8:55 am :
Film just started. Stay tuned for LIVE updates on 'Mahanati'..
9:02 am :
The film opens with Savitri (Keerthy Suresh) being hospitalized. Samantha Akkineni is a budding journalist who is being forced into marriage by her conservative parents. Is she a stammerer?
9:09 am :
Vijay Devarakonda enters the screen as an imaginative photo journalist whose creativity nobody recognizes. Dulquer Salman as Gemini Ganesan gets angry with media in his opening scene.
9:15 am :
KV Reddy challenges Savitri to get her tears spot on. She takes up. The iconic director is shocked pleasantly. A superb intro scene.
9:28 am :
Savitri's life is narrated in installments and not necessarily conventionally. Savitri learns dance only because her late father was a Hari Das exponent.
9:35 am :
Naga Chaitanya as ANR makes a brief entry at a time when Savitri is still a stage artiste. Shalini Pandey cast as her fellow performer. Rajendra Prasad as her guardian is lighter veined.
9:44 am :
The way Savitri interacts with SV Ranga Rao (Mohan Babu) for the first time is amusing. Dulquer's first scene with Keerthy is a revelation. Rajendra Prasad's comedy is modern and a bit out of place
10:00 am :
Srinivas Avasarala as LV Prasad writes off Savitri. Keerthy Suresh's demeanor conveys comedy. Could it have been different?
10:07 am :
'Prathyeka Telugu rashtram kavalani Tamil lo adugutunnaru', Gemini Ganesan says. 'Bhasha dhi emundi lendi.. Bhavam mukhyam,' Savitri throws a repartee. Talk of niceties.
10:17 am :
The story of Devdas is mentioned in the real-life conversations between Ganesan and Savitri. Ganesan's deviant views about marriage initially unsettle Savitri. 'Pelli aina vadu premalo padithe adhi pelli ki pareeksho, prema ku pareeksho,' a line goes.
10:23 am :
Interval
10:42 am :
Who is Shankaraiah in Savitri's life? This is one suspenseful thread sustained from the first half.
10:56 am :
Samantha shines in the role of a journalist pining for a breakthrough in reportage about Savitri's life. The 'Maayabazar' episode is scintillating.
11:07 am :
As Gemini Ganesan's ego is hurt, the drama gathers momentum. A treat to watch the conflict unfold. Mahesh Achanta seen.
11:23 am :
Savitri's emotional outbursts are heart rending to watch. Her inability to cope with personal shocks leads her towards destructive habits
11:46 am :
The story of Samantha and Vijay Devarakonda looks stretched. That too at a time when the audience wants to invest more in Savitri's story. Was the track meant to give the audience a break from Savitri's tribulations?
11:58 am :
Samantha's last act is a rich tribute to the human being that Savitri was. The end.
