The film 'Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu' is receiving praise from fans for Chiranjeevi's comic timing and performance, with many calling it 'vintage mega magic.' Reviewers highlight director Anil Ravipudi's understanding of Chiranjeevi's comedic strengths, reminiscent of his golden era. The film's first half is described as a treat with punchlines and self-satire, while Venkatesh's appearance adds warmth. However, one review noted the first half as average and the second half as poor, calling it potentially Anil Ravipudi's first flop.
