ViralWhySaptha Sagaraalu Saptha Girulu
Romantic fantasy drama · released 9 Oct 2026 · Telugu version of the Tamil film Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai · V House Productions
Critics found it hard going, and almost no one in Telugu is talking about it. Most critics rate it 1.25 to 2.5 out of 5: interesting ideas and good work from Nivin Pauly, Anjali and Soori, undone by jarring AI-made visuals and a narrative that never comes together. We found one Telugu YouTube review, which is negative, and no Telugu comments.

Critic reviews
| Critic | Verdict | In brief |
|---|---|---|
| The Week Sajin Shrijith | 2.5/5 | Moments of tenderness and apt casting, but the AI-made imagery undercuts a film that preaches empathy. |
| Rediff Sreeju Sudhakaran | 2/5 | Fascinating existential ideas and a few enchanting moments, but the storylines never cohere; a simpler lovers-across-lifetimes tale would have worked. |
| Cinema Express Avinash Ramachandran | 2/5 | The eternal-love fairy tale and Nivin-Anjali portions shine, but train-bound sermons on human selfishness and a parade of animals derail it. |
| The Hollywood Reporter India Vishal Menon | positive | The AI imagery is jarring, but this is a dense, philosophical chamber drama about human nature that only Ram could make. |
| Asianet Newsable Amrita Ghosh | mixed | Lovely cinematography and forest scenes, but a slow first half and comedy that misfires; watchable once for Ram's admirers. |
| Cinejosh Rambabu | 1.25/5 | Calls the Telugu dub torture: an irritating story, miscast Nivin Pauly and weak VFX; only the music, camerawork and message earn credit. |
| 123telugu | 2/5 | A few interesting ideas and good work from Nivin Pauly and Soori, but heavy AI visuals, a dragging narrative and pointless climax exhaust. |
