Vennela One And Half is a 2012 Telugu romantic comedy film directed by Vennela Kishore, who also plays a lead role in the movie. Other lead cast members are Chaitanya Krishna and Monal Gajjar. This film marks Vennela Kishore's debut as a director, and it was produced by Vasu and Varma. The movie revolves around two college friends, Mahesh (played by Chaitanya Krishna) and Ravi (played by Vennela Kishore), who end up losing the love of their lives - Swetha (played by Monal Gajjar) and Harika, respectively - due to their inability to express their love. Soon after, Mahesh and Ravi bump into each other at a coffee shop and decide to attend a five-day personality development program, hoping to get their lives back. The rest of the movie follows the duo as they navigate through this program, trying to become better versions of themselves.

The film starts with Mahesh and Ravi's mutual friend congratulating Mahesh on his upcoming engagement to Swetha. Ravi is devastated when he learns this, as he had been in love with Harika for years, but never had the courage to express his feelings. On the day of Mahesh and Swetha's engagement, Ravi decides to reveal his feelings to Harika, but it doesn't go as planned. Hence, both Mahesh and Ravi end up losing their respective love interests.

Days later, Mahesh and Ravi meet at a coffee shop, and Mahesh comes up with the idea of attending a personality development program to become more confident and successful in their personal and professional lives. They both register for the program named 'Vennela One And Half', which claims to make their lives "better in one and a half hours."

The program takes place at a resort where they're introduced to the coach (played by Brahmanandam), a motivational speaker who apparently has a history of transforming people's lives. Over the course of five days, they go through gruelling activities that test their physical and emotional strength. They also meet two women, Swarna and Priya, who help them with the activities and coach them through their problems. Through these activities, both Mahesh and Ravi learn more about themselves, their insecurities and how to overcome them.

The movie has its own share of hilarious situations, mostly thanks to Vennela Kishore's comic timing. The scenes where Vennela Kishore tries to woo his love interest Harika are hilarious and the conversations between Mahesh and Swetha are sweet and endearing. The supporting cast including Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, and others have done justice to their roles.

The soundtrack by Sunil Kashyap is refreshing and complements the storyline well. The cinematography by Sai Sriram is decent and captures the beauty of the resort and its surroundings.

The director Vennela Kishore's performance as Ravi is one of the highlights of the movie. He has played the character with ease and his comic timing is impeccable. Chaitanya Krishna as Mahesh has done a decent job, and his chemistry with Monal Gajjar is sweet and heartwarming. Monal Gajjar as Swetha is adorable and shines in her role.

Overall, Vennela One And Half is a feel-good movie that delivers on its promise of providing the audience with a wholesome and entertaining experience. The movie has its heart in the right place, and the actors have done a great job of portraying their characters. It's a great watch for those who love romantic comedies and want to spend a relaxing evening watching a feel-good flick.
