Production

The film was announced to be a romantic comedy directed by newcomer Saahith Mothkuri.[1] It was initially announced that Rashmi Gautam would star as the female lead and feature music by Prashanth R Vihari; however, these reports proved to be false.[2] The film's main characters include a horse, Nandu, and Priyanka Sharma.[3][4][5] Nandu portrayed a man from a slum in the film.[6]

Soundtrack

The songs were composed by Shekar Chandra.[7] A single "Nee Kannulu" was released in October 2019.[8] The song "Undipova Nuvvila" written by Purna Chary gained attention upon release.[9]

Release and reception

The film was released on 7 February 2020.[10][11][6] Film Companion wrote that "The biggest problem is that it just doesn’t know how to handle its drama".[12] The Times of India gave the film a rating of two-and-half out of five and stated that "With the kind of set-up given and nothing exciting panning out, Savaari doesn’t leave you with a smile on your face".[13] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "The film does not have a strong conflict point and has been narrated on a dull note. The emotions showcased in many areas are fake and do not hit you hard.".[14]
