This film is not only going to keep you awake this Sivaratri it will give u nightmares if you attempt to sleep as nothing is right in the film. Neither the title, the story or even the characters don't make sense but the filmmaker has the audacity to call the protagonist or the hero 'right'.

Srikanth is called 'right' as he is the right hand man of Pradeep Rawat who is the father of all goons. One fine day Mr. Right draws a sketch, in other words or filmi parlance he eliminates Pradeep Rawat's son GV and the film gets a story here onwards.

There are two more puppets in the film, puppets because they do as directed. We have already discussed Srikanth who now has an aim in life i.e., to face the music from Pradeep Rawat. The second is Ajay who trusts his friend immensely but loses his life. Surprisingly Ajay's family is not shown as grieving for him.

Even Srikanth is not seen as clenching his fists or biting his teeth, he just falls hook, line and sinker for Kaveri Jha whose ambition is to do research on street rowdies and before the theisis ends she has already rolled over him in white sand, blue waters, etc.

The lady apart from teaching the ABCDs of love gives him a brilliant idea of setting up a marriage bureau for all estranged couples. Meanwhile another puppet Jagapati Babu thankfully without a coke can this time gives a heavy 'build up' but calmly accepts a transfer letter from his chief and is out of the scene. Kalabhavan Mani is the new ACP who is constantly rubbing betel leaves on his bald head and then chews, spits and asks for a fight.

We saw Mumait Khan's hoardings and tall posters in 'Mangatayaru Tiffin Centre'. Here all Raghubabu does is to cover the semi clad Mumait's posters with saree and blouse giving her a semblance of dignity. There are other comedians as well whose job is to shriek, over act, get drunk and give you an additional headache.

Finally:
The entire fights, dialogues is nothing but a farce. No scene connects with the audience and no duet gives you a deviation. There is nothing in the film that recommends viewing
