Kanthamma (Telangana Sakuntala) is the grandmother of Swapna (Rekha) and Sundari (Revathy). Swapna and Sundari study in Hyderabad - away from their hometown Amalapuram - by staying in hostels. Swapna and Sundari fall in love with Aditya (Aditya Om) and Vijay (Vijaya Sai) respectively. Kantamma comes to know about it and grounds them in her house at Amalapuram. Aditya and Vijay reach Amalapuram in search of their girls. When they reach Amalapuram, these girls leave to Vizag to attend a marriage. As the situation had it, Aditya joins the rented part of house of Kanthamma as the husband who is waiting for his wife to join him. He tells her that his wife Kaveri has gone to her parents' house in Vizag. Due to certain circumstances, Aditya is forced to join Kantamma to attend the marriage at Vizag. That's where he sees Swapna. He gets excited and hugs her in front of Kanthamma (he is not aware that Swapna is the granddaughter of Kanthamma). When Kanthamma gets angry, he covers it up by lying that his wife Kaveri is a look-alike of Swapna. Kanthamma asks Aditya to get Kaveri and introducer her. How would Aditya manage the situation? Why do Kanthamma hate love marriages? How Swapna manages to act like Kaveri as well? To know the answers to these questions, you must watch this film.
Analysis :
Unlike most of the other movies, in this movie, you'd actually find yourself laughing at the comedy. That's until you discover that you've gone into the wrong theater. Once you get into the correct one, Preminchukunnam… will captivate you endlessly. Actually, the theater management will. They don't want to lose the only customer they've had in days. Aditya (Aditya Om) is romancing Swapna (Rekha) while his best friend is romancing Swapna's sister. Seeing them coochicooing unabashedly, the world jinxes them with some bad luck. So they sing songs that sound like they're trying to drive away homicidal bad-luck souls.Anyway, in this whole chaos, he commits to the angry grandmother that his wife (remember he had said that he was married?) looks exactly like Swapna. Thus starts the double-role of the heroine, who isn't even good enough to play half-a-role. In fact, she isn't good enough to play a casserole. Tee hee hee! With that much humor and a bit more in the form of Bramhanandam playing a dead body (for the second time, first being Bavagaru Bagunnara), the movie dwindles on till the climax. Here, a character who we thought was another comedian, turns out to be someone very important (suspense). That makes us laugh much more than all the cracks in the movie.
TeluguOne Perspective :
The plot is completely moronic - a perfect setup for some creepy comedy. But we never wished the cast also to be that way. What is missing from this work of Relangi Narasimha Rao is the execution. His earlier works had comedy kings like Rajendra Prasad and Naresh in the lead. The leads in this one are no comparison at all. Shakuntalamma as the grandmother is half-decent; She looks subdued than her normal self. In all, this one can be ignored. But that can be difficult when you're the only one in the hall with nothing but the movie to keep you company.
