But Dr Anand’s aunt (Telangana Shakuntala), a hardcore murderer of two, takes promise from her brother (Chalapathi Rao) many years ago that he gets his son (Dr Anand) married to her daughter, Priya (Mallika Kapoor), and goes to jail. So, Anand denies the marriage proposal with Swaty. But still everyone convinces Anand and makes arrangements for his marriage with Swaty.

Rest of the story is as expected by everyone. How Veerababu loves and marries Priya and how Dr Anand marries Swaty.
Performances:
Allari Naresh did at his best in his trade mark style. Although Venu’s comedy appears to be artificial, he managed to carry the role given to him. Parvati Melton and Mallika Kapoor are good at glamour and they a have a couple of scenes for each to prove their histrionics.
Telangana Shakuntala played the rough role that spills laughs on screen. Duvvasi Mohan-Raghu Babu combination scenes are impressive for masses.
Songs are not good. There is no situation for the first song. It rolls on screen abruptly.
On a whole the comedy would have worked better. Marudhuri Raja’s dialogues are good. Muppalaneni Shiva’s treatment is ok, keeping the logics behind. Basheed’s production values are felt well on screen.
Analysis:
It’s a routine theme tried to narrate with new coat. The comedy that worked out in the film is insufficient and there is lot of scope to spill laughs in second half. Indeed, first half is good. But seriousness dominated the last 20 minutes of the film.
After watching the second half, it appears that the film would have treated in still lighter fashion. Although a few laughs spilled in the theatres, it has no appeal to get repeated audience. Since there are no full length comedy films in theaters, it may enjoy some mileage that way. To say in crisp, the first half of the film runs better than the second half. Dialogues by Marudhuri Raja worked well.
The patronage of masses and families decides the fate of this film.
