EVV
Satyanarayana
and
Allari
Naresh
can
be
considered
as
synonyms
for
entertainment
in
the
present
Telugu
cinema.
While
EVV
makes
the
audiences
laugh
from
behind
the
camera,
his
son
does
the
same
as
a
hero.
The
combination
of
the
two
has
got
another
wonder
on
the
celluloid
in
the
Telugu
movie
Bendu
Appa
Rao.
Bendu
Appa
Rao
(Allari
Maresh)
is
a
RMP
doctor
in
a
tiny
village
in
East
Godavari.
Though
he
does
not
have
much
knowledge
about
medicines,
he
uses
his
brain
to
come
out
of
critical
situations.
He
earns
money
by
all
means
as
his
sister
faces
torture
in
the
hands
of
her
husband
(Krishna
Bhagawan),
as
he
could
not
pay
the
entire
dowry
to
him.
He
maintains
close
relations
and
friendship
with
everyone
in
the
village,
which
include
a
barber
(Uttej),
a
tailor
(Srinivasa
Reddy),
a
washer
man
(LB
Sriram)
and
a
postman
(Kondavalasa
Lakshmana
Rao).
Raja
(Ahuti
Prasad)
is
a
landlord
and
Padma
Priya
(Kamna
Jethmalani)
is
his
only
daughter.
Padma
falls
in
love
with
Appa
Rao
and
the
latter
too
loses
his
heart
to
her.
Once,
Appa
Rao
and
his
friends,
while
returning
to
village
after
watching
a
movie,
find
a
grievously
injured
person
called
Sivaji.
Before
breathing
his
last,
he
pleads
with
Appa
Rao
to
hand
over
Rs
15
lakh
to
his
family.
Despite
lot
of
pressure
from
his
friends
to
share
the
money
among
themselves,
Appa
Rao
makes
many
efforts
to
hand
over
the
money
to
Sivaji"s
kin.
On
learning
that
Sivaji"s
parents
are
no
more
and
sister
had
left
the
country
after
marrying
a
person,
Appa
Rao
agrees
to
share
the
money
between
the
tailor,
barber
and
himself.
He
gives
them
Rs
2
lakh
to
each
to
settle
their
debts;
he
too
takes
a
part
of
the
money
to
settle
his
sister"s
life.
He
utilizes
the
balance
amount
to
construct
a
school
building
in
the
village
and
names
it
after
Sivaji.
However,
Appa
Rao
makes
everyone
believe
that
they
got
a
prize
in
lottery.
Accidentally,
Sivaji"s
parents
and
sister
reach
the
village
and
Appa
Rao
comes
to
know
the
truth.
He
feels
guilty
as
he
had
already
spent
the
money.
So,
he
mortgages
his
house
to
a
local
trader
(Jeeva)
and
spends
it
for
the
bypass
surgery
of
Sivaji"s
father.
He
also
promises
to
marry
Sivaji"s
sister.
What
happens
to
the
love
between
Padma
and
Appa
Rao?
Did
Sivaji
marry
Padma
or
Sivaji"s
sister?
Did
the
truth
come
out
that
Sivaji
had
paid
him
Rs
15
lakh?
What
kind
of
troubles
did
Appa
Rao
face
after
the
revelation
of
truth?
Answers
to
all
these
questions
form
part
of
the
climax.
PERFORMANCE:
Allari
Naresh
has
once
again
proven
that
he
is
very
good
at
comedy.
He
has
maintained
perfect
comedy
timing
and
has
shown
good
ease
in
dances
as
well.
The
emotional
scenes
picturised
on
him
has
came
out
perfectly.
Kamna
has
got
a
very
good
role
in
this
film.
She
has
been
shown
in
a
romantic
way
and
she
too
has
shown
good
ease
in
dances.
She
has
got
a
good
opportunity
to
show
her
performance
capabilities
too.
Once
again
Ahuti
Prasad
has
got
a
very
good
role.
His
characterization
is
impressive
and
reminds
the
audiences
of
'Chandamama".
Other
notable
performers
are
LB
Sriram.
Srinivasa
Reddy,
Uttej
are
Kondavalasa
Lakshmana
Rao.
The
comedy
track
on
Dharmavarapu
Subrahmanyam
and
Ali
are
just
okay
and
passable
but
truly
not
very
much
needed
for
the
movement
of
the
story.
Sakuntala
has
perfectly
replaced
Nirmalamma
and
her
performance
is
good
to
watch.
TECHNICAL:
Cinematography
by
Jayaram
is
impressive.
He
has
perfectly
captured
the
beautiful
locales
in
foreign
countries
and
has
also
shown
the
same
shrewdness
in
capturing
the
village
atmosphere.
Story,
dialogues
and
script
written
by
Giri,
Veligonda
Srinivas,
Vegesna
Satish
and
Mohan
are
okay.
Music
by
Koti
is
not
that
impressive
as
none
of
the
songs
are
catchy
or
none
of
the
tunes
is
foot
tapping.
Even
Kotihas
failed
in
providing
good
background
score
as
the
music
has
failed
to
elevate
any
of
the
scenes.
Gauthamraju"s
editing
is
good
in
parts.
Last
but
not
the
least,
the
screenplay
and
direction
by
EVV
Satyanarayana
is
very
impressive.
Despite
a
thin
storyline
and
delicate
subject,
the
director
has
been
able
to
perfectly
blend
the
comedy,
love
and
sentiment
without
giving
any
scope
for
boring
scenes.
Though
he
has
lost
grip
on
the
film
in
a
handful
of
scenes,
he
has
been
able
to
regain
the
grip
and
perfectly
end
the
subject.
ANALYSIS:
The
director
has
been
able
to
explain
the
mentality
of
the
villagers.
He
has
tried
to
highlight
that
the
villagers,
though
having
many
problems
in
their
families,
would
stand
by
their
word
and
work
for
the
welfare
of
others.
Though
there
are
certain
lapses
and
cinematic
twists
in
some
scenes,
as
a
whole
the
film
is
worth
watching
and
the
audiences
would
feel
satisfied
for
the
ticket
they
have
purchased
as
they
are
sure
of
getting
a
hearty
laugh
from
the
word
go
till
end.
