In Happy Days, every romantic breakup was a catastrophe, every makeup was a triumph, every minute loss became a tragedy because that’s how the film looked through the lens of raw adolescent emotions. Here, Ankit,Pallavi and Friends appears to be a sequel of Happy Days, about a group of friends who pass out of college and are pursuing their dreams. Their relationship is explored as the film deepens, develops and burrows into their lives.
Nikhil from Happy Days plays the hero Ankit, who composes music and hopes to cut his album some day. He falls in love with Pallavi (Megha Burman) who has her priorities very clearly chalked out in life. The first one hour of the film introduces the characters and the film drags and one is kept waiting to know what the film is all about. It is only post interval you get to understand that the story is about clash of opinions and how the lead pair splits and how they unite towards the end.
There are lot of movies that are fun even if they aren’t fantastic films, director Hari Yelleti ‘s script is clichéd, juvenile and doesn’t progress over the storyline. The audience don’t react to the ups and downs of the characters as they are not well presented. It is a hyperactive role for Nikhil and the role doesn’t suit him. Megha Burman is a clear misfit and the only saving grace is Venu who evokes a few laughs. A couple of numbers are melodious, and technically there isn’t much to drive home about. Targeted at the youth, the film has much to be desired, and could be unpalatable for the regular movie ticket buyers who are wanting to see something fresh and interesting.

The debut director Hari Yeleti needs some more training and he should have waited and learnt the craft of film-making and then venture into making a movie.
Cinematography by Malini Dasari is bad.
Music is less than average.

They must have put their dreams ,dollars , sweat and blood into the movie.
At least they showed some guts in following their guts.
