What's it about

Subbu (Allari Naresh) is a software engineer. He leads happy life. One day he attends a party and he wakes up in the morning finding himself in bed with a girl named Sanjana (Ritu Barmecha). That girl has three gangster brothers (Srihari, Subbaraju and Samrat) and they fix Subbu's wedding with their sister Sanjana. Trouble is that Subbu already has a girlfriend (Anita) and he doesn't want to marry Sanjana. But does he have guts to say no to these gangster brothers?

Analysis

Aha Naa Pellanta is maiden directorial venture of Veerabhadram who assisted several directors like Krishnavamsi, Teja, etc. Taking basic plot line and several of scenes from Korean comedy movie, Marrying The Mafia (2002), the debutant director has tried to inject entertainment that is regularly associated with hero Allari Naresh. Like director Srinu Vytla, Veerabhadram creates some hilarious moments (drunken scene, etc) with Brahmanandam and Srihari to sustain the audience's interest.

Though the film has anything original, the director has used Brahmanandam and Srihari to the fullest to bring out comedy. His spoof on famous lift scene of Mahesh Babu Pokiri with Brahmanandam has worked out so well. Such scenes and Allari Naresh's trademark acting makes the film worth a watch.

Performances
The role that Allari Naresh has played is in very much his domain. So he does it with convincing manner. But film completely hinges on the talents of Srihari and Brahmandam - who once again deliver with full marks. Ramesh in a drunkard role once again entertains. Newcomer Ritu has good looks. Anita in a small role is okay. Subbaraju, Samrat, M S Narayana and others have not much to do but they do justice to their roles.

On technical front, music director Kunch Raghu's work is good. Camera work is pretty average and so are other technical departments.

Debutant director Virabhadram passes the test in his first film. Story and scenes are copied from several films but he has provided entertainment, so that is his success.

Bottom-line

Aha Naa Pellanta is a time-pass flick. Don't look for any original jokes or ideas but it provides some good hilarious moments thanks to Srihari and Brahmanandam in the second half.
