Alajadi Analysis:
Kanupapa is said to be gaining strength with positive mouth talk. The movie opened well with tough competition from Nenu Local. However both the movies received positive reviews. The dubbing was done well. Kudos to the producers who released the film in Telugu with sound technical aspects. All in all Mohan Lal is the one man army of Kanupapa.
Actors Performance:
Mohan Lal: He impresses as a blind person who has the talent to identify people who passes by his side.
Samuhirakhani: He is good as a villain but he did not get much dialogues.
Baby Meenakshi: She done as Nandini, deserve special appreciation for her work.
Vimala Raman and Anusree are OK in their roles. Others performed according to their roles.
Technical Team Performance:
Music is just average. Songs are pretty ordinary and tunes resemble that of old films. Background score makes good impression elevating the film to new level. Cinematography beatified the scenic beauty in the film. Editing is OK and could have been better as the film is slow paced. Production values are apt. Despite shortcomings like slow pace and unnatural dialogue, his acting makes Priyadarshan’s Kanupapa a decent watch.

Minus points:
