Analysis :
Kalyan Ram Nandamuri has excelled in each and every department with his measured performance by getting into the skin of the character. He exhibited good comedy timing, excelled in fights, shown great ease in dances, improved his dialogue delivery and transcended in emotional scenes. And at the same time, he never dominated any of the proceedings gave priority to story and narration. More importantly, he is looking very glamorous in 'Abhimanyu' compared to his debut film. He it appeared more apt when he said 'Maa vamsamlo andaru andagaalle' in this film.Spandana suited well the role of Muslim girl. She is spontaneous as well. Pavan Malhotra is terrific as the righteous Muslim father in that getup and he is good as usual. Suhasini excelled as the mother of hero and she gave a sensible performance in emotional scenes. Showkar Janaki played the sympathetic grand mother of heroine and she had an important role in climax when she convinces Pavan Malhotra. Venu Madhav provided good comedy as a buddy of hero. After a long gap Telangana Sakuntala got a different role.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film deals with love story. Interval bang is the separation. Second half deals with hero fighting back to marry his lady love. First half is decent. The tempo in second half gone down a bit. But the lead scenes to climax and the climax are shot well. There is tremendous response in theater when Suhasini asks hero to go fetch back the heroine in climax. Just the way Aswini Dutt's 'Student No.1' gave lift to career of NTR (Jr), Abhimanyu film would be giving lift to Kalyan Ram's career. Abhimanyu is a minimum guarantee film that has fair chances to become hit with right kind of promotion.
