What the story is about
Vivekananda is the son of a rich businessman who believes love is about pleasure and advises his son accordingly. Vivekananda thinks love is pure and sacred. He falls for Bharathi, a middle-class girl whose mother believes every wife should dominate her husband, and who therefore opposes a match with a rich man who will never be controlled. To prove both parents wrong, the young couple leave home and move in together, determined to live under one roof without sleeping together. The rest of the film is about whether they can make their point and win their families’ approval.

Reviews
Critics liked the first half more than the second. Idlebrain thought the director did a good job overall but that the serious second half had “no comedy and too many philosophical dialogues”. Full Hyderabad found Ravi Teja “charming and even believable” as a son advising his father on business and love, but felt the film turned contrived once the couple moved in together and “completely loses track” in its last hour, pointing to an unnecessary plane-hijack episode. Telugu Cinema praised the direction, screenplay, characterisation and Ravi Teja’s performance but doubted the weak second-half story would draw audiences.
