Plot

The title is suggestive of a grandmother-grandson relationship. Yedukondalu is looked after by his grandmother Gundamma after his mother's death while his father, Srisailam is an alcoholic. Ali falls in love with Mahalakshmi, whose father Neelakanta is a greedy person and wants his would-be son-in-law to own a hotel. With the help of his grandmother Yedukondalu sets up a hotel.
Neelakatna reluctantly agrees to the match but later calls off the wedding after receiving a better marriage proposal for his daughter. Yedukondalu is beaten up and dumped on the railway track. Injured, he nevertheless rescues a girl stuck in a car on the tracks. Together they join hands to set up a successful restaurant. Yedukondalu then distances himself from Mahalakshmi. Whether he ends up with her makes up the rest of the story.

Reception

A critic from Rediff.com rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "Jaya seems to have got carried away by the commercial format resulting in an out of sync effect. Overall an average film."
