Plot
Three guys who are unhappy in their marriages are the subject of the novel Save The Tigers. The events in the lives of Ganta Ravi (played by Priyadarshi Pulikonda), Vikram (played by Chaitanya Krishna), and Rahul (played by Abhinav Gomatam) are chronicled in this sitcom. The wives of all three guys are their common point of conflict. As they get to know one another at a pub, they understand how many other guys on the planet are victims of "torture at home."
The events in their lives, what these three men do when they are intoxicated, and how they attempt to flee from their issues are turned into the sitcom Save The Tigers.
Performances
Ganta Ravi, played by Priyadarshi Pulikonda, is a milk supplier who operates a dairy farm. He only thinks about his business. They lead a typical middle-class existence, but his wife Hymavathi (played by Jordhar Sujatha) wants to live in a gated community and lead a posh life. She wants her children to solely speak English and go to a posh school. She continues to harass Ravi in order for this to happen. It's funny to witness their ridiculous arguments.
In this series, Priyadarshi is his obnoxious self. He had a really natural performance as a milk vendor. You will think you are watching a milkman you know because of everything, even his accent and body language.
Sujatha seemed like the ideal choice for this role. Her native Telangana accent made her appear appropriate for a middle-class Telangana woman who occasionally teased her husband.
Vikram, played by Chaitanya Krishna works at an ad agency where his boss is insane. At home, his wife Rekha (played by Deviyani Sharma) is a fierce feminist and an activist. Rekha brings reasoning into every argument they have, and Rekha's mother keeps interfering in their marriage, which causes problems for both of them.
The only composed character in this series is Chaitanya. He is the one who never gets angry and is the one who always needs to apologise after a fight. He is so frustrated that, soon after a heated argument, he would choose to ask his wife whether he should drop her off to her mother's house rather than beg her to stay (which is hilarious).His portrayal of a man unable to speak in front of his wife was really amusing. I suppose he can connect with a lot of males.
Deviyani, on the other hand, did a fantastic job as a fictitious feminist. She excelled in her role despite being a lawyer.
Rahul (played by Abhinav Gomatam) must be the series' cherry on top. His sense of humour is admirable. He left his work to pursue a writing career, but he is unable to organise his thoughts. His wife Madhu is a doctor, and Pavani Gangireddy plays her. She finds it upsetting to look at her unemployed husband doing nothing at home but argue every now and then with their maid (played by Rohini). This act in the series generate a lot comedy, FYI.
Since the two are educated, their battles are likewise displayed in the most sophisticated manner possible. Abhinav was at his finest. He and Pavani both gave their roles their all-out effort. When Abhinav appeared on screen, laughter was most readily produced.

Technicalities
Teja Kakumanu directed this six-episode sitcom. The first three episodes of the series move along quickly, but the following three drag a little. Comedy was the medium the director chose to "Mansplain" with. He did his best to make Pradeep Advaitham's story seem natural. Anyone can relate to this story because it focuses on both middle class and upper class members of society. For a sitcom, there isn't much to discuss in terms of cinematography, but the editor is praised. One point that needs to be said is that the cast of the show is a huge plus because they invested a lot of themselves in it.
There are no offensive humour in the show. This is just a simple, lighthearted story about three men and their wives. The only source of conflict is humour; there isn't any other. This is solely intended to provide organic comedy, and the creators were successful in doing so.
Verdict of the Vox
Watch this if you want to giggle aloud for a bit.
