The title
denotes a set of pet words used to pamper young children.
This is a children's film. Debut-making director Ashok Kumar
is a familiar actor who appeared on the small screen before
moving to the big screen for comedy roles. He directs this
movie for producer Saana Yadi Reddy of Sampangi fame. The
subject aims at projecting problems faced by parents in handling
their children.
Veteran
director and brilliant character-actor K. Viswanath is the
grandfather of an active child, Sai, whose very presence electrifies
the whole atmosphere. His role is shaped as a role model for
all grandparents. Besides his own grandchild, the other children
in the locality also some under his influence and treat him
as their own man.
He entertains
and educates them. Viswanath's (Achyut) and daughter-in-law
(Sana) ignore their children. Sana is a termagant too with
her husband playing second fiddle. She bombards her father-in-law
for preaching ancient morals to her son. The old man who is
forced to leave the house is duly looked after by other children.
In the process, we come across scenes like children being
used to transfer love letters, imitating film stars, getting
easily drawn to evil ways, and some trying to end their life
following failures in exams, etc.
Director
Ashok Kumar tries his best to weave the drama as a matrix
of moral and practical lessons. Viswanath, for a change is
seen dancing along with children. He performs with ease enjoing
his presence amidst children. All the child artistes are well
handled by the director. Among the rest, Achyut, Sana and
Dharmavarapu Subramanyam make an impact. Music is quite soothing.
