9:16 am : Film just started. Watch this space for our LIVE updates.

9:20 am : Be on a 'Fidaa' mode Varun Tej convinces his brother to see a girl. It's Pelli Choopulu time and the scene shifts to Telangana from US. Sai Pallavi comes in as a mischievous girl

9:42 am : Sai Pallavi is a PSPK fan, but she also invokes Mahesh Babu's name. The banter between Varun and the heroine is interesting, much like in the trailer. The 'Premam' sensation clearly dominates the male lead

9:50 am : The film thankfully refuses to get into village tourism mode. The heroine continues to take potshots at the American lifestyle. Vachinde song takes off amidst the heroine using colloquials like 'Nee ayya'.

10:05 am : Treat to watch Sai Pallavi ask the hero to not be needlessly shy. Rubber is a word used for condoms in the US, tells the hero as the heroine uses it in Indian sense. That's Kammula-style comedy for you.

10:16 am : Banumathi (Sai Pallavi) is thinking in two minds. On a side note, it's characteristic of Kammula's characters to hold their ambience and way of life close to their heart

10:28 am : The interval ends on an emotional note. Mild humor, Sai Pallavi's performance and dialogues are highlights

10:45 am : Oosupodu song comes at an emotional moment. The inflection point may not be novel, but the narration makes the difference.

11:02 am : 'Nee kante better odni Maggi chesinantha easy ga pelli cheskunte', Sai Pallavi says, throwing up a challenge. Sathyam Rajesh revs up comedy quotient in the second half

11:15 am : Making it a new-age family entertainer is the vadina-maridi bonding as well. The heroine's adamance is a sticking point. Tharun Bhascker's mother evolves from being uninvolved to tickling the funny bone

11:32 am : The comedy has to be driven by the differences between the lead pair. But it's graceful without bordering on the low-brow. Varun and Sai Pallavi are terrific in an emotional fight

11:40 am : The climax comes along. Crests and throughs mark the relationship between the lead pair. Varun comes into his own, delivering an earnest performance, in the second half. Sai Pallavi continues to Fida-fy from word go

11:48 am : Respecting the girl's choice is an article of faith for the hero. Sai Chand as the girl's father passes muster. Sans melodrama, 'Fidaa' gets it going. The end.
