Analysis:

Naga Chaitanya, who has been eagerly waiting to deliver a hit has pinned high hopes on Majili and it generated good pre-release buzz with the promos and trailers. Samantha, who has been on a roll with consecutive hits had a great year so far with hits in multiple languages to her credit. This is their first movie together after the marriage and they both looked amazing on the screen. Majili has all elements to cater to youth and family and will be a good movie to watch this weekend. Shiva Nirvana who delivered a hit with Ninnu Kori is back in his elements and delivered an other solid performance oriented movie. He sure knows how to handle emotions. Overall, Majili makes a good festival watch and is a much needed hit for Naga Chaitanya.
