Let’s see how the film performed and whether it connects with today’s audience.

Story & Highlights

The story revolves around Siddharth (Nara Rohit), a man in his 30s who is keen to get married but rejects proposals as he wants his bride to have five special qualities. He finally meets Aira (Vrithi Vaghani), who fits his dream perfectly. However, Aira’s mother Vaishnavi (Sridevi Vijaykumar) strongly objects due to the big age gap. The shocking twist is that Vaishnavi was Siddharth’s first love during his school days. This unusual love triangle, filled with emotions and family drama, forms the heart of Sundarakanda. The film has a mix of light comedy, emotional moments, and strong dialogues that keep viewers engaged.

Review & Verdict

Nara Rohit delivers a strong performance in a challenging role, while Sridevi Vijaykumar adds grace and depth to the story. Vrithi Vaghani is impressive as the young heroine, and comedian Satya brings laughs with his excellent timing. The music by Leon James is decent, with background score standing out more than the songs. Cinematography is pleasing, though editing could have been sharper. Overall, Sundarakanda is a bold attempt that blends emotions and comedy, making it a decent family entertainer.
