Crazy first half, Laddoo being the show stealer, while DD being DD. Laughed throughout the marriage episode. ????????????????
Every cameo worked out very well. Sunil’s part is too good in second half. Music and energy levels haven’t dropped at all.… pic.twitter.com/08WabFlIV2
A surprise cameo by Pawan Kalyan also caught fans’ attention, with several users expressing delight over his brief appearance.
