Plot
20 years ago the family of Ravi Babu (Rao Ramesh) and his brother in law (Suman) split. Santosh (Naga Shaurya), the son of Suman who loves his Ammamma Seetha Maha Lakshmi (Sumithra) very much, makes it his personal mission to bring the family closer in 20 days. At the same time, Seetha Maha Lakshmi decides to distribute her property, and invites all the family members to her village.
The Times of India gave the film two and a half stars out of five and wrote: "Go watch this one this weekend if you cherished the memories you made at ammamma’s home during the summers. But if real life holds enough family politics for you, give this one a cold hard miss".[3]The Hindu noted that "With lazy acting by everybody and poor story development, there is no high point in the film and not a single scene that makes for a compelling watch".[4]
In 2019, the film was dubbed into Hindi as Naani Maa. The Hindi version saw a positive response as the film reached 11 million views in two days and was ranked number two on trending.[5]
