Rama Krishna, who is running away from the impending police plans to pretend as the grandson of Kotaiah and enters Kotayya-vari-palem. The rest of the story revolves on the point of Rama Krishna duping the village men and then reforming himself into a good human being with the help of Vasantha Lakshmi.
Analysis :
Srikanth played the role with ease. His comedy timing is pretty good. His character has some similarities to the one he did in 'Tappuchesi Pappukoodu'. You can see Laya through Vamsi's eyes in this film. She looks different in this film with sleeveless blouse, sarees and lenses (cat eyes). She tried to get an hourglass figure with that get-up and she partly succeeded in it. Sunita dubbed her voice. Vamsy is always known for typical characterization for his actors. The combination of Krishna Bhagavan and Lakshmana Rao is good and generated nice humor. TV actress Bhuvaneswari acted as one among the thieves in Donga Ramudu's party, who seduces single males and then loots the entire house. Jaya Prakash Reddy did a variety role. Veteran vamp Jyoti Lakshmi did a decent role. Kota did a small cameo and his comedy is good. Suhasini made a special appearance in this film.
TeluguOne Perspective :
First half of the film is average. Second half is little dull. The climax is better. Vamsi - who mastered the art of village comedy with his typical characterization ability - could not succeed in generating the desired result because of the improper screenplay and narration. However, this film could be worth a watch for the songs and comedy between Krishna Bhagawan and Lakshmana Rao.
