EVV, who has made movies like 'Hello Brother', 'Jambalakidipamba', 'Aaa Okkatte Addaku' gives an all time best Telugu comedy in Kithakithalu. In rare movies you find all comedians contributing their talent. His selection of Krishna Bhagwan as the sidekick of Naresh has paid off well, for Krishna Bhagwan is known to evoke laughter with a deadpan expression combining with perfect timing to deliver the dialogues. Sunil brings the house down with the brief appearance that he makes in Kithakithalu. The only complain you might have is: several comedians have very brief roles. When the movie is of 16 reels, has all the comedians in the industry in it, and when every actor tries to make you laugh, this is inevitable.

Apart from comedy the movie has a good script. 'Fat girls are sexy too' isn't the exact message Kithakithalu tries to send across. Through belly bursting comedy Kithakithalu tries to preach that a married person should be happy with his better half and should not hanker for beautiful babes. Fair enough. But the movie goes a step further and stipulates that even if the wife is obese and not up to the husband's liking in the first place he has to accept her if she has good character. Hmm. Traditional values, but very peaceful. The movie shows how straying can be disastrous in a humorous way.
