"Pekamedalu" follows Lakshman (Vinod Kishan) and Varalaxmi (Anoosha Krishna), a couple from the slums of Hyderabad. Lakshman dreams of becoming a millionaire real estate broker, while Varalaxmi juggles part-time work, aspiring to start her own business and secure a good education for their son. The film explores their struggles with financial and relationship crises.

Review: "Pekamedalu" authentically depicts the middle-class mindset, focusing on a woman's resilience in her marriage. It highlights her fight for dreams, maternal love, and quest for freedom from an abusive relationship. Vinod Kishan and Anoosha Krishna, making their Tollywood debuts, deliver standout performances, especially Anoosha, whose character becomes central as Lakshman falters in the second half.

The supporting cast, including Retika Srinivas and Muralidhar Goud, adds depth to the film. While the character-driven storytelling and genuine emotions are strong, the film occasionally lags and doesn’t fully capture the traumatic impact on the couple's son. Director Nilgri Mamilla excels in portraying real-life struggles, supported by effective cinematography and evocative music by Smaran Sai.

Overall, "Pekamedalu" is a compelling film with a powerful message about women's empowerment and freedom, offering a satisfying ending for viewers.
