Plot

When wealthy NRI Yuvaraj (Aryan Rajesh) comes to a village seeking a bride for himself, he finds a suitable choice in Radha (Anuradha Mehta). But it develops that she is in love with Devudu (Allari Naresh), a man thought to be dead. This is because of her father who doesn't want his daughter to marry a poor guy. He sends Devudu for earning money with the inherent idea of getting rid of him in the city. Devudu survives and leaves Singapore in a ship for earning money. When Devudu returns, the questions arise, why was he thought to be dead, and was it because somebody wished him out of their way?

Reception

Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film 3/5 and wrote "On a whole, it makes an average flick".^[3]

Indian Movies found that as a confused Non-resident Indian seeking a wife Aryan Rajesh was okay but it was Allari Naresh as Anu Mehta's love Devudu, returned from presumed death, who "steals the show".^[4] They concluded that Anu's Radha "doesn't have much to do".^[4]
