Mem Famous Telugu Movie Analysis:
Bringing a scene written on paper to the screen is not easy! Especially comedy! 100 percent screen? There is no obstacle for that movie in the box office circle. A good example of that is... 'Jati Ratnalu'. Now the mention of that movie is because... it seems that 'Mem Famous' was made in the spirit of that movie. Three friends in this movie, some may remember shades of 'Jati Ratnalu' in the opening scenes. However, it doesn't have as much comedy as that movie. Keeping the comparison aside, just coming to this movie...
'Mem Famous' has a youth-filled comedy. For example... lipstick spoiler character scenes! There are some scenes that the common audience can relate to. Emotional scenes between friends are good. The depth in the scene where Maradala expresses her love for her brother-in-law will impress young and old.
However, depth is missing in the story. Saying dialogues like 'Raithe Raju' is not enough in the course of the story. Also, telling Durga about his father's acquisition of two acres of land seems to be an attempt to take up space and convey some other message, forcing emotions into the story.
Director Sumanth Prabhas struggled to balance comedy and emotions in the story. It was okay when the Panchayat was put up for the first time. Again and again, Panchayat is said to be 'nothing lolli'. Lipstick spoiler scenes are okay in trying to be famous. The rest are already parodies of scenes seen on YouTube. They are not that impressive. The story lacked novelty. In the background of Telangana, they took a bottle and filled it with old cargo.
For rest, then the film is stretched to wait for the Shubham card. The length is longer. It would have been better if some unnecessary scenes were cut. The cinematography is ok. Kalyan Nayak showed more talent in background music than vocals. He gave an emotional high in the scenes before the break. The production values are inferior to the story.

Mem Famous Movie Actors Performance:
Sumanth Prabhas as the hero is ok. Improvisation is still needed while doing emotional scenes. Mani and Maurya have done well as the hero's friends. Sarya looked like a girl next door and not a commercial heroine. YouTuber Siri Rasi got a character with screen space. Anji Mama, Kiran Machha, Muralidhar Goud of 'DJ Tillu' fame have done justice to their roles. Siva Nandan's comedy as a lipstick spoiler is well-timed.
Finally what? : Some comedy scenes, some emotion... That's all there is in 'Mem Famous'! If you want to enjoy parts by parts, you can go to theaters. Or you can wait till it comes in OTT. There is famous in the title but there is no famous stuff in the movie.
