Story :

Krishna (Naresh) is a pampered son from a rich family who takes life as it comes. He comes across Satya (Poorna) and it is love at first sight for him. However, Satya hates rich people as she feels they don’t do anything for the poor. Krishna discovers this and pretends to be from a poor family. He also asks his family members (Sayaji, Sudha, Surekha Vani, Ravi and others) to do the same. Satya also falls in love with Krishna and when things look alright, she is taken away by factionists. In comes Nagineedu (Nagineedu) the powerful and fearsome factionist from Seema area. Who is he? What does Satya do when she discovers Krishna’s true identity? All this forms the rest of the story.

Artist performances :

Allari Naresh has given an expected performance and there are places where he shows his flashes of brilliance. Poorna looks alright but she has a strong sex appeal which is revealed in the songs. Sayaji Shinde was funny, Nagineedu was classy, Ravu Ramesh was not used to his potential, Vennela Kishore was okay, Sudha was standard, Brahmanandam was brief, M S Narayana was moderate, L B Sriram was usual, Jayaprakash Reddy was regular. The others did their bit as required and added value to the film.

Plus points :

* Allari Naresh’s comedy and imitating celebrities
* Poorna’s visual feast in songs
* Theme of the film
* Pace

Minus points :

* Not enough comedy quotient
* Predictable and stereotype second half
* Abrupt editing
* Technical flaws

Analysis :

The film is meant for those who believe in two plus hours of time-pass entertainment with not much logic. While the first half fulfils that requirement, the second half gets a bit melodramatic due to sentiments and emotional scenes but then they will strike a chord with the family audience. This may not be upto the level of ‘Blade Babji’ ‘Bendu Apparao’ but then it has enough ingredients to take it to a profit zone at the box office. As such, given Allari Naresh’s crowd pulling factor and the holiday season along with no other release, the film is bound to do well.
