Hello friends, most people think that Couple Friendly is a romantic drama movie. Yes, it is completely correct, but its small part represents the struggle of men to earn money. Couple Friendly is the mixture of several emotions like romance, drama, emotion, and comedy. Back to the topic, after Mannaasai (2024) and Kadhaipoma (2021), director and writer Ashwin Chandrasekhar once again comes with Couple Friendly, a romantic drama movie where Santosh Soban and Manasa Varanasi appear in the lead cast.

First half is a mixture of romantic drama and some struggle scenes from the hero and heroine to earn money, while the second half is only for those people who love internal conflicts between couples, especially those audiences who love TV serials, especially females, like Saas Kabhi Bahu Thi, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and more.

After being popular from Thanu Nenu (2015) and Paper Boy (2018), Chittajalu Santosh Sobhan, aka Santosh Sobhan, once again appears in Couple Friendly, where he plays the role of Siva, who is a budding interior designer and struggling to get a new project. In the first half, his romantic scenes with Manasa Varanasi are beautifully arranged, with Aditya Ravindran's background music adding more romantic taste to this film, but in the second half, his performance is decent, but some scenes look artificial, with no emotions included.

Minus Points (-)

First half is very engaging and interesting compared to the second half, where romantic scenes between Santosh Soban, Manasa Varanasi, and Aditya Ravindran and background music are the real strength of this movie.
