Read: Touch Chesi Chudu review | Chalo Movie stills
Chalo is a romantic comedy movie, written and directed by debutant Venky Kudumula. The film is produced by Usha Mulpuri under the banner Ira Creations. The movie has received a U/A certificate from the censor board and it has a runtime of 2.25 hours.
Chalo movie story: The film revolves around the story of Hari (Naga Shourya), who finds joy in fights. Fed up with his nature, his parents send him to a place called Tirupppuram, which is divided into half by the Tamil and Telugu people and neither of the groups enters the other's perimeter.
Hari's parents think that he will stop fighting after seeing these groups. But the twist in the tale is that Hari falls in love with a Tamil girl Karthika (Rashmika). What happens next forms the crux of the story.
Analysis: Chalo deals with a routine romance story and its screenplay is predictable in parts. The director manages to keep you engaged with some interesting comedy and romantic scenes, say the audience.
Performances: Naga Shaurya and Rashmika Mandanna have delivered good performances and the sparkling chemistry between the two is the highlight of the movie. Achyuth Kumar, Naresh, Viva Harsha, Raghu Babu, Pragathi, Praveen, Satya, Sudharshan and Rajendran have done justice to their roles and they are also assets of the movie, say the filmgoers.
Technical: Chalo has good production values. songs and background score, picturisation, punch dialogues, action and dance choreography, say the viewers.

#Chalo is a timepass entertainer..Good 1st half, 2nd half started on dull note but @vennelakishore saved it..climax could be better. #NagaShourya ,Satya and #Rashmika were good..Good direction debut by Venky..Dialogues need special note..Overall a enjoyable entertainer

#Chalo is a decent rom-com with interesting premise. Curious set-up, promising love story and Satya 's comedy make-up for good first half. Second half is the downer by its farcical comedy. Nagshourya and Rashmika are good. Cinematography & Vennela Kishore are top class.

A predictable and illogical village story blended with a over the top comedy which leaves you in the audience chair where you can neither enjoy completely nor get disappointed. #Chalo for timepass! Comedy and Cast songs
