It a simple story of a construction worker and a girl that he accidentally meets. Koti (Muralikrishna), Suri (Samudra), Rattalu (Abhinayasri), and others (RK, Kovai Sarala, Suman Shetty, Geetha Singh) work in a construction site. Kanneganti Malleshwari a.k.a Malli (Bhumika) joins them in disguise as a man. The police is close behind her and so are some goons. It's soon revealed that she came to India from Bangladesh. What's her background? Why did she come to India? Why did she resort to a disguise and work at a construction site?

Muralikrishna, who debuts as a hero in the film, is at ease in acting and dances and has good screen presence. Bhumika is an apt choice for the performance-oriented role that requires portrayal of multitude of emotions. She's particularly good in the first half where she essentially uses expressions than dialogues, and acts with minimal makeup.

She's beautiful in the second half of the film, particularly in the song suvvi suvvii suvvaalaa.... . Director Samudra also appears in the film in a full-length role. Comedy track with Venumadhav is unconnected to the film and fails to evoke much laughter either. Farzana appears in the item song, while Abhinayasri appears in an insignificant character role.

The screenplay is gripping, but the extra comedy track with Venumadhav is totally out of place. Story by Ramesh Varma, partly inspired by the Iranian film Baran, is touching and is adapted very well to the Telugu nativity.Music is surely the best highlight of the film and the rerecording elevates the scenes greatly, as can be expected of Ilayaraja. Songs are shot well too, and are coupled with fitting lyrics.

Verdict - Average
