Story:
In a village steeped in superstition, a baby girl is born after many years — Rajakumari (played by Deepika Pilli). Her arrival is seen as a divine blessing. Crops flourish, rains arrive on time, and fortunes turn. Convinced that she brings luck, the village elders declare that she must never leave — and must one day marry one of the sixty boys born before her in the same village.
Her father, hesitant but helpless against tradition, agrees.From that day on, the sixty boys are raised with a singular purpose — to win Rajakumari’s heart. She grows up admired, adored, and surrounded by constant competition. The village builds a wall around her life, both literally and emotionally. No outsiders are allowed — especially not men.
Years later, an outsider arrives.Krishna (played by Pradeep Machiraju), a young civil engineer, steps into the village to oversee a government project. He’s respectful, curious, and doesn’t quite fit the mold — which only draws Rajakumari closer. In quiet corners and stolen glances, their friendship deepens into love. They try to keep their relationship a secret, but eventually the villagers find out.
What happens next? How do they overcome the strict village tradition? What kind of obstacles do they face? These questions form the rest of the story.
Review:
Pradeep Machiraju, who had proven himself with his lively anchoring skills, takes on a lead role with a pleasant change of rhythm in Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi. His Krishna is understated, natural, and endearing. Rather than take the clichéd over-the-top hero track, Pradeep plays it down — and that’s what makes his act appeal to the masses. His comic timing shines without ever feeling forced, making Krishna a very relatable character.
Deepika Pilli, in her debut, delivers a surprisingly confident performance. She brings a strong screen presence and handles emotional and fun scenes with equal ease. Her chemistry with Pradeep is a definite highlight — their pairing feels effortless and endearing, giving the story its emotional core.
Comedian Satya steals the show in the first half with laugh-out-loud moments. Getup Srinu also lands solid punches, keeping the momentum going. In the second half, Vennela Kishore and Brahmaji step in with comic relief, though their scenes aren’t quite as impactful.
The movie begins on a positive note. The transition from the modern city infrastructure to the old-fashioned village, where people live in ignorance of the world outside their borders and have superstitions, is smooth, and the pace of the story picks up. The first half is hilarious, containing satirical one-liners and interesting sequences. The love story of Krishna and Rajakumari is treated with a lighthearted, carefree brush that suits.
The interval twist, where the villagers discover the secret romance, sets up the conflict for the second half. Unfortunately, this is where the film loses some of its spark. Once the narrative returns to the city, the writing becomes less focused, and the pacing dips. While the performances still try to hold things together, the screenplay feels a bit flat and predictable in parts.
Despite the second half not matching the charm of the first, the film never becomes dull. The early comedy, fresh pairing, and rustic backdrop make for an entertaining watch overall — especially considering its modest budget.
On the technical front, Radhan’s music supports the film well. The songs might not be chartbusters, but they’re tuneful and mix well with the narrative. The background score is in sync with the mood, and Ball Reddy’s cinematography captures the picturesque beauty of the village with elegance. The visual aesthetics are plain but pleasant, and the production values are good for the scale of the film.
Newcomers directors Nitin and Bharat take the film in hand quite confidently. They are able to get good performances and maintain a light tone. Writer Sandeep Bolla develops a straightforward story with good cultural base, infusing it with contemporary dialogues and situational comedy that appeals to the youth.
Akkada Ammayi Ikkada Abbayi is a warm, light romantic comedy with natural performances, wholesome humor, and a warm village backdrop. Although the second half could have done with tighter writing, the film still has enough charm and humor to be worth watching — especially for fans of light-hearted Telugu cinema.
