Artists Performance

 Srikanth is good as the cable operator. He imitated Chiranjeevi at times and it all appeared pretty natural. Debutant Lakshmi Roy is a disappointment. Sunil is good as assistant of Srikanth. Satyanarayana and Annapurna are adequate. Among the gang of comedy villains, Krishna Bhagawan is better. Venu Madhav is adequate. Allari Subhashini did a respectable role in this film.

Technical Departments:

Story - screenplay - direction: Debutant director Pardha Saradhi came up with an interesting story idea. But he could not support it with logical screenplay. Screenplay of the film is inadequate. Direction is not up to the mark. Narration of the film is sloppy. The following points in the script sound unconvincing -

1. Mother (Annapurna) not able to recognize that the girl who entered her house is fake Kanchanamala.
2. The live coverage of events in climax.

Other departments: Music by KM Radha Krishna is decent. A couple of songs hold your attention. Lyrics by Veturi are excellent. Cinematography by Poori is adequate. Dialogues by Marudhuri Raja are good, but director could not get the comedy timing and punch right while canning the film. Editing by Srikar Prasad is OK.

Analysis: First half of the film is mediocre. The second half is a letdown. The plus points of the film are music, lyrics and a few comedy scenes. The minus points are screenplay, direction and heroine. On a whole Kanchanamala Cable TV disappoints.
