The film, with a focus on the faction fights in Rayalaseema,
is rather disappointing. Every aspect including the diction
is artificial. The artistes, while dubbing, forget about Rayalaseema
dialect and slip into routine diction. Secondly, serious and
violent characters are diluted and pushed into comic zone.
One finds this happening to S.P. Yadav (Sudhakar) and Lakshma
Reddy (Kota Srinivasa Rao).
Suresh plays Raghava, a young man with a violent background
but who wishes to change. The film opens with Raghava praying
for 'Vijayam', which obviously include the 'Vijayam', which
of this film. He wants to marry a girl named Anjali (Rajashri),
a close relative and his childhood friend. He comes to this
city to pursue a peaceful vacation. But the local goondas,
headed by S.P. Yadav, try to provoke him but are beaten back.
The letters S and P stand for 'settlement' and 'punishment'
which is Yadav's vocation. Anjali detests Raghava's violent
naure. Undaunted, Raghava applies other methods to win her
heart - like standing in rain before her house. The narration
suddenly slips into flashback where somebody suggests to Raghava
to apply violent methods to win Anjali.
This part has nothing much to relate but for showing a bit
of family scenes. Raghava's maternal uncle (Chalapati Rao)
refuses to give his daughter Anjali tohim in marriage. When
their opponent Lakshma Reddy (Kota Srinivasa Rao) asks his
son Raghava to behead Lakshma Reddy. But Raghava satisfies
himself by just humiliating the enemy. Raghava's childhood
friend Anajali arrives along with her parents. When the question
of their marriage arises, his uncle refuses to give his daughter
stating that his legs in faction wars. Veerareddy lost his
wife and his legs in faction wars. Veera Reddy then dies of
a stroke. Raghava's sister Lalitha insists that Raghava should
marry Anjali in order to bring the families together. Rest
of the drama moves in the direction.
Suresh and Rajashri in the lead roles occupy most part of
the first half. Strnangely Raghava behaves like an innocent,
but there are fights that involve him, which are anything
but innocent. The character artistes have nothing much to
do in the film. Music and photography are average.
