Story:

Shiva (Sandeep Saroj), Surya (Yaswanth Pendyala), Subbu (Thrinadh Varma), William (Eshwar Rachiraju), Peddodu (Prasad Behara), and others form a tight-knit group of friends in the village of Puroshotalapalli, located in West Godavari. Their friendship is characterized by a solid and unbreakable bond. However, an unexpected conflict arises among them, leading to an unfortunate incident that creates a rift in the village. Will the friends find a way to mend their differences after a 12-year gap? Will Bujji (Sai Kumar), a selfish politician, allow things to fall into the right place? The answers to these questions will be revealed in the remaining story.

Performances:

Sandeep Saroj, Thrinadh Varma, and Prasad Behara deliver solid performances while Eshwar Rachiraju, Manikanta Parasu, Lokesh Kumar Parimi, Shyam Kalyan, Raghuvaran, Shiva Kumar Matta, Akshay Srinivas, Raadhya, Tejaswi Rao, Teena Sravya, Vishika, and Shanmukhi Nagumanthri support with their commendable acting. Sai Kumar, Kancharapalem Kishore and Goparaju Ramana add value to the movie with their finest performances.

What worked for the film:

As said above, the actors' performances are very natural in the film. The music scored by Anudeep Dev is another major plus point for the film. The songs and background score align with the film's narrative and evoke the right emotion according to the situation. The scenes between friends in the first half of childhood and adolescence came out well. The intensity in the interval episode was stunning, and the crucial sequences in the second half also worked out.

What did not work for the film:

A few imporant scenes in the film could have been taken care. The reunion between the friends works, but the director should have established it more effectively. Also, the election episode near the climax did not have the right impact. Because of the predictability, the fight between Sarpanch and Committee Kurrollu does not have the right impact. 

Committee Kurrollu Review and Verdict:

Committee Kurrollu is an earnest attempt to deliver a nostalgic journey that pays off for most parts. The movie has a well-done mix of fun and emotions. The actors and technical departments all gave a collective effort, which made the film an enjoyable experience except for a few glitches.
