Description: Super Machi is a 2022 Indian Telugu romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by debutant Puli Vasu. Produced by Rizwan Entertainment, the movie features Kalyaan Dhev and Rachita Ram in lead roles, with Rajendra Prasad, Naresh, and Posani Krishna Murali in supporting roles. The title draws inspiration from a song of the same name in the film *S/O Satyamurthy*. Production started in early 2019 but faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was finally released on January 14, 2022, aligning with the festival of Sankranti.
Starring Kalyaan Dhev, the son-in-law of Chiranjeevi, *Super Machi* marks his second film. The music was composed by S. Thaman. Initially, Rhea Chakraborty was cast as the female lead but was later replaced by Kannada actress Rachita Ram, making her Telugu debut. The film’s production experienced several disruptions, including script revisions and the pandemic-induced lockdown, before resuming in 2021 at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad.
The film was initially planned for a simultaneous release in Kannada under the title *This Property Belongs to Meenakshi*, but the Kannada version was eventually scrapped. Upon release, *The Times of India* rated the film 2.75/5, praising Kalyaan Dhev’s performance and the first half’s engaging drama. However, critics noted that the latter half lacked emotional depth. Other reviews highlighted the film’s innovative approach to a conventional storyline while pointing out flaws in execution. Despite mixed reviews, *Super Machi* remains a notable romantic drama with moments of entertainment.
