The title misleads us into believing that it is an enjoyable
fare. But, the movie is far from it. There are talented actors,
young and old in important roles. The problem however, lies
in the story line. The theme would have appealed better had
it been dealt with seriousness.
The references to 'pourohityam' in the film are in bad taste.
Tanikella Bharani plays the role of a miser, who will do anything
to save money. His house looks more like a mental asylum.
The behavior of Tanikella's brother in the film (played by
AVS) also adds to this bizarre atmosphere. Akella's comical
dialogues take a dig at this miserly behavior. This is how
the subject moves till the main topic of friendship and love
figure.
Sriram (Saikiran) loves his college mate Swati (Laya). Surprised
to find an identical girl, called Jyothi, as the maid at his
house, Sriram wants to find out who she is. The story brings
in Sita (Jhansi), Swathi's elder sister, a victim of the miserly
man and his selfish son, Sankar (Vakkantham).
From then on, the film takes th e route of teaching a lesson
to the 'selfish old' and the 'greedy young' in the family.
Swathi becomes a 'sutradharini' and enters the house as a
maid to reform the family and teach them a lesson.
A girl called Rita and a policewoman (Kovai Sarala) play catalysts
to open the miser's eyes. The narration is confused and lacks
pace. Most of it is dialogue oriented.
Saikiran and Laya get the major share of histrionic part,
with veterans like Tanikella and AVS contributing to the lighter
parts in the film. Jhansi and Vakkantham in brief roles leave
their mark.
