Quite an unusual film from S.V. Krishna Reddy who has carefully carved a niche as clean director. His films are generally marked as family films. If people go to the film with same expectation, it will be a surprising disappointment for them. Almost all the characters in the film will be dying with sensual desires.

The story is about an extra marital affair of the hero (Jagapathi Babu) with his secretary (Asha Saini).

Hero's wife Soundarya is a typical Indian wife, who tries to change the deleterious ways of her husband instead of quitting him. The secretary who comes for the job never seems to be interested in the job even at the time of interview.

When Soundarya goes to her parents, the hero brings his secretary to the house. The real bust up will start when the wife returns. Some activity can be seen in the first half, while the second half is a routine bore.

Keeping aside the sensual scenes involving the hero and the secretary, the rest of the film is a cheap comedy with coarse double engendered dialogues of Brahmanandam, Srilakshmi and L.B. Sriram. The vulgarity reaches its peak when an old couple goes in search of a hide to fulfill their carnal desires on the first night of the hero and heroine. It will be a big blow to the image of Krishna Reddy. Music is also not appealing. It is only like a suggestion to the audience from him that "Let us compromise".
