At
a
time
when
the
entire
Telugu
Cinema
was
after
films
with
commercial
and
love
in
its
backdrop,
producer
Yarramilli
Venkata
Rao
came
forward
to
bring
out
a
film
with
a
very
good
message.
Jonnavithula
Ramalingeshwara
Rao,
who
was
a
writer
by
profession,
turned
director
with
this
movie.
He
chose
a
very
good
script
on
personality
development.
The
story
envisages
how
the
circumstances
make
a
lazy
boy
to
become
very
efficient
and
useful
man.
Though
the
storyline
is
very
impressive,
the
director,
being
a
novice,
lost
grip
on
the
screenplay
and
could
not
move
the
story
in
a
proper
way.
But
to
certain
extent,
he
succeeded
in
driving
his
point
home
and
impressed
the
audiences.
Sombabu
(Ali)
is
a
very
lazy
boy.
He
is
least
bothered
about
himself
and
his
parents
as
he
is
very
lazy.
He
is
so
slothful
that
he
does
not
want
to
bend
down
to
pick
up
even
if
there
is
something
valuable.
However,
Sombabu
is
intelligent
but
does
not
complete
his
graduation.
Everybody
in
the
village
try
to
keep
them
away.
He
and
his
friends
move
like
vagabonds.
Once
he
comes
across
a
girl
called
Rohini
(Ruksha)
and
loses
his
heart.
Rohini
is
the
daughter
of
a
realtor
(Dharmavarapu
Subrahmanyam)
and
comes
to
Srikakulam
in
Krishna
district
and
also
the
nearby
Movva,
a
famous
temple
town
and
the
origin
of
Kuchipudi
dance,
for
some
research.
Some
landlords
(Jayaprakash
Reddy
and
Jeeva)
in
the
village,
who
are
crooked
in
nature,
grab
the
property
of
Sombabu.
Still,
he
holds
some
more
property,
and
the
landlords
eye
that
property
as
well.
In
order
to
grab
his
land,
they
join
hands
with
a
writer
(Tanikella
Bharani)
and
hatch
a
plan.
As
per
the
plan,
the
duo
steals
the
idols
in
the
temple
and
implicates
Sombabu
and
his
friends
in
the
theft
case.
Police
arrest
Sombabu
and
start
interrogation.
When
the
SP
(Benarjee)
questions
him,
Sombabu
tells
him
that
he
can
draw
the
picture
of
a
foreigner,
who
has
moved
under
suspicious
circumstances.
Learning
that,
he
is
an
artist
and
good
at
heart,
the
SP
helps
him
to
bail
out
of
the
case.
Meanwhile,
Sombabu
proposes
to
Rohini,
but
the
latter
refuses
him
saying
that
she
knows
that
he
is
a
lazy
fellow
and
is
fit
for
nothing.
After
court
acquiting
him
he
returns
from
jail
and
decides
to
work
hard
as
his
laziness
costs
him
his
love.
He
helps
his
friend
(Sivareddy)
in
meeting
the
target
to
sell
condoms.
At
that
time,
he
saves
the
realtor
and
in
return
gets
a
job
in
his
office.
There
he
proves
himself.
Once
he
goes
to
Dubai
along
with
Rohini
and
his
father
and
finds
his
friends
there
who
are
facing
troubles.
He
also
learns
that
several
youth
from
India
are
struggling
for
survival
with
no
hope
to
return.
At
an
opportune
time,
Sombabu
makes
the
Indians
realise
the
problems
of
those
youth
and
helps
them
return
to
India.
After
his
return,
Sombabu
and
his
friends
prove
their
innocence
by
catching
the
writer
and
through
him
get
the
original
caught
by
the
culprits.
The
film
ends
on
a
happy
note
with
the
union
of
Sombabu
and
Rohini.
PLUS:
The
storyline
chosen
by
the
director
is
very
good.
The
producer
needed
to
be
complimented
as
the
subject
had
the
qualities
of
a
good
message
with
a
love
story
running
as
an
undercurrent.
Writer
turned
director
Jonnavithula
chose
a
right
artist
like
Ali,
who
has
not
a
very
high
image
and
at
the
same
time
has
some
familiarity
with
all
classes
of
audiences.
It
is
like
a
tailor-made
story
for
Ali
and
he
has
performed
with
good
ease
and
fitted
into
the
mould
exactly.
Especially,
the
change
of
attires
too
evoke
good
comedy.
Another
character
that
touches
the
hearts
of
audiences
is
of
Paruchuri
Gopalakrishna.
His
satirical
dialogues
on
present
political
leaders
and
political
system
not
only
evokes
laughter
but
also
makes
the
audiences
think
about
it.
MINUS:
Heroine
Ruksha
is
a
major
draw
back
for
the
movie.
Though
her
role
is
very
important
as
the
hero
changes
his
attitude
only
to
win
her
love,
she
has
failed
to
perform
in
any
ways.
Though
looks
glamorous,
she
has
failed
to
match
the
hero.
The
poor
and
not
so
gripping
screenplay
is
another
minus
for
the
movie.
The
director
has
failed
to
run
the
story
with
a
particular
pace
and
lost
grip
on
the
subject
several
times.
There
is
no
need
for
an
industrialist
to
take
an
attender
to
Dubai
with
him
and
he
has
failed
to
give
a
justified
reason.
Likewise,
the
acquittal
of
the
hero
from
jail
is
also
not
properly
established.
How
the
friends
of
the
hero
left
for
Dubai
is
also
not
known.
REMARKS:
Two
songs
in
the
film
are
scripted
on
social
cause.
One
is
on
use
of
condoms
and
the
other
on
the
plight
of
youth
in
Dubai.
Popular
singer
Mano
turned
music
director
with
this
film
and
the
songs
are
tuned
in
routine
style.
The
director
tried
to
justify
the
point
which
he
chose
to
highlight.
But
the
slow
pace
of
movement
of
the
story
and
cinematic
turn
of
events
may
not
go
well
with
all
classes
of
audiences.
The
film
is
good
to
watch
for
all
those
who
like
comedy
movies.
