Comedy portraying two bumbling disciples of the eccentric philosopher Paramanandayya (Anjaneyulu). Into this standard folk narrative, scenarist Tapi Dharma Rao weaves a Shakespearean court intrigue while conveying his political concerns in lines like ‘It is better to starve than to rob others’ and in satirical attacks on political opportunism. Nageshwara Rao and Lakshmirajyam played the romantic leads.
