The movie
starts with Chinni(Nagarjuna) revealing, on a train journey
from Pune to Hyderabad, that he just got out of jail after
seven years. His past is revealed in a flash back.
He had been a singer, waiting for the big break. Indu(Simran)
hears his voice, though she doesn't see him and becomes his
fan. When Chinni realizes this, he tries to reveal who he
is but circumstances place him and Indu in situations where
she ends up thinking that he is a rowdy. Chinni ultimately
becomes responsible for her losing her eyesight too.
He devotes himself to her from then onwards attending to her
every need. She learns to respect and love him too, thinking
that he is the singer and not knowing that he is the same
person she thought was a rowdy.
Chinni had been telling his mother everything by letter and
when she dies, she donates her eyes to Indu. To come up with
the money needed for the operation, Chinni donates his kidney
and has to travel to Pune for the same. Ready to get back,
he is arrested after mistakenly agreeing to look after the
luggage (which turns out to contain ammunition) of another
man.
Back in the present, everything has changed at the place he
used to live. Having nowhere to go, he catches a glimpse of
Indu, now the collector. He goes to meet her, and then ...

Artists:
Nagarjuna: Nagarjuna is back in form with a big bang.
He is at his charming best in this film. He looked very fresh.
He changed his dancing paradigm and did a few sensible and
variety steps. In the earlier films he used to dance irrespective
of his comfort level at it. But in this film he made sure
that his body is in sync with his comfort level. Except for
a couple of sad scenes, Nag has stolen the hearts of viewers
in all the scenes.
Simran: Simran is maturing as an actress from
film to film. She acted as a blind girl in the second half
of the film. She looked very beautiful even as a blind girl.
At the same time she made sure that her eyes are lifeless.

Screenplay
& Direction: Pratap has shown the sparks of Kodi Rama
Krishna. He is good at picturing the mass aspect of the shots,
but lacks the deftness of canning class shots. There are two
particular scenes in which he failed. One is when Chinni comes
to know about his mother's death, he go the toilet and cries.
He could not extract the right kind of emotions from Nag.
The second one is when Indu meets Chinni in the climax, he
failed in extracting good action from Simran. But he knows
the pulse of masses. As a debutante, he did a wonderful job.
Music: SA Raj Kumar's music is the life line of the
film. Just like his earlier films, he has chosen a melodious
song, Patala
Pallakilo, to exploit the music and clicked this time
too. Kalalonaina
is another beautiful song.
