Story
Srikrishna (Siddharth) is the sun of theatre projector operator (Sharat babu) in a village. Srikrishna used to watch every movie released in the theatre from his childhood and feels himself as a hero. Vikki (Munna) the son of Home Minister(Jayaprakash Reddy) rapes and murders a friend of Satyavathi (Ileana) . Satyavathi protests against him with other students in the college. Vikki then decides to marry Satyavathi in revenge. She then escapes from there and goes to Antarvedhi where Srikrishna sees her and falls in love with her. Srikrishna saves her from Vikki gang and police and takes her to Hyderabad and hands over her directly to Vikki. Remaining story is about how he saves her and wins her love.

Siddharth's performance is very good as a village boy. Ileana is beautiful and glamourous as usual. Comedy track involving Sunil and Jayaprakash Reddy is entertaining. First half is boring and second half has some relief with entertainment. Story of the movie and climax are pretty ordinary. Songs are good and cinematography by Chota K. Naidu is excellent. Devi Sri Prasad's music is good. Overall, it is not up to its expectations. Let us see how the public receives it.
