Lingababu Love Story

Lingababu Love Story is a 1995 Telugu comedy directed by Vamsy, who also composed its music. Rajendra Prasad plays the title role opposite Rajasri, and the film was produced under the Sri Sravanathi Movies and Vineela Art Movies banners. It runs 135 minutes.

What the story is about

Lingababu is a good-natured coward who lives in a colony of neighbours who, like him, are getting by on very little. He hits on the idea of a mobile canteen that will employ them all, and when he learns that the bank loan he needs is meant only for disabled applicants, he and his friends fake their way into it. The canteen takes off, attracting the attention of Pentapaadu Raja, a nearly bankrupt nominal king who wants to buy it. Lingababu meanwhile falls for Raaga, and a string of accidents makes him look like a hero in her eyes. They marry, and only then does Lingababu learn that Raaga is in danger: she was the witness who sent the notorious criminal Pakir Dada to prison, and he wants revenge. How a man this timid deals with that is the rest of the film.
