Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu X reactions
Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu's review on X paints a divided picture. While several viewers described the film as routine and average, Chiranjeevi's fans were quick to celebrate his comeback, crediting him as the film's biggest strength.
One post read, “One word – EXCELLENT FILM. Chiranjeevi THE BOSS IS BACK. Nayanthara is perfect for this role. Anil Ravipudi knows the family pulse,” calling it a complete entertainer. Another viewer urged audiences to watch it with family, praising the sound and festive appeal.

Chiranjeevi fans react to the film
Not all reactions were glowing. Some viewers pointed out that while the first half benefits from Chiranjeevi’s comic timing, the second half loses steam with repetitive humour and a weak antagonist. Despite these flaws, many agreed that Chiranjeevi carries the film almost entirely, making it a passable festive watch for a section of the audience.
