Paruchuri Gopala Krishna is an esteemed screenwriter in Telugu cinema, with over 350 films under his name. He is quite popular among netizens for his analysis of contemporary Indian films on YouTube under the brand name ‘Paruchuri Palukulu’ or ‘Paruchuri Paatalu’. While the legendary writer generally stays away from criticism, in recent times he’s been critical of films that don’t please him.
Back in 2020, he angered Mahesh Babu fans for his comments on the Sankranthi release Sarileru Neekevvaru. This time, he has once again made headlines for criticising Super Star’s latest flick, Guntur Kaaram (2024).
While Paruchuri began the episode by heaping praise on ‘Guruji’ Trivikram Srinivas in general, he didn’t take much time to point out the blatant flaws in his latest work. Labelling the script as ‘family subject’, he stated the film’s title, which gives a mass impression, is misleading and incorrect. He went on to say that the writer-director, who was focused on doing fan service, has failed to make the core emotions work. As most critics had said, he too felt the main characters, particularly Sreeleela’s, were poorly written. At the end, he brushed the disappointment off by wishing good luck for the future endeavours of Mahesh Babu and Trivikram.
