Set in Kakinada, the film revolves around a young girl Venkata Lakshmi (Nitya Shetty), her bava Krish (Viswant) who returns from China, and her lover Prabhu (Sanjay Rao).
Venkata Lakshmis father files a complaint with the police that her daughter Venkata Lakhsmi who left for a picnic in Araku has been missing. Police get the information that her car crashed into the valley.
The inspector (Brahmaji) first suspects Krish but he later understands that hes richer than Venkata Lakshmi and hes in love with her. Prabhu is the natural suspect. But the police officer realizes that Prabhu is also innocent.
Then who is the culprit What is the real twist in the tale.
Pitta Katha means parable, a small story that ends with a moral lesson. In this film starring Viswant, Nithya and senior actor Brahmajis son Sanjay Rao, the story is also very simple, almost paper thin.
The new director has relied heavily on the final twist. To be fair, the twists are interesting. The screenplay, though goes on expected lines, keeps us engaging. But we have to sit through watching old fashioned bava maradalu track, the dull episodes of a rich girls romance with a fit for nothing guy before getting the twist in the end. These scenes test patience. Because they are cliched, and the actors lack both looks and acting skills.
The romantic track between Nithya and Brahmajis son is quite boring. She keeps on slapping on his face and the director thought it is a romantic gesture between this couple.
The new director has a yen for comedy is evident in occasional situations that have generated good laughs. Example a single screen owned by heroines father screens a soft porn movie named Rendava Ratri.
The hero asks why this title. She replies, it is a sequel to a film called Modati Ratri. Some comedy lines mouthed by heros friend makes you cringe.
All in all, Pitta Katha is like a short film that is stretched beyond a point. Despite the interesting twists, the overall experience doesnt entice much.
