Moive: Dongodi Pelli, <br />Stars: Rajendra Babu, Jalak Nandini, Ratna Bhattal, <br />Director: Kodi Ramakrishna, <br />Producers: Pratap singh, Raja, <br />Music: Rajkiran, <br />Release: 15 September 2006 (India). <br /><br />Story: <br />Raju (Rajendrababu) is a petty thief. <br />Hundreds of cases are pending against him but the police could not arrest him as he leaves no evidence while committing the crime. <br />Though robbery is his profession, he is good at heart. <br />One Mandela Seshu kills a realtor in a party and Ratna Prabha (Ratna Bhattal) takes charge as special officer from CBI. <br />Seshu's mobile SIM cards contain the numbers with whom he had regular contacts. <br />Before he gets caught in an accidental blast, he conceals them in a talisman (Taayettu) tied around his neck. <br />If the police were able to get those SIM cards, it will give them a big breakthrough. <br />Masaraiah (Kota Srinivasa Rao) is a politician, who had several links with underworld mafia and also the land-grabbing mafia. <br />In fact it is Masaraiah who hatches the plan to kill that realtor by Seshu. <br />Fearing threat from Prabha, Masaraiah decides to get her married to his son (Prithvi) and convinces her. <br />Meanwhile, Abu (Nischal) chalks out a plan to grab the SIM cards from Seshu with the help of Raju, and uses Rekha (Jhalak Nandini) to lure him. <br />His plan works out and Raju brings those SIM cards. <br />While escaping from police, he enters the wedding of Prabha and under strange circumstances ties the knot to Prabha and escapes from the scene. <br />When Raju wants to meet Rekha to reveal the truth, he comes to know that he was cheated. <br />Now he wants to save his 'wife' from embarrassment, he decides to kidnap Seshu, whose evidence could bail her out. <br />But he gets killed in the hands of Masaraih's men. <br />Before his death, Raju videographs his death statement. <br />In the course of time, he also catches Rekha and secures the SIM cards as well. <br />The film ends on a happy note with the killing of Masaraiah and his men by Raju, who manages that it is an accident. <br />Rajendrababu once again failed in his attempt to get a break. <br />He still needs to improve a lot in showing histrionics and body language. <br />Ratna Bhattal is fair enough as a tough CBI officer and Jhalak Nandini filled the glamour slot. <br />Kota Srinivasa Rao is in his usual best as villain and Prithvi played a comedy villain in the film. <br />Comedy track between Satyam Rajesh, Kondavalasa Lakshmana Rao and LB Sriram is just okay. <br />A couple of tunes by Rajkiran are good to listen and the beach song between Rajendrababu and Jhalak Nandini was choreographed well. <br />Cinematography by Kodi Laxman is average. <br />With the old type of narration the film looked like a routine commercial formula film. <br />Had the film released in s, it would have been a hit. <br />But the present generation of audiences may not accept it.
