Last
year,
some
comedy
films
proved
hits.
Taking
a
cue
from
the
successes
and
to
cash
in
on
the
hit
spree,
Palli
Kesava
Rao
and
K
Kishore
launched
a
banner
called
Sriramachandrulu
Films.
They
chose
a
Bollywood's
hilarious
comedy
film
Bagham
Bagh
and
remade
it
as
Brahmanandam
Drama
Company,
with
Brahmanandam,
Sivaji,
Ravikrishna
and
Kamalini
Mukherjee
in
the
lead.
However,
they
faced
many
problems
to
complete
the
film.
Even
after
it's
completion,
they
could
not
get
good
theatres
to
release
their
film
as
many
exhibitors
were
reluctant
to
give
their
theatres
for
small
budget
films.
Somehow,
with
the
help
of
some
buyers
and
distributors
they
succeeded
in
releasing
the
film.
Despite
a
big
talk
by
producers,
who
assured
that
the
film
would
be
a
laughing
riot,
it
proved
to
be
a
big
flop
as
none
of
the
scenes
brought
even
smile
on
the
faces
of
audiences.
Anandam
(Brahmanandam)
brings
up
two
orphans
(Sivaji
and
Ravi
Krishna).
They
turn
heroes
of
the
drama
company
run
by
Anandam.
An
NRI,
who
was
a
womaniser,
impressed
with
the
beauty
of
the
heroine,
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
stage
plays
in
Bangkok.
Once,
Sivaji
and
Ravi
try
to
lure
the
heroine
(Sameeksha)
of
the
drama
company
because
she
is
quite
beautiful.
Irked
over
their
behaviour,
she
quits
the
drama
company
before
they
board
the
flight.
As
their
drama
company
gets
the
abroad
chance
for
the
first
time,
the
troupe
leaves
for
the
Bangkok,
on
the
advice
of
Sivaji
and
Ravi,
that
they
would
search
a
girl
there
as
heroine
at
Bangkok.
So,
they
start
a
hunt
for
a
girl.
In
the
process,
Ravi
comes
across
Arpita
(Kamalini
Mukherjee),
who
pretends
that
she
is
suffering
from
a
mental
disorder
with
suicide
tendency.
Ravi
somehow
manages
to
bring
her
and
shake
legs
with
them
in
the
show.
After
some
time,
again
she
meets
with
an
accident
in
a
bid
to
commit
suicide
and
pretends
that
she
is
the
wife
of
one
Mahendra
(Raghu).
Again
the
entire
drama
troupe
gets
fixed
in
a
murder
case
and
the
police
claim
that
Arpita
committed
suicide
blaming
the
drama
company
staff
responsible
for
the
death.
But
the
trio
(Anandam,
Sivaji
and
Ravi),
somehow
escape
from
the
police.
Later,
they
face
so
many
problems.
Again
they
find
Arpitha
alive.
She
unwinds
the
real
story
and
tells
them
that
her
name
is
Archana
and
she
got
fixed
in
a
trap
by
Mahendra,
who
killed
his
wife.
In
the
climax,
the
police
arrest,
Mahendra
and
the
trio
heave
a
sigh
of
relief.
PLUS:
There
is
absolutely
no
story
in
the
film
and
it
is
just
a
treatment-based
film.
The
director
chose
to
remake
the
film,
exactly
like
the
Bollywood
original.
However,
none
of
the
artistes
could
recreate
a
similar
wonder
on
the
Telugu
screen.
It
was
Brahmanandam,
who
stole
the
limelight
with
his
performance.
A
couple
of
songs
in
the
film
are
good
to
watch.
Honestly,
there
are
no
plus
points
which
could
take
the
film
on
a
hit
path.
MINUS:
None
of
the
heroes
Sivaji
or
Ravi
Krishna
could
deliver
good
performance
and
as
the
title
suggested,
it
is
just
like
a
drama
and
nothing
more.
Ravi
Krishna
has
neither
shown
any
expression
nor
shaken
leg
with
ease
in
dance
sequences.
Kamalini
is
okay
and
a
couple
of
songs
shot
on
her
are
nice
to
watch,
though
not
great.
The
director
failed
to
utilise
the
huge
star
cast.
Especially,
the
galaxy
of
comedians
of
the
Telugu
film
industry,
who
co-starred
in
the
film
could
evoke
laughter.
All
the
scenes
are
cinematic
and
artificial.
Sivajiraja,
who
is
really
a
good
artiste,
also
has
disappointed
the
audiences
with
a
clown
like
character.
Dialogues
by
Ramesh-Gopi
also
lack
any
punch.
REMARKS:
The
audience
who
go
to
the
theatres
with
a
strong
belief
that
the
huge
cast
of
comedians
would
give
them
adequate
entertainment
would
face
a
miserable
disappointment
in
the
absence
of
worthy
comic
scenes.
The
poor
screenplay
scripted
by
the
director
embarrasses
the
audiences.
The
audiences
need
not
feel
bad
for
missing
this
film.
