Narasimha Rayudu tries to stop it and in the process kills Bhoopathi and gets killed. Prabhu is the son of Narasimha Rayudu. He tries to marry her daughter to a young lad and gives the Mahal to the groom as dowry. Bhoopathi’s soul lives in the Mahal and tries to stop the marriage. His evil intent is not to allow any marriage in the mahal except his. Finally, Narasimha Rayudu’s soul enters the body of Manchu Manoj, the son of his loyal servant and save his Mahal and family.

Performance:

Manchu Manoj had completely stolen the show. His performances in three different shades are ultimate. There was a great maturity and tremendous development in his dialogue delivery and acting skills. Deeksha Seth is confined for songs. She got wasted again. Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna proved that she is good at acting again. Her character is good as Iyrendhri as she appeared earlier.

Raghubabu Abhinaya Sree comedy is good. Sunil, Sai Kumar, Prabhu and other roles were justified upto their mark. It is said that no miscasting i appeared in the movie. Every character performed up to their best.

Technical Performances:

Director Shekar Raja is the culprit in the entire fiasco. He got a decent subject in hand but failed to narrate it perfectly. The movie is a kind of story which needs a gripping narration which is totally absent. He is lucky enough to get his debut with a big star like Balayya and in big banner like Manchu Entertainments but he failed to encash the opportunities.

Songs by Bobo Sasi is a let down except Anuragame Harathulayya, no song is well picturized. The first song of the movie should be removed immediately or else families and ladies will walk out midway. Back ground score by Chinna is good. MR Varma editing is not up to the mark. Rajashekar’s cinematography is good. Lakshmi Bhupal’s dialogues are total let down. Balayya who is a king in dialogue delivery did not get any good dialogue.

Verdict : One Time Watch
