Tenali Ramakrishna (Sundeep Kishan) is a budding lawyer in Kurnool city. He doesnt get many cases to deal with.
Due to some incidents, he inadvertently takes up businesswoman Varalaxmis (Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar) case and bails her out from a murder case, thinking that she is innocent. However, he comes to know that Varalaxmi is not innocent.
How Tenali uses his brain to implicate her in the case is the rest of the drama.
Director G Nageshwara Reddy belongs to the old school of filmmaking. His comedies have worked ten years ago, but todays generation doesnt connect with these regular comedies. His recent flops are a proof.
After taking a long gap, he has come up with this film and tried to present the old comedy elements in a tetra pack but this old wine in a new bottle is not tasty enough.
It is a punishment to sit through a major portion of the movie where nothing happens other than some comedy punch dialogues.
A lawyer with no cases, a bunch of comedians doing all sorts of gimmicks in court premises and a hero falling for the daughter of a rich lawyer, etc. these scenes are straight out of a formulaic template of comedy movies.
Generally, Allari Naresh acts in such comedy movies. The only difference in Tenali Ramakrishna is that Sundeep Kishan has stepped in the shoes of Allari Naresh.
As Sundeep is not a typical comedy hero, the director has tried to include some mass moments and fights.
A couple of comedy portions have definitely generated laughs in the second half but the film is more of a cliched entertainer.
Nageshwara Reddy has included all the references of current political jargon Kodi Kathi, Grama Volunteers, political rap that bring smiles on the lips. But the whole episode of Sundeep Kishan Varalaxmi goes on and on spoiling the proceedings further.
All in all, Tenali Ramakrishna BA BL is a weak case that hardly wins the hearts of the audiences.
