Mahanubhavudu is a straight, uncomplicated script and looks as if it is just another story that germinated to cash on human flaws and convert it to entertainment. Assuming that no one would be interested if a disorder is discussed in a serious way, the first half has hero Anand (Sharwanand) reducing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) to a joke while the second half tries to elicit sympathy for his character.
