Analysis :

The performance of Lawrence, the glamour slot filled by Sneha and Namitha and the mother-son sentiment all through the film are the major plus points of the movie. Lawrence, being a dancer by himself, showed good ease in dances and action scenes. He lived to the expectations of the mass audiences as the entire film was aimed at front benchers. It is quite surprising that Sneha, who was known as a girl who plays family girl roles, started oozing glamour.With the storyline being a routine one, the film failed to evoke any big response from the audiences. Moreover, many scenes were beyond logic. Especially, a wayward youth gathering money for his sister's marriage, especially from his friends, who were also nincompoops is above logic. At a time, when he has no money in hand, how the hero was able to fly abroad was also shown on the screen in a simple manner of his friend helping him.

TeluguOne Perspective :

Interestingly Telugu cinema has seen such storyline in the early 1980s itself. Madhuravan has taken one such and treated it with a swift screenplay. Larencce carries the entire burden in his shoulders and deliver his best. He dances, romances and does comedy with style. Sneha surprises everyone oozing glamour. Known for playing homely roles, she has decided to go for a skin show. It's a typical Namitha in ‘Pardhu’ who appears in skimpy costumes for a couple of songs and disappears. Nazar and Saranya impress in their roles. Ganja Karuppu, Sriman and Illavarasu are adequate. Srikanth Deva's songs are loud and the remix Masimasam Alanna....is picturised in a glamorous way on Sneha and Larencce. All said, ‘Pardhu’ is a masala entertainer that keeps the audience engaged.
