Th film is about the enmity between the Rudramanaidu family and the Kulapati family. While the former family represents the forces of good and is headed by 'superstar' Krishna in two generations, the latter is headed by the bad characters in the Telugu film industry, Vinod and Kota Srinivasa Rao. The point of contention between the two families is that Kulapati connived with the British to outrage the modesty of a Palanadu woman, to protect whom Rudramanaidu laid down his life. This infamous incident comes down the decades through a tale that is told every year at a temple dedicated to Rudramanaidu, whose statue is installed at the site. And this is indigestible to Chalaati (Kota Srinivasa Rao), the present descendent of Kulapati.He conspires to get the statue removed so that this past will get obliterated. And this starts a war between Krishnamanaidu (Krishna) and Chalapati. The latter chooses to poison the ears of Krishnamanaidu's brother Narendra (Prudhvi), emerges victorious, and is on the brink of achieving his masterplan.
Analysis :
The film is so contrived to the core, and there is so little intelligence involved in its making, there is hardly anything in it to talk about. Krishna looks terribly old and can't even walk properly, forget about putting in a credible performance. And when he sings those romantic songs with the young thing Charulata, it looks utterly laughable. Ravali looks so much like a bloated balloon that she makes you wonder what made Prudhvi fall in love with her - and the whole film and the differences among the brothers revolve around her.
