Shankar (R Narayana Murty) is basically a lawyer from a lower-middle class family. He has a broad mind and always supports the working class. Once a representative from an MNC lures a ruling politician and minister that the state can prosper and earn more revenue by setting up Special Economic Zones and by giving permission to excavate the huge mineral resources in the country. The politician agrees to that and orders seizure of assigned lands to excavate minerals. All the lands are being cultivated by poor farmers. Hence Shankar opposes the privatisation of various government companies and also the excavation of minerals by MNCs and their export to other countries.
Analysis :
Like all the other films under Sneha Chitra banner, in this film too, there is absolutely no comedy relief. The film is meant for only the hardcore fans of left subjects and revolutionary films and literature. All the songs scripted by 'Praja Kavulu' are again used in the film. Most of the artists in the film are stage artists and the director cum producer ably utilised their services and almost saved a lot of money towards remuneration if he chose the regular artists. Vandemataram Srinivas has given tunes to all the songs and they are okay and suited the taste and matched the theme of the film. Camera work by M Prasad is normal.
TeluguOne Perspective :
Though the film reflected the mindset of the director cum producer, it appears quite routine. Only hardcore fans of R Narayana Murthy films could watch the movie.
