Story:
An entertaining tale, the story begins with PJ (nani) who is a headstrong guy with strong ego and attitude. His overconfidence is from the fact that he is going become rich by Rs 5000 crores once he becomes a major as his late grandfather (nagineedu) writes his property. However, when the will is read, it is stated that PJ must fulfill one condition. He should complete his degree in 3 years and that too by staying at a particular hostel in Siripuram with a pocket money allowance. PJ goes ahead for fulfilling the condition. However, he comes across few situations and individuals which changes his perspective towards life. What are those situations and whether he is able to fulfill the condition or not forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:
The director has come up with a thought provoking storyline and while the presentation was neat, the narrative was engaging at many instances. The dialogues were humorous. The script was written well and the screenplay got crisp at key points. Background score was good and the songs were hummable. Cinematography was upto the mark. Editing was matured but it was required during the second half. Costumes were natural and the art department was suiting the moods. Nani has come up with an excellent performance and he scores well. Haripriya looks sizzling hot and though she has not done any skin show, her natural sex appeal is good. Bindu Madhavi was brief and she filled the screen. Ravu Ramesh was regular. Nagineedu was alright. M S Narayana was good. Vennela Kishore was funny. The gang of friends like Tagubothu Ramesh and others gave many light moments.

Conclusion:
As such, the film has been treated in a completely different way and it is more of a feel good movie than the regular formula flick. The first half passes off without any hitch and there are many moments that bring you smile. The second half is where the film loses its speed and it gets into a lot of preaching, emotional overdose and melodrama. Overall, the film is good due to its rustic nature and the humane touch to the subject. At the box office, this has a good chance to score profits.

Verdict: Meaningful, can be watched once
