Why Watch This
Ugly Story offers a witty, low‑budget look at how social media fame collides with traditional family expectations in a small Telugu town. The film’s sharp dialogue and the electric chemistry between Nandu and Avika Gor make the everyday drama feel surprisingly fresh.

The CinePearl Take
Pranava Swaroop’s debut balances humor with a poignant critique of the digital age, though the pacing wavers in the second act. Avika Gor delivers a standout performance, grounding the film’s absurd moments with genuine vulnerability. Nandu’s earnest, slightly awkward portrayal of an aspiring filmmaker serves as the emotional anchor, while the supporting cast adds texture without stealing the spotlight.
