Story
A tale fit during the Ramayana era, it begins with Sivaji (Rajasekhar) who works night and day as a kid without eating food. Well, he has six brothers (Rohit, Aditya Om, Yashwanth, Raj Kalyan, Ping Pong, Master Bharath) to take care of and moreover, he wants each of them to become IAS, IPS, Doctor etc. All grow up but Sivaji decides not to get married unless his brothers are settled. However, his uncle Parameswara Rao (Jayaprakash Reddy) persuades him and even the brothers do the same. Sivaji agrees and much to his luck, he comes across Manjula (Kamalini) who also likes him. However, the problem is with Manju's aggressive sister (Jhansi ) who is strictly against big families due to her own experience. She wants Manju to get into a nuclear family. Parameshwar Rao lies that Sivaji has only one brother and the marriage takes place. As expected, the truth comes out and what happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Artist performances


Rajasekhar had his regular expressions and smiles so that’s about him. Kamalini needs to have proper food, she looks like she just came out of illness. Jayaprakash Reddy was hilarious and engages the audience in a good way. Sayaji Shinde was underutilized. Rohit, Aditya Om, Yashwanth, Raj Kalyan, Master Bharath were just there to fill the screen and shed tears at the slightest instant. Brahmanandam came and went. Jhansi was impressive.

Plus points
* Jayaprakash reddy
* the theme of being together
* Jhansi


Minus points
* weak direction
* pre historic storyline
* songs
* technical values
* overdose of sentiment
* bizarre emotional moments
* immature portrayal of relationships
* dragged second half

Analysis
The film would have fitted well if it came during the black and white era, perhaps the liberties taken in the film would have been accepted by the audience then. It is a nice thing to show about family values and togetherness but there is something called life and career which needs to be given importance as well. The film fails to convey its message properly and stuffing it with overdose of emotions and immature thoughts has hampered its impact. This might fare better at the B and c centers and that too to the highly sentimental audience but otherwise, it will sink.

Verdict : Forget it!
