action and commercial extravaganza, Anaganaga stands tall as a rare film that chooses connection over noise. It reminded me of the emotional depth of films like Jersey - and I'd dare say it even surpasses many of its contemporaries, including flashy titles like Skanda.

If you're someone who values emotionally rich storytelling, relatable characters, and films that leave a lasting impact, this is an experience you must not miss. Watch it not just with your eyes, but with your heart.

Thank you, EtvWin, for bringing us this beautiful story. And thank you, Anaganaga, for reminding us of the quiet power of cinema.

Sumanth Sir absolutely nailed it, as always! I've always been a huge fan of his unique style and presence. His mannerisms are something that truly stand out and add so much to his performances. The way he carries himself on screen, with such calmness and grace, really leaves a lasting impression. Even though he doesn't appear in a lot of projects, every time he does, he manages to leave the audience captivated with his natural charm and depth. His rare but highly impactful appearances remind us all of how important quality is over quantity. It's not about being on screen constantly but about making those few moments count, and Sumanth Sir does just that. The subtle yet powerful emotions he brings to his roles are truly remarkable, and it's clear that he puts his heart into everything he does. I highly recommend that everyone watch his work-it's an experience you won't forget. His performances are warm, genuine, and perfectly executed, making him one of the finest talents around.

This movie takes you on an emotional ride. Great narrative balance and connection between the father-son duo, and addressing gaps in our educational system.

Sumanth's calm demeanor is apt for Vyas's character, and Master Viharsh, as the son, is terrific too. The rest of the cast is good. The movie is very engaging, except for the first 10 minutes.

Director Sunny Sanjay, This is the most emotional connection I've had with a Telugu film in recent times. Dialogues supported the story well. I will be cheering for you in your upcoming projects. All the best.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Anaganaga....

"The Story sings a lullaby like a mother, gives courage like a father, fun like a friend, gives knowledge like a teacher. In one word, The Story introduces you to the world".

Another gem that deserves all the eyes. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching to the core. Literally cried 4-5 times, like a river flowing down my face. Sumanth became one of my favourite actors with Malli Raava (though I've watched him/his films since childhood), especially for his subtlety, and yet again he proves himself with this performance that how subtle, how good of an actor he is and how underrated and underutilised he is. Looking back at his filmography now, I realise that he has always tried something new, something different, and something good.

Beautiful music, beautiful visuals, beautiful characters, beautiful dialogues, beautiful emotions, and beautiful performances, for this beautiful film. Loved that song (both visually and audibly) where he and his son visit the beach, with the ocean in front of them and an ocean full of emotions inside them. The film is this beautiful to me, not just for all these points, but also for the point it is trying to make, the story it is trying to tell, the good it is trying to do for us, and the change it is trying to bring.

After long time i watched movie with tears This movie has different types of emotions.

If you're a son then you will become as a best son for your father, if you're a parent then you will become as a best parent, if you're a student you will become as a best student and if you're a teacher you will become as a favourite teacher after watching this movie.

So don't miss this movie and don't miss the chance to be best after watching this movie.

Sumanth Anna you are amazing as always Sunny Sanjay big thanks for an amazing story Chandu Ravi you are the main soul of this story And last and final big thanks to each and everyone in the team of #Anaganaga.

Amazing movie. Narration was perfect.

Highlights:

• A well-meaning story delivered with elegance
• Sumanth shines with a restrained and heartfelt performance
• Strong technical finesse, with standout music and visuals

While the emotional core of the film lies in its family drama, the subplot involving a rebellious, trailblazing teacher challenging a private school feels less convincing. Some writing choices come off as a bit inexperienced, but the overall execution is unexpectedly polished. The director skillfully advances the narrative with sharp visuals, tight scenes, and strong performances from the cast.

A nice story of father and son.

Must watch with kids.

Such a neat and clean movie.

The title music was so good to hear.

Anaganaga is a heartwarming story about a father and son, set in an Indian school. The first half is excellent, and the second half is engaging, but it has a more scope. The music is outstanding and enhances the story. The cinematography and visuals are impressive. Sumanth delivers a great performance, and the kid actor does a wonderful job. The supporting cast also shines.... Kudos to the director for good work!

The production values are also good....

PLOT : A school teacher uses innovative storytelling methods to help struggling students, overcoming various challenges to achieve his goal..

This film, at its core, appears to be a profound exploration of the human condition. From the outset, it draws you into a world populated by characters grappling with relatable struggles, their journeys unfolding with a delicate balance of vulnerability and resilience. The narrative, even without specific plot points, feels like a carefully woven tapestry, where each scene contributes to a larger, thematic resonance.

The performances are noteworthy, with the actors seemingly embodying their roles with a nuanced understanding of the emotional landscape. Their portrayals bring a palpable authenticity to the story, allowing the audience to connect with their joys, sorrows, and the myriad of complexities that lie between.

Visually, the film seems to employ a distinct aesthetic that serves to enhance the storytelling. Whether through sweeping landscapes or intimate close-ups, the cinematography appears to be a character in itself, adding layers of meaning and atmosphere. The pacing allows for moments of quiet reflection, interspersed with sequences that propel the narrative forward with a compelling rhythm.

While the specifics of the plot remain unseen, the film's strength lies in its ability to evoke universal emotions and spark introspection. It seems to delve into themes of connection, loss, identity, or perhaps the search for meaning in a world that often feels both vast and intimately personal.

Ultimately, this film promises to be an experience that lingers long after the credits roll, prompting contemplation and offering a fresh perspective on the intricacies of life. It's a testament to the power of storytelling to illuminate the shared human experience.

Its really the best movie in my life which i ever watched....😍😍. I like it lot. No words.

I rarely watches movies caz i dont find content and they usually lost track caz of drama and this film even in times romance they really made it ahh cute romance and as i said its the best movie for me.

I can watch it many times instewad of just watching once hardly like other m0ovies. Yare yare i usually cry for normal sad scenes lol and for this i had cried all 2nd part 😢its really good guys, this should reach everyone and understand the content

THANKS SUMANTH AND DIRECTOR FOR DELIVERING GREAT MOVIE..😍

It's a light hearted movie and actors were nailed their performance, after a long time I felt like a warmth in my heart after watching the film. And ETV WIN you have secure a another gem in you bucket and recently we have observed a drastic change in you story picking in past #90 and now anagana please don't don't go for the high action films we all want to be in our 90's and please make that possible. Coming to Sumantha sir what a fabulous job and you secured a another diamond in your bucket. I after a long time after watching Jersey I feel like this movie justified the father and son bond. We kindly request you both to please continue to do these kind of films.

Just watched Anaganaga and I really liked it.

The way they narrated the whole movie... very neat and emotional. It reminded me of one thing strongly: life itself is a story. Every human has their own story, but in the rush of daily life, we forget to actually live it. That's where life becomes messy. This movie touched that point so well.

Sumanth delivered one of his finest performances.

He didn't just act, he lived the role. His emotions, the way he handled scenes with the kid... everything felt so natural. Honestly, his performance gave the story a whole new feel. Especially toward the end, I became a little emotional. That last stretch really hits.

The kid who played Ram also did a great job.

His character was written nicely, and the boy acted perfectly. Nothing overacted or forced, just straight from the heart.

And the biggest highlight for me: Vyas sets a new trend in education.

Instead of the usual textbook teaching, he tells every subject as a story. That method connects with kids beautifully. It's creative, emotional, and makes you think... why can't real schools be like this?

What I liked most is there were no unwanted scenes, no timepass comedy, no forced romance.

Just clean narration and storytelling. Every scene had meaning. The story moved like a gentle breeze... simple but very touching. (Except that "failure badge" bit, which felt a bit impractical to me.)

The main essence of the film is storytelling and visualising life differently.

That idea stayed with me even after the movie.

Overall: Anaganaga is a soulful, feel-good film. If you enjoy emotional stories with a good message, this one is definitely worth watching.

For me, the movie was a breeze.

I usually don't write reviews on IMDb and only give ratings, but "Anaganaga" touched me so deeply that I felt compelled to share my thoughts. This film is not just a movie-it's an emotional journey that beautifully portrays the bond between a father and son while also shedding light on the flaws in our education system. Sumanth delivers a calm and heartfelt performance, and Master Viharsh is absolutely brilliant. The second half is especially moving and brought me to tears in almost every scene. Director Sunny Sanjay deserves huge applause for such sincere storytelling, supported by meaningful dialogues and a strong supporting cast. Every parent and child should watch this film-it's a reminder of the emotional connections we often overlook. A heartfelt thanks to the entire Anaganaga team for creating something so special. This movie will stay with me for a long time.

This is the first review I've ever written, and it's for something that genuinely left a mark on me. I've experienced a lot of stories-books, movies, games-but rarely have I come across one that shook me to my core, made me reflect on my life, and moved me to tears. What I experienced wasn't just entertainment-it was a deeply personal emotional journey, one that I'll carry with me for a long time.

From the very beginning, I felt an immediate connection-not just with the characters or the setting, but with the emotion of it all. There was something raw and unfiltered about how it unfolded. It didn't try too hard, yet it reached straight into the heart. Every moment felt intentional, every scene layered with meaning. Whether it was the pain of loss, the struggle to keep going, or the quiet moments of hope, it all resonated deeply.

I think what struck me most was how human it all felt. We all carry burdens. We all hide parts of ourselves. And somehow, this story found a way to speak to those hidden parts-to the doubts, the regrets, the moments of joy we think no one else understands. It was as if someone had taken pieces of my own life-my fears, my dreams, my pain-and reflected them back at me with honesty and compassion.

There were times I had to pause and just sit with what I was feeling. Some moments hit so hard, I found myself crying without even realizing it. And not just because something sad happened, but because the story made me feel-really feel-in a way I hadn't in a long time. It reminded me that being vulnerable doesn't mean being weak. It means being real. It means being alive.

The emotional roller coaster was intense. There were moments of devastation, of raw grief that seemed to reach into the soul. But there were also moments of light-subtle, beautiful reminders that even in our darkest times, there's still something worth holding on to. That contrast-the heartbreak and the healing-is what made it so powerful. It didn't shy away from pain, but it also didn't let it define everything. It showed that hope can still exist, even in the smallest of gestures.

It's hard to describe the full impact without giving away details, and I genuinely believe this is something best experienced without knowing too much. Go into it open-hearted. Let it speak to you in its own way. You might see yourself in the characters. You might be reminded of someone you've lost or someone you love. Or you might simply find comfort in knowing that your emotions are valid, and that someone, somewhere, understands.

I never thought I'd be writing a review, but some stories deserve to be acknowledged. They deserve to be shared. And this one? It changed me. It gave me something I didn't even know I needed. Maybe it will do the same for you.

So if you're ready for something honest, beautiful, and emotionally rich-something that might leave you in tears but also quietly hopeful-then don't hesitate. Let yourself feel. Let yourself be moved.

Because sometimes, the most unforgettable stories are the ones that break your heart just enough to let the light in.

This is the best movie i have seen in 2025 and it's very good film everyone should watch it. Where this generation kids need this type of story telling system to make education easy and story ending was so heart touching and emotional bonding between father and son. The characterisation was brilliant and every role made perfect play, especially sumanth sir and kid roles are amazing. And special thanks to SUMANTH Sir, please make more more movies and we all love you sooo much. We all love your passion towards acting and your a great performer and down to earth person. Thanks to everyone for this wonderful film.

Very good movie with good acting and well performance. Especially the 2nd half was literally very emotional I never cried by seeing a movie in this way all the credits goes to director, actors, what a story mannn. Simply superb. Sumanth acting was very natural, and ni words for the acting of the child while he delivering the dailogs in some scenes i literally got tears. I don't know why I am crying but the tears are going on. This story is perfectly suits for this generation all the parents and kids should must and watch this beautiful master peice. I think this movie will get many national awards...

In a cinematic world often filled with fast-paced action and loud spectacles, this movie arrives like a warm hug on a quiet day. It's a super feel-good film, tailor-made for kids and parents to enjoy together. With its gentle pace and heartwarming storyline, it offers a refreshing change-something that soothes the soul rather than overwhelms the senses.

From the very first scene, the film sets a pleasant and peaceful tone. The visuals are soft and colorful, with settings that feel cozy and inviting. The soundtrack is light and cheerful, perfectly matched to the movie's calm rhythm. There's never a moment of stress or fear-just pure, comforting storytelling that brings a smile to your face.

The story is simple but meaningful. It follows a young protagonist (who kids will instantly relate to) on a small, personal journey filled with wonder, kindness, and gentle lessons about love, family, and friendship. Parents will appreciate the film's emphasis on values, while children will be enchanted by the characters' warmth and charm.

What makes this movie truly special is its ability to connect generations. It's one of those rare films that encourages families to slow down, share laughter, and feel good together. Whether it's cuddled up on the couch or at a quiet matinee showing, this is a film to watch with your heart open.

Final Verdict: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A beautifully calm and joyful experience that's as comforting as a bedtime story. A must-watch for families looking to share a peaceful movie night together.

Thats an loving script. Full of emotion sentiment and heartmeling visuals and dialogues,and there no much twisted screenplay and pure direction. And this could be good movie in tollywood in the category of emotional drama of 2025. After long time best film by sumanth..,this movie has little fun , more sentiment, too little romance, more love and more effection . In my opinion this movie is more then onetime watch actually i dont like emotional movie but this was too good in that category. Really this 100000 times better then skanda and many other movies that are launched in recent times. I recommend to watch... thank you 😊

Very Decent movie these days with wonderful story telling regarding Indian school system, family relationship and values.. Excellent screenplay and explains lifes keep going forward and never stops for anyone. Very engaging story beautiful music, must encourage and support small budget movies. Highly Recommend watching.

Atleast now our Indian Education school system should take an intiative for a change. Worth watching with famiy.

Greatest movie of all time, Classy movie. The acting of Sumanth garu and little guy make us cry, literally my eyes are filled with tears. The direction and cinematography are on top. Above all the beautiful story makes us to learn acquiring knowledge, removes stage fear, stop mugging. Most of the kids face these situations in childhood in my days I too faced those problems. Parents and teachers force make us feel more burden. I hope who watches this movie teachers, parents and children used to change and also our education system also changed. Teach like story to grasp fast below 10 classes...
