      Family movie

      Most of Jaga[athi's movies are less about fights and revenges and more about family formulas . Tired of Chiranjeevi styled violent stories , the audience took to him and his social movies Here he is a pickpocket in Hyderabad who comes across innocent and clumsy Saundarya who has run away from her village to meet her cousin ( Suresh ) . He hides a costly diamond necklace in her hand bag to escape the police ( Saarat babu ) . Half of the movie is about her journey to search for her cousin in this big city and his journey around her to snatch that hand bag. Saundarya realises that Jagpati is actually the son of a well to do family and has left home as a result of a fight with his father . A lot of twists and turns follow before she finds him . Its not shown as to why her family back in the village do not make any attempts to trace her . She realises soon that avaricious Suresh is now engaged to a rich hotel heiress Ritu Shivpuri . She still tries to woo him back by wearing glamorous clothes ( which don't suit her much ) with Jagapati Babu's help but he refutes her advances . In the end , Ritu turns her face away from Suresh when she realises his true nature. in the Saundarya and Jagapati unite . Saundarya wears nice silk sarees to show her homely domestic nature . Ritu is glamorous and wears body hugging velvet clothes . her slim frame is a delight to watch . Jagapati is super in every frame as a carefree youth lying and stealing , then some one with a change of a heart when he sees Saundarya's honesty then a concerned lover when she discovers the fraud that Suresh is and finally a reformed adult . Suresh plays the role of a greedy opportunist easily . Sudhakar does what he is good at - loud comedy act . All kinds of catchy songs ( solo , slow , fast tracks , duets , group , sizzling ) makes this movie watchable .
