What's it about
Katti Kanta Rao (Allari Naresh) is a police constable who is burdened by family responsibilities – to constantly feed the money to his two sister’s husbands, and has to marry off two more younger sisters and give money daily to his alcoholic father. On the other hand he falls for the charms of a girl called Ratnam (Kamna) but he can’t marry her. Because his father made a legal agreement with Kantarao that unless he marries off his sisters, he should not marry. How Kantarao comes out of this entanglement is all about the movie.
Analysis
EVV Satyanarayana, who made some great entertainers in the past, just rehashes his old formula this time too with Katti Kantarao. But he succeeds to some extent in creating some funny moments and slap-stack comedy scene. Like in the recent EVV movies, this movie too suffers with inconsistent screenplay. He comes to the point, only after beating around the bush (read as non-related comedy scenes and jokes) for most part of the movie. The other problem is that the director projects the heroine as prostitute till the end, and gives a twist in the end but you get convinced with that half-baked reason. While it starts off funnily, the movie falters further as the run time progresses. Overall, Allari Naresh’s comic act, Dharmavarapu’s mimic of later actor Jaggayya and some other scenes evoke laughter.
Performances
Allari Naresh is good at delivering entertainment with his flawless acting. Kamna has not much role except providing glam. The usual gang of comedy actors in EVV’s films all are present and they have done tried to provide some funny moments. Of them, Dharmavarapu steals the show.
Dialogues by Prasad Varma at times are hilarious. Cinematography, editing and other technical persons have done neat job. Music is mediocre. Senior director EVV Satynarayana has ably managed to make the movie amusing although he has no sound script.
Bottom-line!
Don’t expect rib-tickling comedy, then you won’t be disappointed much. Katti Kantarao is typical of EVV's recent movies but provides some timepass entertainment.
