**Hyderabad, May 16, 2025** – “Anaganaga,” a new ETV original movie starring Sumanth Kumar, is now available for streaming on ETV Win. The film, directed by Sunny Sanjay, explores the conflict between traditional and concept-based learning within the modern education system.
Sumanth plays Vyas, a school teacher who champions concept-based learning, a philosophy at odds with his wife Bhagi (Kajal Choudhary), who is also the school’s principal. When their son and other students fail, Vyas is threatened with dismissal, forcing him to challenge the system and fight for his educational ideals.
Early reviews are mixed, with 123telugu.com giving the film a 3/5 rating. The review praises Sumanth’s powerful performance, highlighting his ability to convey emotional depth, drawing comparisons to his previous role in “Malli Raava.” Kajal Choudhary and Master Viharsh also receive positive mentions for their convincing portrayals. Avasarala Srinivas also delivers a decent performance.
While the film’s critique of rote learning and the pressure for high grades resonates, the review notes that the core concept feels somewhat dated. The plot, while relatable, is predictable and suffers from pacing issues in the first half. Furthermore, the portrayal of Vyas’s challenge to the school system is deemed lacking in depth.
Technically, “Anaganaga” is well-executed. Chandu Ravi’s music and Pavan Kumar’s cinematography contribute to the film’s atmosphere. The production design is also lauded for its fresh visual appeal.
Despite its flaws, “Anaganaga” is being recommended as a worthwhile watch on OTT platforms. The heartfelt emotions, strong performances, and relatable commentary on the education system make it a compelling social drama.
“Anaganaga” is produced by Rakesh Reddy Gadam and Rudra Madireddy, with Venkatesh Chunduru serving as editor. The cast also includes Anu Hasan, Rakesh Rachakonda, B.V.S. Ravi, and Kaumudi Nemani.
