 Story

His father wish Sukumar to visit his grand mother Vardhanamma (Sarada) who longs to see her grand daughter. But Sukumar spurns his father as he gives importance to the growh of his company.
Suddenly when his company plunges in financial crisis, he tries for bank loadn and when he couldn't get anywhere he realises that he has his ancestral property which can be his, if his grand mother signs it. With a plan in mind he flies to India and whether he is successful in his attempts should be seen on silver screen.

Performances
Aadi gave good performance. His dialogue delivery is good and showed good ease in adapting himself to different shades in his role. He expressed himself well in emotions, humorous and cunning scenes. He exceled in dances and fights.Nisha Agarwal did not get chance to perform but is beautiful in songs. Bhavana Ruparel role is limited. Krishna and Sarada as grand parents outshone all with their performances which will put others to shame.
Raghu Babu, MS.Narayana, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Tagubotu Ramesh comedy is good. Rao Ramesh did well in his role while others like Chandra Mohan, Gollapudi Maruti Rao, Tanikella Bharani did justice to their roles.

Analysis
Director G.Ashok seems to have certain fascination for village backdrop films. His earlier film Pilla Jamindar also in rural backdrop and he continued the same. He seems to have fixed mind set like fist half comedy, sentiment and second of mass fights. Same is the case with songs.
The film's story is routine and stresses importance in human relations than money. This is similar to Greeku Veerudu. However director's bid to create comedy in village backdrop did not click as everything looked artificial.
Many get the feeling that one need not be making fool of themselves while maintaining a drama company. Lack of novelty in screen play and direction did not help the film cause. One gets a feeling that they are watching a total sentimental film one moment and suddenly mass entertainer the next moment. Slow pace of the film in the first half is the biggest drawback.

Technicals
Production values are good. Music by Anup Rubens is good and songs are well filmed. Cinematography of Sai Sreeram beautified the film. Editing by Praveen Pudi could have been better.

FinalWord- Just another Greekuveerudu
