Summer Holidays Story Review:
The film Set back in 2001, the story follows Ravuri Venkatesh (Arun Dev), a young boy constantly pushed by his father (Harsha Vardhan) to concentrate on education and achieve good grades. But Venkatesh has other interests and wants to enjoy life rather than spend all his time studying, which is much to his father’s disappointment.
His mother Janaki (Vasuki) takes him to her native village name called Thotavaripalem During the summer vacation where he crosses paths with Kasi Venkatesawarlu (Rohan Roy). Unlike Venkatesh, Kasi has no real interest in education and dreams of making money so he can live life on his own terms. Despite their contrasting personalities and outlooks, the two quickly develop a close friendship. The experiences, adventures and changes that come into their lives from this point form the heart of the film.

Technical Aspects:
Talking about the technical Aspects. The BGM and song provided by Sinjith Yerramilli is good. The editing is also good. The cinematography is also good. All the scenes in the film are shown very beautifully. As mentioned earlier, director Srikar Nayan impressed with his direction but slow narration and emotional track is not good. he must be work in that eras. The production values maintained by the film’s producers Dheeraj Mogilineni and Giribabu Vallabhaneni are good.
Verdict:
In this feel-good nostalgia and emotional drama called Summer Holidays, the main theme and the drama that takes you back to childhood memories were the main things that impressed everyone. The climax was also impressive mostly but Underwritten Emotional Tracks and no comedy is a major drawback for the film. Also some scenes were slow with regular screenplay. Overall, the good performance of the actors in this film, as well as the good work provided by the technical department and some emotional elements were also impressive.
Bottom-line: One time watchable with family
