Director: Vinod Ananthoju
Rating: 3

The best parts of Middle Class Melodies are the realistic conversations, natural performances by the cast, and of course, relatable characters. Rustic life is showcased nicely too. Writer Janardhan Pasumarthi deserves applause and Vinod as well, for executing it refreshingly.
The filmmaker did not allow the drama to go…
