Didnt ve time to review it comprehensively. But, still I cant stop myself from writing a few lines...

Naa Autograph... as the name suggests is supposedly a biography.

"Isnt biography a bit of too much for our Telugu movies?", I thought and decided to try.

Though it is not exactly a biography, it is a sincere, entertaining and well-told story of somebodys life till his wedding acutally happens.

Its about the giant whirlpool of memories... those school days, college days, parent-child clashes, first crushes, lost loves, rising-from-ashes stuff, finding that-best friend, job hunts, finally satisfied arranged marriage etc...

Its about reminding us not to forget that we cant "plan" things in life... to keep going on with the breeze...

Its about telling us sweetly that life is the summation of all the compromises that you make daily... and even then, its worth living.

When you sit down to list the people whom you plan to call for the wedding... you flashback your days, your level-best not to miss out on anyone who means something to you... thats where the movie takes off...

And thank goodness, there is no typical-TeluguMovies-forced-and-vulgar-humour.

Donno much abt the credits, but the music is by Keeravani.. and is pretty good. Chitra's Maunangane deserves special mention, it plucks your heart strings. Lyrics by Chandrabose are excellent.

After Missamma, this is the next (and only) Telugu movie that I liked.

Try to catch it up somewhere, sometime... and get ready to call me for your marriage. :)
