As Balaji fails in all his ventures, his money lenders are after his blood. Balaji, the man in disguise, chooses the convenient way of forgoing problems, i.e. he commits suicide by jumping into sea.

Sujatha makes herself a widow (though she is not married to Balaji) and starts staying along with the parents of Balaji.Ramana(Sudhakar), a fisherman, traps the body of Balaji and saves him. Penchalyya (Brahmanandam) is the owner of the boat, who owes huge amount of money to Balwinder Singh (Satyanarayana).

Analysis :

Naveen did an excellent job. His role does not have dialogues for the half of the film and in the remaining half the heroines would not let him speak. Naveen looks very handsome.Kodi knows how to extract the action from Maheswari. She acted extremely well. As she is playing the role of dumb girl, she needs to do lot of emoting. Kodi made sure that only positive aspects of maheswari are projected over the screen( ala krishna vamsi for gulabi). She looks very sensible and beautiful.Laya is on the way to conquer the hearts of telugu viewer from movie to movie. She did an excellent job and looks very cute with 'rendu jadalu'. Sishwa did a very good supporting role for Maheswari. She is an alter ego to Maheswari in this film. She did exceedingly well with in her limitations. Vinod Kumar looks like a real angry surd in this film. He did a cameo role in this film.Satyanarayana fits the bill of sardarji well. A few surd jokes are shown using him.Brahmanandam is in his elements. Without his sensible humor first half of this film would have gone for a toss. Brahmanandam shows a different dimension to his humor in the laugh rioting scenes of this film.

TeluguOne Perspective :

S Gopal Reddy has taken a risk of selecting a story in which heroine is totally dumb and Hero pretends to be dumb. And this film comes at the time when another film with hero in a dumb role 'Seenu' is released. But the director made sure that nativity is not missing. More over hilarious comedy by Brahmanandam makes us laugh uncontrollably. First half is in lighter vein and second half is very gripping. Climax is the heart and soul of the film. Wait a few weeks and you will know the fate of this clean sensible film.
