Whenever
the
audiences
think
of
Jagapathi
Babu,
they
expect
two
heroines
and
the
film
would
be
a
good
family
drama.
True
to
their
expectations,
the
director
portrayed
beautiful
family
relations
and
the
changes
in
the
lifestyles
on
the
screen.
Especially,
the
director
has
tried
his
best
to
explain
the
kind
of
environment
that
should
be
for
a
strong
bond
between
wife
and
husband.
Aditya
Ram
Movies
had
earlier
produced
two
films
with
Jagapathi
Babu
like
Sandade
Sandadi
and
Khushi
Khushigaa.
Again,
director
Dasarath
of
Santosham-fame
has
prepared
a
good
story,
in
fact
a
tailor-made
story
for
Jagapati
Babu,
with
equal
ratio
of
comedy,
sentiment
and
human
values.
Another
speciality
is
that
the
film
is
the
75th
movie
for
Jagapathi
Babu.
Sailaja
(Anushka)
loves
his
nephew
Chiku
(sister's
son)
very
much
and
at
the
same
time
hates
her
brother-in-law
Srikanth
(Arjun).
She
believes
that
Sri's
rash
driving
took
away
her
sister's
life.
Sailu
maintains
a
boutique
and
she
needs
to
repay
some
loan
amount,
which
she
can
not
as
it
does
not
run
well.
She
works
in
an
event
management
company
run
by
Ram
Pasumarthy
(Benarjee)
for
part-time.
Ram
promises
her
that
she
would
give
her
$100,000
(Rs
50
lakhs)
to
come
out
of
debt
burden
provided
he
gets
a
Japanese
contract.
She
decides
to
try
her
best.
But
Sailu's
nephew
wants
to
spend
his
time
with
his
father,
which
Sailu
does
not
like.
At
this
juncture,
KK
(Jagapathi
Babu)
enters
the
scene
and
opens
another
boutique
just
opposite
her
shop.
This
irks
Sailu.
Somehow,
he
tries
to
impress
her.
First,
Sailu
thinks
that
he
is
trying
to
impress
her
with
a
motive
to
love
her
or
marry
her.
But,
she
finds
that
KK
has
a
daughter
too.
So,
she
develops
a
soft
corner
towards
him.
When
the
officials
are
about
to
close
her
shop,
Sri
helps
her
by
sending
Nageswara
Rao
(MS
Narayana).
On
learning
this,
Sailu
outrightly
rejects
the
deal
and
gives
back
the
check
to
Sri.
Then,
KK
reveals
the
real
story
that
her
sister
has
died
not
in
accident
done
by
Sri,
but
by
herself
driving
the
car.
Even
Sri
married
another
woman
within
three
months,
because
the
girl
lost
both
her
legs
due
to
the
accident
made
by
Sailu's
sister
and
that
girl
withdrew
all
the
complaints
and
ensured
acquittal
of
Sri.
After
listening
to
all
this,
Sailu
repents
and
unites
Chiku
with
Sri.
At
this
juncture,
she
loses
her
heart
to
KK
and
proposes
him.
But
to
her
surprise,
KK
is
not
a
widower
and
his
wife
Vidya
(Bhoomika)
is
battling
with
life
with
acute
leukemia.
However,
Vidya
expresses
her
last
wish
to
Sri
through
a
letter
that
she
wants
Sailu
to
marry
KK.
However,
the
director
has
ended
the
film
with
a
question
mark
as
to
whether
KK
accepts
her
hand
or
not.
PLUS:
The
director
has
given
a
good
feeling
to
the
audiences
all
through
the
film.
Performance
by
all
the
three
lead
artists
is
excellent.
Jagapathi
Babu
is
perfect
in
the
character
and
his
body
language
and
histrionics
are
very
apt.
Bhoomika,
as
a
woman,
who
is
going
to
face
the
death,
has
performed
excellently.
While
Anushka,
has
done
a
good
job
as
an
impatient
girl.
Comedy
in
the
form
of
satires
on
Telugu
dubbing
films
are
another
highlight.
Dharmavarapu
Subrahmanyam
has
done
a
neat
job.
All
other
artists
including
Benarjee,
Saratbabu,
Prabhakar
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Comedy
by
Venumadhav,
Sunil,
Kondavalasa
and
Jhansi
is
enough.
MINUS:
Music
by
RP
Patnaik
is
a
let
down.
None
of
the
tunes
are
catchy.
However,
a
couple
of
songs
tuned
in
melody
are
good
and
their
choreography
is
good.
Manasa…
Mounamaa…
song
is
full
of
romantic
touch
and
the
family
audiences
may
not
expect
such
songs
in
Jagapathi
Babu's
film.
Camera
work
by
Rameshbabu
is
not
up
to
the
mark.
REMARKS:
As
a
whole,
the
film
is
true
to
the
expectations
from
Jagapathi
Babu.
It
is
just
a
film
from
Jagapathi
Babu.
The
screenplay
by
Gopi-Mohan
is
horrendous
and
the
film
is
very
slow
in
narration.
The
audiences
feel
impatience
while
watching
the
movie
because
of
the
slow
narration.
However,
if
they
really
involve
in
the
film,
they
could
enjoy
the
feeling
in
it.
A
complete
family
entertainer
and
may
not
suit
the
taste
of
the
youth
or
mass
audiences.
