Story:
Krishna Balwant (Suhas) grows up dreaming of taking over his father, Rao Balwant’s (Naresh) business. However, his father keeps him completely away from it. Krishna grows up without even knowing what his father actually does for a living.
As he becomes an adult, he finally learns the shocking truth about his father’s “unspeakable” business. At the same time, he falls in love with Mithra (Shivani Nagaram). The rest of the story follows how Krishna deals with the reality of his father’s work and how he tries to win Mithra’s love while handling the emotional conflict.
Performances:
Suhas delivers a decent performance and carries the film well. Shivani Nagaram does her part neatly. Senior actor Naresh has a crucial role, but he does not get enough scope to fully showcase his talent. Still, he performs effectively in the key emotional scenes.
Sudharshan brings good comic relief in several scenes with his timing. Vennela Kishore, Harsha Vardhan, Ajay Ghosh, Sravanti Chokkarapu, and Annapurnamma are adequate in their respective roles.

What Works:
The scenes where the hero discovers the truth about his father’s business are engaging and entertaining. Sudharshan’s comedy adds life to many sequences.
The interval episode, which revolves around Suhas, Shivani Nagaram, and the “orthodox family” angle, works particularly well and generates solid laughs. The film also has a few emotional moments and fun scenes in the second half. Some emotional dialogues are good, though they are not very powerful.

What Doesn’t Work:
Director Gopi Atchara fails to properly shape Naresh’s character. In the first half, he is shown in a lighter, humorous way, but suddenly, in the second half, he is portrayed almost like a social reformer. This inconsistency affects the film’s flow.
The strong comedy rhythm seen in the first half slows down in the second half. The emotional scenes near the climax feel underdeveloped and lack depth.
The director could have explored the heroine’s NGO angle more effectively and used it to bring a meaningful change to the hero’s family business. That might have added a stronger emotional impact and made the story more satisfying.

Hey Balwanth Review and Verdict:
Gopi Atchara's Hey Balwanth had the potential to be both entertaining and meaningful. It starts well with a fun first half, but stumbles badly in a meandering second half that fails to deliver the required emotional punch.
