REVIEW:

The story is set in a small village in Araku. Gaali Sampath (Rajendra Prasad) has speech impairment issues and cannot speak anything other than ‘Fi Fi’ and ‘Fa Fa’. However, he has the strong desire to participate in dramas. His son Suri (Sree Vishnu) is a responsible truck driver who dreams of buying his own truck. While Suri is busy chasing his dreams, Gaali Sampath keeps falling in trouble with the villagers, leading to a clash between the father and son. One such clash has dire consequences and how the duo deal with it forms the crux of the story.

Rajendra Prasad takes up a gutsy role and delivers one of his finest performances in recent times. Sree Vishnu too delivers a mature performance and his equation with Rajendra Prasad is the highlight of this film.
