Plot

edit

Advocate Raja is the son of big shot Sasi Bhushan Rao, who triumphs a sound file. His sibling Padma loves a pop singer, Kishore, but their father denies it. Thus, Padma attempts suicide when Raja shields and silently knits the turtle doves. Initially, Sasi Bhushan Rao rebukes but is slowly convinced. Whereat, he mocks at Kishore's scarcity, and with resentful pride, which provokes to entangle in the crime wing whose chieftain is under a veil. Besides, Raja gets into a squabble with a petty thief, Sita, and they crush. Time passed, and Padma gave birth to a baby boy. Parallelly, Raja detects Sai Bhushan Rao as an associate of the same web and protests him, who decides to quit the dark path. Anyhow, he is assassinated by the knaves when Raja seeks vengeance and aims to expose the monster. After crossing several avenues, he acquaints his father's acolyte, Nagulu, who directs him in busting the gang. Inward, Raja is startled to be aware of Kishore when he warns him to reform and aid in tracing the blackguard. As a flabbergast, it declares Nagulu is the true beast who abducts Kishore's kid and coerces him to slay Raja. At last, Kishore mingles the Raja, and they cease the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raja & Sita.

Reception

edit

A critic from Andhra Patrika praised the performances of the cast including the Rao (Jaggayya) character's dialogues and called the Rathi-Allu Ramalingaiah combination scenes entertaining.[2] A critic from Sitara magazine also praised the film's cast and music and wrote that the film's strange disguises, the villain's hideout resembling an ancient wizard's cave and the playsong of the heroines have become outdated.[3]
