Good
Director EVV Satyanarayana is known for his slapstick comedies. Allari Naresh has proved himself as a comedy hero. So a film in their combination will naturally raise the expectations of the audience. Let us see how far this Kathi Kantha Rao manages to regale the audience.

Story:

Kathi Kantha Rao (Allari Naresh) is a straight forward and honest cop. He is the son of Dharmavarapu a home guard who has been suspended and therefore has no work but to sit idle at home.

Kantha Rao has a host of family problems. He has four sisters. While his two elder sisters are married and his two younger sisters are yet to be married. To make matters worse for him his father imposes a condition that he should not marry till his younger sisters are married.

The other problem for Kantha Rao is that the husbands of his two married sisters Krishna Bhagawan and Srinivas Reddy harass all the time for more gifts and dowry.

While Kantha Rao has promised his dad that he will not marry till his sisters are settled he in fact has already married Kamna Jethmalani secretly.

Kantha Rao manages to find suitable alliances for his younger sisters. At this time Jeeva the boss of Kantha Rao tells the family of the hero that he is already married.

Kantha Rao is now in a fix. The scene now shifts to the native place of the heroine. The heroine�s father Kota is fighting for a local election and it is now up to Kantha Rao to ensure that he defeats his rival Ahuthi Prasad. The rest of the story is predictable.

Performance:

Allari Naresh as usual comes up with another rib tickling performance. He has done such roles many times before but he still manages to evoke laughter film after film. Kamna Jethmalani doesn�t have much to do. Kota is excellent and he gives a good performance. Venu Madhav manages to raise some laughs as the side kick of the hero.

The others from Krishna Bhagawan, Srinivas Reddy, Jeeva, Ahuthi Prasad, Raghu Babu and others add their bit to the film.

Analysis:

Kathi Kantha Rao is yet another routine slap stick comedy. There is not much novelty in the story or the screenplay but the deft handling of EVV and the funny dialogues and situational comedy makes the film fun to watch. EVV manages to churn out a decent comic caper.

Verdict:

Kathi Kantha is set in the city and a village. The movie manages to entertain before as well as the interval. EVV makes fun of politics, films and even cops. The audience is seen having a good laugh every now and then. Kathi Kantha Rao is a decent time pass flick.
