A Kittu upset, gets drunk and Manikyam reached the house and threatened to kill her daughter Nandeswari (Regina)Moving a bit in the flashback, Nadeswari is extremely upset with his father for fixing her marriage without her permission. She confronts her father and reveals his opinion. Just at that moment, Sundeep Kishan began threatening her money and kidnaps Nandeswari. As she is not interested in marriage, even she luckily escaped with Kittu.As both keep running away from Manikkyam, a cute love story starts to develop between the two. When things seem happy and settled, Nandeswari is again removed by Jaggu (Jagapathi Babu).
Who is Jaggu? Why did he Nandeswari Kidnap? What will Kittu do now? For answers to all these questions, you need to watch the movie on the big screen.

Plus Points: -

The first half of the filmis a major advantage. It has some cute romantic moments with entertaining comedy. Again, Sundeep Kishan chemistry with Regina is first class. Both of them share a good atmosphere and that shows on the screen.Sundeep Kishan has upped his game and screen presence with this film. He looks much ease and perfectly carries his role. He minimizes his character so well and allows Regina to continue with its dominant character precisely.Regina is the highlight of the film. It has a dominant character and did a great job. She look glamorous and director etched his character of a lively and entertaining way.
Again Jagapathi Babu made a sincere work in the film, but could not be used completely. More on that later. Film songs are definitely a highlight. All were shot and executed well.
Ramesh Tagubothu entertains you decently in the first half. Ravi Babu, Brahmaji and Satyam Rajesh doing their bit.

Minus Points: -

Although Jagapathi Babu did an excellent job in his role, the director could not use it properly. The elevation required and the depth of his character is absent from the film.
Just when you see the entrance to JB await impatiently a power packed performance. Even if he is good in some comedy situations, the tempo is ever built during his stay.After a promising first half, second half slides down drastically. Just after the break, first 15 minutes is a bit disappointing. Sundeep Kishan has nothing to do. Too many characters continue to come in and out of the film which makes it tedious film.Yet another drawback in the second half or the love track between Regina and Sundeep or the link between the two brothers is treated properly.Climax is cliche and nothing special in it. The lock on the widely publicized lip is almost OK, and do not seem sensual.

Technical aspects:-

Ra Ra Krishnayya is high on the technical aspects. A special word of mention is the camera work. The visuals in the film look absolutely beautiful. The production values are high, and how the entire film was shot looks very good.As said before, the music Acchu is also a major asset. All the songs are very good and were also shot well. Dialogues are correct and have been written well.Director Mahesh Babu is quite OK with his first film. It runs the first half very well, and extract good performance from its star cast. But as said earlier, it goes off the track in the second half and try to add too many commercial elements.film script is good enough in the first half, but could have less withe some scenes in the second.

Verdict:-

Overall, Ra Ra Krishnayya essentially functions in the parts. After an interesting and engaging first half, the second half slightly disappoint you. If you go into this film without much expectations, you might also Sundeep Kishan and sizzling chemistry of Regina and beautiful songs.
