Chaitanya (Naga Chaitanya), son of a rich businessman (Murali Sharma) who is egoist, loves Anu (Anu Emmanuel) at first sight when she moves into his locality. Anu, an artiste, has huge ego issue too. Eventually he makes her fall in love with him.
In a sudden twist, Chitanyas egoist father gets them engaged on a dais in a spur of the moment. At that time, the henchmen of Anus mother come and take her way. Chaitanya now goes to Anus village and comes to know about her mother Shailaja Reddy (Ramya Krishna).
The twist in the tale is that Anu and her mother are not in talking terms. Why What has made this mother and daughter stop talking to each other and what problems are in store for Chaitanya
Director Maruthi who has been dishing out simple but entertaining movies with protagonists having some disease or problem has attempted a time tested theme here with some small change.
Instead of putting disease or disorder problem to the protagonist, here he has made three characters having ego problem heroine, her mother and heros father. The basic theme of the movie is ego issues.
Here hero is caught between Attha and his lover motherinlaw and her daughter, as well as his father, all are egoists though lovable and affectionate.
The situations arising from this issue has provided some comedy in the first half and middle portion but there is no gripping thread to connect with.
The memory problem of Nanis in Bhale Bhale Magadivoy can easily be connected by anyone. Even though it was not as gripping, the OCD problem of Sharwanand in Mahanbhavudu is also relatable.
But the problem in Shailaja Reddy Alludu is that the ego issues seem quite silly and also give the impression that they are created just for the sake of it and dont give organic flow of the story.
The film focuses on entertainment in the first half, while second half largely rests on sentiment and emotions.
The first half though in regular style is decent. The second half also runs in decent way but it goes down after sometime as it turns predictable and the exercise of hero trying to bring the mother and daughter on talking terms are not at all convincing.
The entire track of Vennela Kishore going into Ramya Krishnas bedroom to bring out Anu Emmanuel is so boring. Second half has such unnecessary scenes and when we thought the film is ending, a song and big scene come spoiling the mood further.
The plain narration in second half is major issue. The positive points are hilarious comedy track on Prudhvi and Vennela Kishore. Two songs are also good. But these under weigh.
All in all Sailaja Reddy Alludu disappoints with routine and dull narration. The film does provide some laughs, but nothing to rave about.
