| 15 | A massive censorship controversy transformed |
| 16 | this minor success into a major one. Sitaram |
| 17 | (Chiranjeevi), the son of a respected village |
| 18 | elder, is arrested and condemned to death for |
| 19 | murdering a police officer. The villains are |
| 20 | Vasundhara (Laxmi) and Kota Peddaiah |
| 21 | (Srinivasa Rao). They prevent the hero’s |
| 22 | pregnant sister (Ooha) from marrying her lover, |
| 23 | Peddaiah’s son (Chinna). Sitaram escapes from |
| 24 | custody and forces Pappi (Ramya), |
| 25 | Vasundhara’s elder daughter, to marry him, and |
| 26 | later masquerades as Mr Toyota, a wealthy |
| 27 | expatriate businessman. In this guise he first |
| 28 | tries to marry Vasundhara herself, and then her |
| 29 | second daughter Bobby (Rambha). Eventually, |
| 30 | his true identity revealed, he escapes once |
| 31 | again shortly before he is to be hanged, and |
| 32 | rescues his sister and parents-in-law (including |
| 33 | a now-repentant Vasundhara). In the |
| 34 | deliberately voyeuristic finale, he is seen in a |
| 35 | bedroom with both sisters Pappi and Bobby. |
| 36 | Reminiscent in some ways of Attaku Yamudu |
| 37 | Ammayiki Mogudu (1989) and Gharana |
| 38 | Mogudu (1992), the film’s release was |
| 39 | followed by several protests by women’s and |
| 40 | student groups calling for its ban, and |
| 41 | responses by members of Chiranjeevi’s fan |
| 42 | clubs threatening self-immolation if the film |
| 43 | was withdrawn. The main causes of the |
| 44 | controversy were the sexually explicit |
| 45 | dialogues and the hero’s flirtation with his |
| 46 | mother-in-law. A dance sequence featuring |
| 47 | Chiranjeevi with Laxmi and the two heroines |
| 48 | Ramya and Rambha was accused by film critics |
| 49 | of indecency. The song, however, was retained |
| 50 | and only a few other cuts were imposed by a |
| 51 | Censor revising committee. |
