Rajendra Prasad is known for clean comedies. But, this film
proves to be a sad experience. It is a total disappointment
as the story and dialogue are stale. Director Jyothi Kumar
could have gone for something better than this illogical script
and senseless plot.
The drama is set in a village, Talamanchi, a fiefdom of Seshadri
Naidu (Ranganath) where the zamindar's word is the law. The
punishment he gives to offenders and the way his younger brothers
execute it, remind us of autocracy. There is none to question
his tyrannical rule.
Sundaram (Rajendra Prasad) arrives in the village seeking
the post of a Hindi teacher in a local college owned by Seshadri.
He gets in touch with a lecturer (Brahmanandam), addressed
as PD, who schemes to become principal by displacing the incumbent
(M.S. Narayana). Sundarm gets the job, after praising on the
village head.
Seshadari's daughter Sirisha (Bhavana) either teases people
or sings and dances on the countrysicde along with her friends.
Sundaram is her latest victim. However, he has a soft corner
for Sirisha, and mistakes her naughty ways for love. In the
process, he earns the wrath of Seshadri. After some explanation,
a vexed Naidu finally allows him to leave the village only
if his daughter accepts, within a fortnight, that she loves
Sundaram.
From then on, Sundaram's nightmarish moments continue, till
a widow (Delhi Rajeswari), a victim of Seshadri's dictatorial
ways, and Rajeswari (Jayasudha), the zamindar's younger sister,
enter his life and change the entire story. All the twists
are reserved for the last two reels.
While Rajendra Prasad is the major victim of this bad script,
noted comedians- Brahmanandam, M.S. Narayana and L.B. Sriram
fare no better. Bhavana as Sirisha has no major role to play
except for sporting a mischievous smile to hook Sundaram.
There are a bunch of character actors in other minor roles.
Music and photography make no impact at all.
