Plot

Yadagiri (Prakash Raj) is a handicapped mafia leader in Hyderabad, and KR (Raghuvaran) is a rich businessman. Bhagyamati (Aarthi Agarwal) is Yadagiri's daughter, and Bobby (Mahesh Babu) is KR's son. The story of this film deals with what happens when these two people fall in love with each other. Bobby meets Bhagyamati in a club and falls in love with her. They later find out that their fathers are arch rivals. Bhagyamati's mother was killed in an accident involving their fathers. Knowing this, Bobby and Bhagyamati elope, but due to unavoidable circumstances, they come back and are injured in a bomb blast. Then, their fathers apologize and make up. In the end Bobby and Bhagyamati are married.

Cast

Reception

Jeevi from Idlebrain gave a modest 3.25 out of 5 and praised Mahesh Babu for his acting.[2] The movie was a failure at the boxoffice.

Alternate ending

On release, the film climax was such that both the lead actors are killed. With the film receiving negative reviews and to bolster revenues, the climax was changed such that it was a happy ending as Telugu audiences in general do not like anti-climaxes. In spite of this change, the film could not recover and was termed as a box office bomb.
