ASHTA CHAMMA SERIAL EPISODE REVIEW: A Retro-Flick Revival?

In today's fast-paced world where reality TV shows reign supreme, it is refreshing to come across a serial that harkens back to the simpler days of Indian television. AShta Chamma, an ongoing Telugu language soap opera airing on ETV Telugu, has been making waves among retro-film buffs and nostalgic viewers alike with its old-school charm and relatable storylines.

The show follows the lives of five friends - Srinivas (played by Taraka Rama Rao), Prasad (Ramayya Sastry), Harischandra Prasad (Raghu Babu) - as they navigate their way through love, friendship, career aspirations, and life's numerous ups and downs in 1980s Hyderabad. The serial is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many who grew up watching classic Telugu films like ‘Chiranjeevi’s Chameekatha Chinukudu’ or ‘Sridevi’s Kalyana Kalakal'.

With its engaging narrative, well-developed characters, and retro music score by Thaman S., AShta Chamma is sure to transport viewers back in time. The show's creators have gone the extra mile to recreate the authentic feel of 80s Telugu cinema - from the fashion choices to the dialogue delivery.

However, one must admit that some elements may seem dated or even cringe-worthy for modern audiences accustomed to more polished production values and contemporary storylines. Nevertheless, these minor quibbles only add to AShta Chamma's charm as a throwback serial meant primarily for older viewers who remember those simpler days of Indian television.

Overall, if you're looking for an entertaining dose of nostalgia or simply want to experience what Telugu serials were like decades ago without spending too much money at the movies (or streaming services), then AShta Chamma might just be your cup of masala tea!

Rating: 3.5/5 stars
