Jamba Lakidi Pamba is a 1993 Indian Telugu-language fantasy comedy film written and directed by E. V. V. Satyanarayana.
The film explores feminism and women's rights in a light-hearted manner and depicts the consequences when the male and female genders are reversed.
EVV took the basic theme of Sulochana's play and his old story and developed it into the script of Jamba Lakidi Pamba.
[5] In Vizag, Ramalakshmi is deeply disturbed by the problems faced by all the women in their colony while their husbands happily enjoy playing cards and dominating their wives.
In that letter, an anonymous asks her to come to an isolated place in the Borra caves if she wants to solve the problems faced by women.
Her disciple Chidambarananda Swami hands over the herb to Ramalakshmi, asking her to mix that in the drinking water supply to see its effect.
She plans to make him drink water mixed with the herb but she is tricked by Vijay who behaves like a woman and marries her.
Before she gains her conscience, Vijay and Nagulu enact a drama to trick her into believing that she has gone into the future (the year 2092) and make her reveal the secret about Jamba Lakidi Pamba.
Chidambarananda has a final antidote called Pamba Jamba Lamba Lakidi but before they take it from him, he is kidnapped by Thutala Rani with the help of Ramalakshmi.
When all the people become mad, they chase them to the den of Thutala Rani, where they find Chidambarananda and make him prepare the antidote.
EVV conceptualized the story of men becoming women and vice versa while working under Jandhyala as an assistant director.
Initially titled as Reverse Gear, the film was later renamed to Jamba Lakidi Pamba as the makers felt that the former might be taken in a negative way.
