Director Sivanageswara Rao's name is associated with good
comedy and Brahmanandam has always been his trump card, right
from his directorial debut film Money, which won him a Nandi
award.
Now appears to be bent upon showing his versatility. This
film augurs this change. This film combines romance, college
pranks and action. Rajendrakumar is introduced as the hero,
while the director gives a break to journalist-turned writer
Ravi Kolikipudi, as story and dialogue writer. Similarly a
new music composer is also introduced in Maharushi.
The story starts in the college campus, showing students having
fun. On the other side we have Brahmanandam, with whom most
of the pre-release publicity is done, in the role of a 'Don'.
He employs people to spread fear, whenever he plans to attack.
They are all in his payroll and he raises money for this by
selling his property, in his native place. But the repetition
of such scenes, sans substance, results in monotony.
Meanwhile, Ramana (Rajendrakumar) gets his sister married
to the boys she loves, by helping her elope with him, after
performing their marriage secretly.
The main plot puts Ramana in a fighter's role. He handles
two dons - Sambhu and Poorna, who occupy five acres of land
belonging to his uncle (Giribabu).
Ramana first corners Raju, a stooge of Poorna, and uses his
services to invite the two dons to a pre-decided point for
consultations.
After they reach there, Ramana opens fire. And the two groups
think that the other group is attacking them. In the eventual
fight the two groups finish each other. The story also ends
there.
Rajendrakumar fares better in action scenes. Chandramohan's
as Raman's father, Sudha as his mother and Tanikella as the
father of the girl he loves are the important characters and
they perform well.
Sivanageswara Rao tries his best to add fresh elements to
the narration. Brahmanandam fares better despite the unfriendly
script.
