Nandu
(Junior
NTR)
lives
in
a
village
called
Adityapuram
and
Ammulu
(Shruti
Hassan)
is
his
sweetheart
(lover).
In
the
village,
three
crooked
people
-
Home
Minister
Umapati
(Kota
Srinivasa
Rao),
his
son
Bhikshapati
(Ravishankar
of
Arundhati
fame)
and
Nagabhushanam
(Mukhesh
Rushi),
plan
to
grab
a
land
that
was
very
fertile.
They
resort
to
lot
of
bloodshed
and
finally
grab
the
land
and
share
among
themselves.
In that process, Nandu loses Ammulu and his near and dear ones. Later, Nandu shifts to Hyderabad. Being alone, as a college student, he lives a simple and happy life. One day, he comes across Akshara (Samantha), who stays with her grandmother Baby Shalini (Rohini Hattangadi). Nandu makes every effort to grab her attention and gives his heart to her and gets her in reciprocation. Their friendship and love go to such an extent that Nandu had become one of their family members.
Akarsha tells Nandu about her cousin's engagement and also invites him to the marriage. Nandu goes there and hacks almost all the male family members there. Police officer Avinash (Rao Ramesh), who is investigating the case, finds that Nandu is behind those killings. What does he do? What happens to the love affair between Akarsha and Nandu? The rest of the movie answers these questions.

RV Screenplay And Direction
Satish Vegesna, Ramesh Reddy and Thota Prasad have penned the screenplay for Ramayya Vastavayya. They have done a brilliant job in the first half, but the second half appears a little boring. This is due to lesser comedy quotient and more focus on action. Moreover, director Harish looses grip on the story as it takes many twists. Had he maintained a little more comedy in the interludes at least, he would have attracted more audiences.
NTR's Acting
As told by Harish Shankar, Junior NTR is at a very glamorous look and very jovial in the first half. The director has fulfilled his promise that the NTR fans would feel very happy to watch him. He is looking best in the film. He has made no mistake in this aspect.
Samantha's Role
Samantha, who has played Junior NTR's love interest, has no big role to play in the movie, but she entertains the audiences in the first half. Her glamour and chemistry with NTR are among the big strengths of the movie.
Shruti Hassan's Role
Shruti Hassan has played a brief role in Ramayya Vastavayya and she has tried her best to impress the film goers. Her brief chemistry with NTR is also good to watch on screen.
Supporting Cast In RV
Kota Srinivasa Rao, Mukhesh Rushi and Ravi Shankar are at their usual best. Rohini Hattangadi entertains the audiences as Baby Shamili in the first half. Thanikella Bharani and Ajay have very brief roles in the movie. Rao Ramesh is nice to watch in police officer's role.
RV Production values
Ramayya Vastavayya has brilliant technical elements. There is no need for introduction about Chota K Naidu's cinematography. He has made it a fantastic and visual splendour throughout the film whether it is action scene or a comedy or song sequence.
SS Thaman's Music
SS Thaman has given excellent tunes for Ramayya Vastavayya and his background score is also good and lifts many scenes. All the songs are worth watching with NTR's dances. Gautham Raju's editing is equally good, but he should made the movie even more entertaining by trimming certain scenes in the second half.
Dialogues In RV
Coming to the dialogues, though they are good in the entire movie, those penned for NTR's character need a special mention. Many of those dialogues have good punches and with the excellent dialogue modulation by NTR, they are really one of the main highlights of the film.
Final Remarks
Watch Ramayya Vastavayya for NTR in an extraordinary handsome looks and punch dialogues. First half is excellent, while the second half, though we can't say boring, but completely devoted to action. The second half will be entertaining for those audience, who enjoy action scenes. The film is quite appealing to mass audiences and would really ring the Box Office in B, C Centres.
