Plot
editThe film begins with a boy, Abhiram, who behaves differently in different situations, which causes bewilderment to his father, Eeswar Rao, so he immediately consults a neurosurgeon, Prabhudas. Here, it is revealed that the boy was born with two brains and holds a dual personality triggered by loud noises. Eeswar Rao now raises him as two Abhi / Ram dividing and sharing the time. But Abhiram becomes a self-hating person as both personalities possess contrasting lifestyles. Abhi is a rough, lazy playboy, whereas Ram is intelligent and outstanding and wants to dedicate his life to bachelorhood. The story takes a twist when a charming girl, Happy, enters his life whom Abhi loves, but she falls for Ram, looking at his humanity. Ahead, Ram, too, carries a girlfriend, Aascharya. As a side plot, Abhiram encounters a goon, Gagan Vihari, which throws him into a severe life threat. Later, the love between Abhi and Happy becomes intense, and they both plan marriage as Abhi says he will hypnotize Happy's father. The scene changes Abhi's parents in Happy's House for marriage fixation. Still, the father of Happy tells Abhi threatened him by saying marriage should happen since Abhi spoiled Happy; the father of Happy tells him he is ready to fix the marriage for Ram and not Abhi and that by surgery on the brain, he is prepared to do surgery free to kill brain of Abhi. The father of Abhi becomes sad. In the house, Ram is shown to behave like Abhi's character and goes instead of Abhi to threaten the father of Happy to trap Abhi into getting killed. Abhi says all his losses, though he was a topper, were due to Abhi, who is scrap. Abhi hears all these and is later shown as sad, confessing he is scrap drinking with his father. Now, on the marriage day, the goon comes for revenge against Ram. Ram says he realizes why Abhi is important and then awakens Abhi, who hits down all the goons and their chief.

Reception
editThe Hindu declares Burra Katha: It’s a no-brainer by Y. Sunita Chowdary, Five minutes into the story, it becomes obvious that we’re headed for an endless, agonizing experience.[7] The Times of India gives 1/5 rating, saying Burra Katha fails to impress and looks like this is yet another fail for Aadi Saikumar, even if he tries his best to deliver an earnest performance.[8] 123telugu.com provides 2/5 ratings, announcing Burrakatha – Disappointing Drama: The concept is interesting but the narration was no up to the mark.[9] NTV says the film lustily outdated object, writer-turned-director Diamond Ratna Babu fails to tell a quirky storyline in an engaging fashion.[10] The Hans India affirms that the movie doesn't have a solid story that fails to engage the audiences due to a lack of screenplay. Nevertheless, the film begins with an interesting concept and concentrated more on entertainment it is a big letdown.[11]
