Budget Padmanabham (2001)

Most of Jagapati Babu's movies are family formulas . Tired of revenge and loud fights before him , The Telugu audience took to his social dramas very well . Jagapati Babu is very stingy when it comes to money . he marires Ramya Krishna so that he gets double income . she too is working in his company. Nothing much is shown about her own family back ground . she gives birth to triplets immediatly unwittingly . added to that his sister's family and Ramya's wastrel brother come and pile on to them . There is some misunderstanding involving the new nanny and Jagapati . There is a cute love story entwined in between involving the nanny and Jagapati's boss's son . Im the end due to his persistence all confusions are solved . Ramya is a sultry siren. its difficult to imagine her in a simple middle class role with simple cotton sarees even when she acts well . She is very beautiful even with minimal make up . Jagapati is the back bone of this movie . he acts very well as a single ton saving money to buy back his ancestral house , a tortured soul with a lot of responsibilities , then as a misunderstood husband with no support or help from his spouse and finally as some one r mature who clears all problems between the two new lovers. Y Vijaya lights up the screen as his sister . L B Sriram has a unique dialogue delivery . The honeymoon song between the newly married Jagapati and Ramya merits special mention . its very soft and ashthetic in music and lyrics . Her brother Ravi Teja does what he is best at - innocently prancing around and is very likeable in that role . Vidya and Anil are cute as the couple who are married but have to hide it due to hsi father . Over all its a total family movie . Almost all songs are hummable .
