Story, screenplay and direction - EVV Satyanarayana.
Allari Naresh, instead of going for the heroic act and earning the distinction of gaining a mass hero image, chose a different way to entertain the audiences. Taking a cue from his father EVV Satyanarayana, who had made several comedy films in his career, Naresh too chose to make the audiences smile. Previously, Rajendra Prasad chose this path and succeeded and Naresh has comfortably stepped into his shoes.
Katti Kanta Rao (Allari Naresh) has vast knowledge and he knows how to use it. He has the capacity to convince any person with his words and can do whatever that benefits him. He is basically a police constable and he resorts to corruption by manipulating others. He can make your life miserable with his dialogues, and at the same time, he is still good at heart.
All the acts of Kanta Rao have some meaning behind it. He resorts to corrupt practices as he had to bear the burden of four sisters and parents and he is the only earning member in the family. The two elder sisters, though got married, stay with Kanta Rao, because of their greedy husbands, while the two younger ones await marriage. The film sees Kanta Rao make an agreement with his father that he won't marry until he settles the lives of all his four sisters.
However, he skips the promise and secretly marries a girl called Rajyam (Kamna). As Rajyam's father Ringu Ranga Rao (Kota Srinivasa Rao) comes to know about the marriage, Kanta Rao convinces him and tells him that he would remarry her with the blessings of his elders. Ringu Ranga Rao wants to become the sarpanch of a village and does all kinds of non-sense to appease the voters. As his opponent's (Ahuti Prasad) son (Nalla Srinu) marries a foreigner, Ranga Rao takes advantage and criticises the entire family for his political gain. After a few days, Kanta Rao convinces his parents and sisters and makes arrangements for his younger sisters marriage too and marries Rajyam. However after the first night, Rajyam unintentioanlly reveals that she is pregnant.
With this, the winning chances of Ranga Rao as sarpanch turn bleak, and is faced with the dilemma of finding a solution to this critical situation. And Kanta Rao needs to find the solution.
Allari Naresh's performance is the highlight of the movie. He maintained perfect comedy timing all through the film and he was ably supported by Kamna Jethmalani in the female lead. This talented actress showed her oomph in the song sequences.
The cinematography, by Adusumilli Vijayakumar, was also worthy a mention. He captured the moods of the artistes perfectly with his camera. Saving the best for the end, EVV Satyanarayana should be commended for catching the pulse of audiences as he mesmerised the audiences with his ability to run the movie with no great storyline.
Though Mallikarjun made his debut as music director, he could not dish out foot-tapping tunes. The director lost grip on the screenplay in the second half, and some of the scenes dragged on. He also let down with the characterisation of the heroine by giving her a bland personality.
Watch the film with no expectations and only for sheer entertainment value.
