After giving chartbuster hit 'Kandireega', actor Ram and filmmaker Santosh have paired for the second time. The director has relied on his strength picking up an action-comedy genre, which is a home turf for Ram. After 'Nannaku Prematho,' this is one such movie which shows bonding between father and son.
Is the duo's combo successful in creating the magic? We have to get into details to find out....
Story:
Surya (Ram) plays a smart street guy who not just loves but is 'obsessed' with his father Narayana Murthy (Satyaraj). How his love turns into hilarious situations are to be watched for. Murthy lands in trouble and is pestered by hooligans on the directions of powerful minister essayed by Rao Ramesh.
Murthy is a Government employee and is a stern follower of rules, discipline and doesn't mend ways for anyone. Things go awry, when Rao Ramesh wants one of the files to be get signed by Murthy. But to his dismay, Murthy doesn't pay heed to him despite Rao Ramesh being a minister. Irked minister then targets Surya's family.
How Surya saves his family and how wriggles out his dad from the goons clutches is the story about.
A still from the filmAnalysis:
Santosh Srinivas has been successful in delivering the movie peppered with humor element. The first half is a delight to watch for the comic scenes turning into hilarious acts.
Raashi Khanna doesn't have a meaty role but brings ín the oomph quotient. The sizzling chemistry between Ram and Raashi works out well adding extra zing. Ram's acting acumen lifts the movie in first half and Rao Ramesh is always top-of-the-line for a film. But unfortunately, director went overboard with his emotions in second half.
The crescendo falls flat as everything is predictable. Ram fits the bill and justifies his role perfectly. Mostly shot in Vizag, the cameraperson brings us rich locales freezed in for the camera.
The music doesn't help and you don't find any catchy songs or more so you don’t even remember any wacky song.
Verdict:
A routine potboiler with a social message certainly will appeal the mass audience. Although it’s a paisa vasool but don’t expect to be out of the box.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
