After
bringing
out
two
successful
films
like
Yevadigola
Vadidi
and
Style,
Lagadapati
Sridhar
chose
a
typical
story,
with
love,
action
and
faction
backdrop
to
achieve
a
hattrick.
His
next
film
is
Viyyalavari
Kayyalu.
Though
he
was
very
careful
in
selecting
the
star
cast
for
the
story
prepared
by
his
film
unit,
he
committed
a
major
mistake
in
choosing
a
right
director.
Sattibabu,
who
proved
himself
as
a
good
director
of
comedy
films,
failed
to
run
the
film
with
action
backdrop
coupled
with
love.
But
for
the
slack
movement,
poor
screenplay
and
absurd
direction
without
adequate
links,
the
film
is
good
to
watch
because
of
the
performance
of
Srihari
and
a
couple
of
action
scenes.
Bhupati
Rayudu
(Srihari)
is
a
big
faction
leader
in
Kolimiguntla
in
Rayalaseema
region.
His
word
is
a
statute
for
about
16
villages
around
that
area.
Vengala
Rayudu
(Jayaprakash
Reddy)
is
his
rival
leader.
Bhupati
has
a
sister
called
Nandini
(Neha
Jhulka),
who
is
studying
in
the
city.
Vamsi
(Udaykiran)
is
the
son
of
Pantam
Padmanabham
(Sayaji
Shinde)
an
honest
judge,
who
resigns
to
his
job
to
prevent
succumbing
to
political
pressure.
Vamsi
has
a
sister
called
Swathi.
Once
Vamsi
saves
Nandini
from
goons,
who
try
to
tease
her
and
she
loses
her
heart
instantly.
She
reveals
her
love
to
Vamsi
without
any
hesitation.
But
Vamsi
tries
to
teach
her
a
lesson
by
making
arrangements
for
marriage.
However,
Nandini
refuses
it
saying
that
she
wants
to
get
married
with
the
blessings
of
elders.
So
Vamsy
goes
to
Kolimiguntla
to
win
the
confidence
of
Bhupati.
However,
the
latter
refuses
their
love.
After
a
dramatic
turn
of
events,
Bhupati
agrees
to
their
marriage.
Now,
it
was
the
turn
of
Vamsi,
Bhupati
and
Nandini
to
convince
Vamsi's
father
Pantam
Padmanabham
(Sayaji
Shinde)
for
their
marriage.
Padmanabham
is
a
principled
man,
who
has
resigned
to
the
judge
post
to
avoid
succumbing
to
political
pressures
and
to
live
honestly.
He
wants
to
get
a
girl,
who
comes
from
a
good
family.
He
refuses
to
accept
Nandini
as
his
daughter-in-law,
because
Bhupati
is
a
faction
leader
and
reportedly
killed
several
of
his
rivals.
At
this
juncture,
Padmanabham's
daughter
and
Vamsi's
sister
Swathi
gets
kidnapped
by
one
of
the
criminals,
whom
Padmanabham
sentenced
to
jail
for
five
years.
Bhupati
saves
Swati
and
brings
her
back
home.
This
helps
Bhupati
to
win
the
hearts
of
all
the
family
members
except
Padmanabham.
However,
Padmanabham
agrees
for
alliance
on
a
condition
that
Bhupati
should
win
by-elections
without
bloodshed.
However,
on
nomination
day
itself,
there
is
a
lot
of
bloodshed
and
in
order
to
save
the
lives
of
people,
Bhupati
teaches
rivals
a
lesson.
At
the
same
time,
he
goes
straight
to
Vengala
Rayudu,
saying
that
he
was
withdrawing
from
contest
as
the
bloodshed
has
become
necessary
because
of
rivalry.
Padmanabham
comes
to
know
the
big
heart
of
Bhupati
and
the
film
ends
on
a
happy
note.
PLUS:
major
plus
point
of
the
film
is
the
performance
of
Srihari.
He
really
lived
in
the
character.
It
was
Srihari,
who
took
the
complete
responsibility
of
keeping
the
film
on
hit
track.
The
action
episodes
could
also
be
said
as
a
highlight
of
the
movie.
Though
the
film
is
said
to
be
the
launch
pad
for
re-entry
of
Udaykiran
to
start
his
second
innings,
he
had
not
much
role
to
play.
Neha
Jhulka
is
also
okay
in
parts.
Others
did
justice
to
their
roles.
MINUS:
The
one
and
only
minus
point
is
the
slackness
in
the
run
of
the
story.
The
director
failed
to
run
the
story
in
an
effective
manner
as
many
scenes
had
lost
links
to
earlier
scenes.
However,
it
is
Marthand
K
Venkatesh,
who
edited
the
copy
tried
to
do
justice
to
a
major
extent
and
one
had
to
thank
him
at
least
for
giving
a
shape
to
the
film.
Director
Sattibabu
has
a
good
grip
over
the
comedy
but
he
could
not
effectively
run
the
action
drama.
REMARKS:
The
first
half
of
the
film
was
totally
devoted
to
the
love
track
and
the
director
failed
to
establish
how
a
girl
could
fall
in
love
with
a
boy
whom
she
doesn't
know.
Moreover,
the
film
appeared
to
be
a
direct
attack
on
the
Mega
Star's
family
problem,
though
it
is
really
unintentional.
Some
of
the
dialogues
in
the
film
hints
at
Srija's
elope
with
Sirish,
though
it
was
a
mere
coincidence.
Ramana
Gogula's
music
is
good
to
listen
to
certain
extent
but
their
choreography
is
absolutely
poor.
Moreover,
the
re-recording
is
also
not
apt.
But
for
the
action
scenes
and
Srihari's
performance,
there
is
nothing
much
to
talk
about
the
film.
