What is it about : Sai (Sairam Shankar) is a
mechanic from a lower middle class family
whose father works for the unscrupulous real estate
king Suryanarayana (Sayaji Shinde). Like all good
Tollywood heroes, Sai leads a carefree life with
his friends until he bumps into Aishwarya (Bindu Madhavi)
who is the spoilt and arrogant daughter of Suryanarayana.
He promptly flips for her and very soon we have both trying
to outsmart each other by literally beating each other up.
Then suddenly, Aishwarya realizes that she needs to look
beyond bank balances and so falls in love with the poor
mechanic. Now the stage is set for a confrontation between
the rich father and the poor boy where Sai throws
the bumper offer of bringing Suryanarayana down to his
level instead of trying to earn as much as him. So the rest
of the second half is about how Sai uses different tricks to
ruin Suryanarayana’s vast empire and he eventually succeeds.

What is Good: Nothing much to write in this section! Sayaji
Shinde puts in good performance and he is supported by
others like DVS, Chandramohan and Ali. Bindhu Madhavi puts
up a good performance despite her weak characterization of
loud spoilt brat and still manages to get noticed. Out of
the songs, only Ravullamma and Maikam are remembered
despite the mediocre picturisation. There is a good separate
comic sub-plot of Ali and Venu Madhav which is spoof on
Maghadheera reincarnation angle.

What is bad: The biggest culprit here is the script which
has nothing new to offer and moves on quite predictably
using all the clichés available. The other weak link is Sairam
Shankar who despite many sincere efforts doesn’t click as a “hero”
here. He tries emulating Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri character here but
fails miserably as he doesn’t have the style or acting skills available
to him. His idea of dialogue delivery is to scream them out and there
was zero chemistry between him and Bindhu.
Me Thinks: : Give it a miss…. This bumper offer did not have
anything new to offer
Tailpiece: Since the story has been written by Puri, you have the
mandatory beach song, hero’s first solo number with his friends,
fight sequences in by-lanes, smart one liners, aggressive lover boy,
etc and so it seems like a rehash of his different movies!!!
