Story: Kathi Kantha Rao (Allari Naresh) is a street smart police constable who is good at using his brain and getting what he wants. But he has his share of big responsibilities in the form of his family which comprises of four sisters, two married and two unmarried. Then, there is also his father (Dharmavarapu) who takes a written agreement from Kantha Rao that unless he does his duties as a son and clears all the issues of his sisters, he is not allowed to fall in love or get married to a girl. But then, Kantha Rao falls in love with Ratnam (Kamna Jetmalani) and they go very far in their relationship. With his sisters on one side and Ratnam on the other, Kantha Rao is in a tight spot but whether his brain help him this time also, watch it for yourself. Artist performances: Allari Naresh has come up with engaging performance and he carries his role with élan. Kamna Jetmalani was seductive as usual, there is a mystic sex appeal which draws the audience towards her. Dharmavarapu was fabulous. Kota was regular, Ahuti Prasad was above average, Raghu Babu was usual, Ali was quick, Krishna Bhagawan gave few witty smiles, Venu Madhav was effective, Kondavalasa was noisy, Chalapathi Rao was matured, the ladies did their bit as required and they provided glamour as well as contributed in their own way. Plus points:        * Allari Naresh Performance     * Comedy     * Kamna's glamour     * Dharmavarapu Imitating Jaggayya     * First Half Minus points:     * Slow Second Half     * Predictable Formula    Analysis: The film is meant for those who look for two plus hours of entertainment filled with comedy and some satire. Given the backdrop of EVV’s films, audience must have already got a taste of his comedy and those who like it will enjoy it. Though the format of the film is quite predictable, it is due to the grip over the script and the performances that worked. Revenue wise, this might be a profit grosser at the Box Office. Verdict: Breezy time pass entertainer, One time watcher!
