"Sagileti Katha" sets its story in the dry lands of Sagileru, a village in Rayalaseema. The tale revolves around the intertwined lives of Sagileru President Chowdappa, RMP Dorasami, and their children—Kumar and Krishna Kumari. Amidst organizing a Gangalamma fair, love sparks between the two youngsters, leading to unexpected conflicts and twists during the event.
However, the film's narrative lacks cohesion, struggling to maintain engagement and coherence. The pacing feels sluggish, and certain parts seem detached from the main storyline. Even though the interval sequence aims for excitement, it doesn't quite hit the mark.
Director Rajasekhar Sudmoon presents an authentic rural setting with relatable characters. Lead actor Ravi Mahadasyam and heroine Vishika Lakshman deliver commendable performances. The supporting cast, including Narasimha Prasad Panthagani and Rajasekhar, breathe life into their roles.
Jaswanth Pasupuleti's music, especially a thematic song driving the story, stands out. Moments like Chowdappa and Dorasami's confrontation at the fair and the impactful climax leave an impression.
While the film explores love and emotion, it falls short in fully delving into these themes due to an underwhelming screenplay. There's untapped potential in the narrative that needed more attention. The music by Jaswanth Pasupuleti, particularly the initial and final songs, adds depth. Sanal Vasudev's background score elevates key scenes.
In summary, "Sagileti Katha" offers an intriguing plot but falters in execution. Starting promisingly, it quickly loses momentum due to screenplay issues, delivering a rather routine village drama.
