He befriends his co-passenger Aparna, who introduces him to her father Ramineedu and the latter vows to help him sell his land unmindful of the fact that Ramu is the son of Raghava Rao.

Theorizing that the presence of relatives will rescue him from being killed, Ramu plots to have them stay for a longer time that will make his plans to escape possible and upon learning that Srikanth's parents strongly want him to marry Aparna when they put forth the discussion in front of Ramineedu, Ramu persuades Srikanth to marry Aparna and convinces Srikanth's father to arrange the wedding the very next day so that their wedding would desist the relatives from leaving.

To lure Ramu out of the residence, Ramineedu arranges for the engagement ceremony to take place at the temple.

Before he could do so, Mallasuri gets impatient and takes Ramu to the penthouse intending to kill him without informing his father and Baireddy.

Aparna meets Ramu and tells him the way out of the village but he resists her from coming with him making her aware that he doesn't reciprocate his feelings and was trying to save his own life.

[16][17] Raghu Chaitanya from CNN-IBN said "The climax is perhaps the only drawback in the entire movie as the director opts to take the clichéd path of emotions and love.

Sunil perfectly fits the bill as the innocent guy who comes back to sell his land and make money [...] SS Rajamouli emerges a winner showing that he can make good movies without huge budgets and big star cast.

However, a well-designed set, great cinematography and mellifluous tunes by Keeravani takes this comic caper to a different plane.

"[19] Sify which gave a verdict as "Worth a watch" further noted "Sunil would no longer look like a comedy hero.

[23] The film collected a share of ₹10.58 crore (US$1.2 million) (after tax and theatre rentals) within 7 days in India.
