Sundeep Kishan and Rao Ramesh’s latest Telugu film, Mazaka, has hit the screens and sparked a wave of reactions on social media. Released on Maha Shivratri, the family entertainer directed by Trinadha Rao Nakkina is produced under the banners of Hasya Movies and Zee Studios.
While the film has divided audiences, the comedy and performances, especially Rao Ramesh’s role, have been widely appreciated.
Mazaka Twitter Reviews: Fans Praise Rao Ramesh, Mixed Reactions for Plot
Film trade analyst Ramesh Bala took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote,
“Blockbuster talk all over for #Mazaka! Audiences of all age groups enjoyed the fun ride.”
However, reactions from general viewers were more varied.

One user criticized the film’s comedy approach, writing,
“You either create a world fitting for your characters or bring out-of-place comedy into a general world, like Dumb and Dumber. #Mazaka fails as it throws everything at the wall to see what sticks. Unfortunately, none hit the target.”
Another review highlighted the film’s strengths and weaknesses, stating,
“#Mazaka is an average entertainer. The first half focuses well on comedy but loses momentum in the second half, before picking up at the climax. The ‘Love Letter’ and interval sequences, along with Ajay’s phone call scene, are hilarious. Rao Ramesh excels, while Sundeep Kishan is also good.”
Praising the film’s humor and performances, a user rated the film 3/5, tweeting,
“Comedy entertainer #Mazaka! Hilarious first half, okay second half. Rao Ramesh’s character, comedy scenes, and dialogues worked well. Congratulations @sundeepkishan.”
