Movie Verdict
The movie starts off well by introducing all the key characters in the beginning and pulls you into the film and makes you part of it, though the story is not new, the character’s design make you a fresh experience, However, the first half went with engaging comedy scenes, though the fun generated in the second half for a while but deeply delve into serious mode and the serious narrative make you lost the smile on your face, again the climax makes you laugh.
Santhosh Shoban as Viplav killed it though in a few scenes his performance looks regular, However, he impressed with his brilliant comedy timing, Farida as Vasuda has got a great chance to prove herself and she effortlessly pulled the Vasuda role, she has good comic timing as well, Sudharshan, Bramhaji, Sapthagiri are generated fun as per the story requires and the rest of the cast did well.
Merlapaka Gandhi who was impressed with his debut film called Venkatadri Express his way of dealing with comedy impressed many audiences, later he made a few films but did,nt get success but now it seems he will get hit with Like Share and Subscribe, though there are flaws in the second half but succeeded in making an engaging comedy.
Technically, the Like Share, and Subscribe movie is good but could have been better and A Vasanth’s cinematography is partly good, Praveen Lakkaraju is one of the most underrated composers, as he has given the best music for Merlapaka Gandhi’s films like Express Raja, was one of the successful albums but Like Share and Subscribe songs didn’t register at all and BGM also not up to the mark.
Overall, Like Share, and Subscribe is a decent comedy action entertainer to watch every section of the audience.
