Moviegoers are saying
This Telugu spoof comedy divides audiences with its ambitious parody of popular films - while some praise it as part of a refreshing trend alongside 'Funky' and 'Jetlee', others find it an exhausting watch with comedy that doesn't quite land. Sree Vishnu's extended cameo emerges as the unanimous savior, delivering whistle-worthy moments that keep viewers engaged.

    #GaayaPaddaSimham (Telugu) {2.75/5} - 👍🏻👍🏻 A decent storyline backed with quirky one-liners that keep the comedy flowing throughout. Tharun gave it his all, while JD Chakravarthy was superb as always. Faria Abdullah and Manasa looked gorgeous on screen. The director…

    Though the idea feels interesting enough for a quirky comedy, the film is very tough to sit through. The spoofs, comedy tracks, and references don’t land and feel random, making it an exhausting watch overall.
