Nani
is
slowly
but
steadily
building
an
image
for
himself.
After
delivering
decent
hits
like
Ala
Modalaindi
and
Veppam,
the
actor
is
back
with
Pilla
Zamindar.
Let
us
see
what
he
has
offered
the
audience
with
his
film.
Tead
on
for
Pilla
Zamindar
review.
Story:
The
story
is
as
old
as
films.
Rich
zamindar
Nagineedu's
son
marries
a
girl
against
his
wishes.
As
a
result,
he
is
deprived
of
the
property.
However
Nagineedu
realises
his
mistake
after
his
son
and
daughter-in-law
are
killed
in
an
accident.
He
does
not
want
his
grandson
too
to
go
in
his
son's
way.
So,
Nagineedu
frames
a
will,
which
specifically
mentions
that
Nani
will
inherit
the
property
only
after
he
fulfills
certain
conditions.
There
is
a
catch
here.
Nani
being
filthy
rich
is
used
to
a
lavish
lifestyle
without
caring
a
damn
and
he
does
not
even
respect
elders
or
the
lecturers
and
principal
of
the
college.
Nani
now
has
to
not
only
complete
his
degree
course
but
he
must
do
it
in
three
years.
He
should
also
stay
in
the
hostel
and
manage
with
a
very
little
money.
The
college
is
situated
in
a
small
village.
Therefore,
Nani
is
forced
to
change
his
lifestyle.
Will
he
succeed
in
fulfilling
the
conditions
laid
down
by
his
grandfather?
Whether
the
time
spent
in
the
college
brings
about
a
change
in
Nani.
Answers
to
these
questions
form
the
interesting
part
of
the
story.
Performance:
Nani
is
okay
and
he
has
done
a
decent
job
both
as
a
brash
filthy
rich
zamindar
as
well
as
a
student
in
the
college.
Haripriya
is
fairly
good
looking
and
she
has
got
a
lengthy
role.
Bindhu
Madhavi
is
in
the
extended
guest
role.
Nagineedu
is
wasted.
MS
Narayana
gets
to
plays
serious
role.
Rao
Ramesh
is
his
usual
self.
Dr
Sivaaramakrishna
is
okay.
Avasarala
Srinivas
is
not
utilised
properly.
The
rest
go
about
their
roles
as
per
the
demands
of
the
script.
Plus:
Nani
is
the
only
plus
for
the
film.
The
other
plus
is
in
the
form
of
a
village
backdrop
and
a
decent
star
cast.
Other
than
this,
there
is
not
much
going
for
the
film.
A
couple
of
scenes
with
some
sentiment
attached
are
the
only
ones
that
are
good.
Minus:
The
story
is
a
minus.
It
is
a
stale
story
that
one
has
seen
many
times
before.
The
film
does
not
have
too
many
twists.
The
love
interest
and
emotions
too
have
been
handled
in
a
tame
manner.
The
music
and
background
score
are
average.
The
director
has
not
succeeded
in
turning
the
film
into
a
wholesome
entertainer.
Verdict:
Pilla
Zamindar
is
a
routine
film
with
a
routine
story
about
a
rich
zamindar
and
his
wayward
grandson.
It
is
an
average
movie.
