However, Kantha Rao falls in love with Ratnam (kamna) and both of them get intimate as well. Now, he has to resolve the problems of his sisters and also ensure that he marries Ratnam quickly. On the other hand, his boss SI Kanakaratnam (jeeva) develops a grudge on Kantha Rao. How does he resolve all this forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with a formula storyline but then it was his presentation and narrative that was engaging. The dialogues were well written, the script was alright and the screenplay was fast paced. Background score was helpful and two songs were good. Cinematography did its bit as required. Editing was crisp. Costumes were neat and the art department was appealing. Allari Naresh gave his usual best and carried the film on his shoulders well. Kamna looks gripping hot and she has added another extra ounce of oomph and sex appeal. Kota was nice. Dharmavarapu was a showstealer. Jeeva was good. Ahuti Prasad was apt. Krishna Bhagawan was witty, Ali came and went, Venu Madhav made his presence felt, Kondavalasa was usual, Chalapathi Rao was mature, Raghu Babu was regular. The others did their bit as required and added value to the film.

Conclusion:
Films that come from the house of EVV usually carry a lot of satirical humor and entertainment sans logic or any common sense approach. These are films which must be enjoyed without any brainwork. While the first half was entertaining and brought few smiles, the second half slows down but it picks up during the climax. At the box office, this will click in the B and C centers while the family audience will also like it.
