Story

Raju (Naveen Polishetty) is a young man from a once-prestigious zamindar family in Gauravapuram village of the Godavari district. Although his family was once wealthy, the extravagant lifestyle of his grandfather ruins their finances, leaving the family burdened with heavy debts and constant financial struggles. Determined to secure his future, Raju plans to marry into a rich family so that he can become financially stable. During his search, he sets his sights on Charulatha, the daughter of a wealthy landlord (Rao Ramesh) from a neighboring village, and decides that she is the perfect match for him. To win her love and eventually marry her, Raju launches a carefully planned mission called “Operation Charulatha.”

What financial problems continue to haunt Raju’s zamindar family? What were the reckless acts committed by his grandfather that led to their downfall? What kind of challenge does Raju take up with his aunt (Jhansi) about marrying into a wealthy family? How does Raju carry out “Operation Charulatha”? In what ways does he win Charulatha’s heart, and what clever tricks does he use to impress her? What major shock does Raju face after marrying Charulatha, and how does he recover from it? Why does Raju step into village politics and contest for the post of sarpanch? And how do rural political dynamics change the course of Raju’s life?

The answers to all these questions form the core story of the film Anaganaga Oka Raju.
