Most Eligible Bachelor is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Bhaskar and produced by Bunny Vas and Vasu Varma on GA2 Pictures.

It stars Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde with music composed by Gopi Sundar, cinematography by Pradeesh Varma and editing by Marthand K. Venkatesh.

The film opened to positive reviews with critics praising casts performances (particularly Hegde), story and music.

Harsha opens the envelope to see that it is Vibha (Pooja Hegde) but he still goes to her father and gives back the details.

Harsha, wanting answers, goes to Vibha and admits to liking her but she says she rejected him over twenty days ago as his mentality about marriage is not the same as hers.

After attending Ganesh's 25th wedding anniversary and talking with his brother-in-law, he discovers that their marriage is toxic and that he shouldn't compromise at all.

[4] Akkineni's role was Harsha, an NRI (non-resident Indian) while Pooja Hegde featured as a stand-up comedian named Vibha.

[28] The music was composed by Gopi Sundar, who earlier collaborated with Bhaskar for the 2016 Tamil film Bangalore Naatkal.

Most Eligible Bachelor's release was scheduled for 2 April 2020, during Sri Rama Navami,[33] but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[43][44] The film opened to positive reviews with critics praising casts performances (particularly Pooja Hegde and Akhil Akkineni), story, and music.

[47] Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and cited it as "a breezy rom-com that lacks emotional depth".

She further added that "Most Eligible Bachelor remains the story of a man who thinks he has it all to make a good husband and a woman giving him a reality check.".

[48] A critic of Sify too cited the same and rated it 2.75 out of 5, writing " Most Eligible Bachelor looks patchy, and goes all directions but Gopi Sundar's lilting songs and feel-good romantic moments save it".

[49] Firstpost also gave a rating of 3 out of 5, praising Bhaskar's work but giving mixed response to the story and screenplay.

[50] In their review, The Hans India wrote that "Most Eligible Bachelor has a thin storyline but it has got a lot of scopes to explore.

[51] The News Minute's Balakrishna Ganeshan cited that "the film makes progressive take on arranged marriage with a few misses", giving a rating of 3 out of 5.

[52] Writing for Cinema Express, Ram Venkat Srikar wrote that the romance is boring and the comedy is forgettable.

He further wrote: "Most Eligible Bachelor holds its intentions in high regard and in the process, ends up being a tiring watch".

[53] The Hindu's Sangeetha Devi Dundoo felt that "Most Eligible Bachelor has technical finesse, a pleasing lead pair, offers a few laughs and hummable songs, but doesn’t sweep you off your feet.

"[54] J Jagannath of Business Standard opined that the director seems to have set out to write an Alice Munro-like story only to end up with something straight out of the slushpile every production house in this country is bombarded with, adding that "The movie has the soul and ambience of a fitting room at Zara.

Apart from Akhil, Pradeesh Varma’s eye-pleasing cinematography and Gopi Sundar’s peppy soundtrack are the movie’s redeeming factors".
