Anurag posted his review of Pallaburusu on Letterboxd, calling it a ‘refreshing departure’ from action films that resemble one another at his point. He wrote, “Beautiful film. So simple , keeps a smile on your face. such a refreshing departure from all the non stop action films which are replica of each other.” The filmmaker then stated that Uday is the next big thing after Venkatesh, adding, “After Venky Maha, Uday Chauhan is a filmmaker I look forward to.” He also rated the film a full 5 stars while posting the review.
Pallaburusu is directed by debutant director Uday Chauhan. It is produced by Annapurna Studios and EPIC Studios, and presented by Nagarjuna. It was released in theatres on August 14, ahead of the Independence Day weekend.
Set in rural Telangana, it tells the story of an old man who files a complaint against his adult son in the police station. His complaint is that his son refuses to buy him a toothbrush. What begins as a silly grievance soon escalates into a full-blown legal battle with years of grief, loneliness and more being exposed. Sudhakar Reddy and Muralidhar Goud play the father and son entangled in a legal battle.
Talking about the inspiration behind the film, Uday told HT, “I saw a 6-foot-tall, 70-year-old man sobbing in the middle of a graveyard in the fields. The image stayed with me for a long time. I wondered what could have happened to make him feel such grief, and that sparked the idea for Pallaburusu. It’s also inspired by things I’ve observed around me. While the story will be relatable, the why and what of their conflict is fresh.”
