Of all the roads I travelled, the road back to home was the best. This is not just a film, this film defines our entire family life. A heartwarming story about relationships with a positive touch. This is the story of your #home, my #home, OUR #HOME. Each and Every character and vibe mana real life lo una people tho resemble chestayi. Ala andari intlo jarige konni relatable moments chudham..
- Pedhodu amma kuchi, Chinnodu nanna kuchi:
- Grandparents:
Ippudu entha mandhi intlo pedha vaallu untunaro ledho telidhu kaani. But yeah, Grandparents una vaallu, valaki edhoka problem undadam, vaalani maname chusukodam, age perige kodhi chadastam peruguthundi ani aravadam, malli velli kaburlu cheppadam antha real life lo lane untudi.
In Fact indhulo thatha ki memory loss untundi. But ayana random ga cheppe koni dialogues chala impact untayi. “I’m tired, I have walked a long way, Don’t be afraid” lanti maatalu vintunapudu anipisthundi migatha vaallakante ayanake ekkuva memories gurthunnai ani.

Technology/Social media:
Tinetappudu kuda phone endhuku ra, inthamandhi kalisi unapudu phone chustav entra, phone thappa inko dhyase ledhu, phone ki addict ayipoyav ilanti matalu mana rojulo okkasaraina vintam.
Suppose we are about to start a job. We hear a notification sound and think we'll check it for a second. We never realise this one second is going into minutes, hours and days.
Nijamgane phone usage valla stress, anxiety, peace lanti kotha padhalu vinalsi vasthundi. Breaking news nundi pakkanodi life lo edo jarigipothundi ane comparisions varaku sagam phone valle. Use cheyyali entha varako antha varaku.
- Oliver cuteness:
Oliver papam wait chesi chesi valla koduku elago gift cheyadu ani kotha phone konukuntadu. Intlo vallu ela vadalo nerpinchatledhu ani badhapadathadu. Kaani psychiatrist daggara una assistant cheppaka vaalla kodukulu idhariki voice message send cheyadam, google pay cheyadam, online orders anni bhale cute ga chestaru. Aaaaat Oliver anthe!!
Manam use chesina phone oo or mana salary thono chinna gift ga parents ki phone konivadamo chestham. Mana parents ki smart phone vachina kothalo adenti, identi, enti oka click nokkagane USA lo unna mana relatives tho matladocha, photos pampocha lanti doubt lu adugutaru.

Father-son relationship:
Manam edo sadhinchesinattu.. Nuvvem chesav nanna asalu life lo. Nekantu memories, stories, achievements unnaya ani question vese antha baga edhigam anamata manam. First of all valledho achieve cheyaleke manaki elanti kashtam rakudadhu ani chuskuntaru. Sare tell me this 50-60 years lo vaallu unte, what else do you expect from parents?
Amma ayina mana mundhu edavagaledhemo kaani.. Nanna asalu edavaleru. Age ekkuva ayekodhi chinna chinna matalake deep ga hurt avutaru. Oliver valla koduku “Pappa your biography won’t be half the size”. Maha ayithe “I used to run a shop, I had to close it down, because I couldn't change with the times, I sit idle these days looking after my garden..what more can you write” ani antunte anthakante heart break inkoti untunda?

Attachment between Kutty Amma and Charles:
Ekkada tinnavi akade petti tittlu tinadam, Mana gurinchi manolla daggara comedy cheyadam, manalni byata vaallu oka maata kuda ananikunda undadam, Edo peeke important vishayam cheppali ani pilichi fan katteyava ani anadam, shopping ki velte unna colours ye eni sarlu tesukuntav ani anadam..ivani chala realistic ga anipisthayi. Just like daily amma tho jarige moments. Kopamga unapudu “Enna darling” anagane okka scream chesthundi debbaki paripodame. Such scenes literally make us laugh out loud, as we felt it’s our mom who’s scolding us.
Here comes my favorite scene. Amma tho oka godava ayyaka malli kalisi, chusi, matladam is next level precious thing abba. Konchem ego, boledu prema enough for life anthe.

Mental Health:
It’s not the mad who consult a Psychologist. Oka exercise, walk elano idi alane. Intlo unna vaallu respect or prema ivakapovadam, mana anukuna vaallu manaki importance ivakapovadam ila chala reasons valla low feel avutham.
Yaar podhuna lechina daggara nundi intlo vallatho chiraku padatham. Oka office friend oo, inko friend oo call cheste phone lo navvuthu matladatham. Edhi emaina manam kuda tarvata ee phase face cheyalsindhe. So be happy, first make a conversation, chinnapati memories adagandi , intha busy life lo meru kuda stress relief avutaru. Just try to be a shoulder for those in need.
- Oliver Twist and Kutty Amma:
“Why can’t we scold you? Can’t we? The man there is your father. Keep that in mind”.
Appatidhaka pillalu vaalla father ni em anna sare silent untundi. Byata family daggara kuda insult chesthunte gattiga lechi arusthundi. Mana intlo kuda okanoka moment lo entra nanna medha noru lesthundi antundi amma. Manam madyalo vacham.. Manakante mundhu valla prema adhi gurthupetukondi.
- Little things:
Whatsapp lo kiss smiley pedithene ammo na koduku naku inni rojulaki mudhu pettada ani feel ayye nanna. Ne car/bike ayana clean cheyyadam, naa koduku idhi adhi ani goppalu chepukodam. Vinadaniki manaki chinnave kaani vaallaki ave lokam. Ah little things ni unnotice cheyakunda make it a moment.

I'm always Imperfect at my home
Amma ki escalator ante bhayam, nanna ki inka patha kalam manishe, annaya ekkada leni busy person, tammudu untene intlo sarada. Andarilo nu evo oka imperfections untayi.. Ela unna, home is the only place where we can get away from judgements and ego.
It's okay nanna ki smart phone use cheyydam teliyakapothe, It's okay amma ki escalator ante bhayam unte.. we are there for every little thing ane bharosa vallaki kaligiste chalu.
Almost everyone has similar problems and happiness. You don't have to suggest a solution all the time, sometimes all it takes is giving your time to listen! Intha busy life lo intha feel good movie chusa ane satisfaction aythe pakka meku untundi.
Kudos to the director Rojin thomas for making this film with such a beautiful cast.
