'Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty' is a feel-good romantic drama that hits all the right notes. It feels like a warm hug on a cold day, offering simplicity and sensitivity in dealing with taboo topics.


A crowd-pleasing rom-com with a strong lead turn that loses its nerve in the storytelling.

Critic consensus
Critics are divided on this romantic comedy, with some finding it a warm, feel-good watch that handles unconventional subject matter with sensitivity, while others found it too predictable and emotionally shallow. Naveen Polishetty's performance drew consistent praise, and Anushka Shetty's return to screens was welcomed. The more critical voices argued that the film's unconventional premise was undercut by a conventional narrative structure that failed to generate genuine emotional engagement. The result is a film that works in patches but does not fully deliver on its setup.

Film review
Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty is a delightful romantic comedy that's worth your money. This is a great comeback for Anushka Shetty and a hit again for Naveen Polishetty.

Walking out of the theatre, I am convinced that the love story between Siddu and Anvitha should have been the vishesham while the unconventional nature of their meet-cute should have rather been a vishayam. What we do get here are two conventional tales — of a man, Siddu, growing up and of another man, the film's director Mahesh Babu P narrating a series of shocks that barely register, let alone sink in, owing to a narrative that offers little to feel about.

Naveen shines in this rom-com that doesn't always work

Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty has its fun moments but offers nothing more. The sheer predictability is a letdown and added to that, the lack of emotional depth.
