Plot

Veera Narasimha Naidu (Prabhu) is a faction leader in Kurnool, who raised his sister Saraswati (Seetha) with love and affection to make her forget the loss of their mother. During the marriage time, she eloped with Basha (Suman), whom she loved, which led the death of their father. Thus enraged, Narasimha Naidu cuts the leg of Basha, which created a rift between the two families. On a case to win the property belonging to Saraswati, Basha wins the case on Narasimha Naidu after a long gap of 25 years. Seeing the sorrow of Saraswati, her son Sulaiman (Vishnu Manchu) vows to unite the two families and waits for a situation.

Meanwhile, on a suggestion by Sampangi Sastry (M. S. Narayana), Narasimha Naidu appoints his man Bangarraju (Brahmanandam) to find a great scholar to perform a Mahachandi Yagam. He contacts Agnihotra Narasimha Sastry (Amanchi Venkata Subrahmanyam) but as he was unavailable, he goes to the college where Krishna Sastry (Samrat Reddy), the son of Narasimha Sastry studies. Krishna Sastry, in a fit of rage (as his love interest Aparna is close to Sulaiman), shows Sulaiman to Bangarraju and tells him that he is Krishna Sastry, but prefers to be called Sulaiman. Though initially he refuses to accept, Sulaiman accepts that he is Krishna Sastry as this would be a golden chance to unite the two families. He, along with his friend David (Vennela Kishore) and a group of Brahmins (Played by Dharmavarapu Subramanyam, Master Bharath, Raghava, Kadambari Kiran, Ananth and others) goes to the palace of Narasimha Naidu.

There he manages to act well, only to be noticed by Sharmila (Hansika Motwani), the daughter of Narasimha Naidu. Though she tries to make his true colours screened (i.e. he is not a scholar), he escapes by his wit and timing. In an unexpected situation, Bangarraju visits Krishna Sastry's home to pay Sambhavana, but shockingly he finds out the truth that Sulaiman is acting as Krishna Sastry. Having a fear of getting murdered by Narasimha Naidu, he discloses the facts and wants the Yagam to be completed as soon as possible. Sulaiman, though interested in Sharmila, finds his mother's wish very important and starts playing various plans to intimate feelings on Saraswati in Narasimha Naidu's heart, but all goes in vain. Meanwhile, Narasimha Naidu's opponent Rudrama Naidu (Kota Srinivasa Rao) attacks Sharmila and Sulaiman saves her. Sharmila falls for him and Narasimha Naidu feels that the attack was done by Basha.

Now for Sulaiman, things go much worse as Aparna (The daughter of Bangarraju and the girl who is loved by Krishna Sastry) returns to the palace, proposes to him, and warns him that if he refuses to love her, she would reveal the secret. Meanwhile Sampangi Sastry, who is in deep frustration as Bangarraju made him not perform the Yagam, wants to take revenge on him. Sulaiman plays a very clever game to hide his skin playing with the weaknesses of everyone (For example, Sulaiman calls to Bangarraju and introduces himself as Prabhas, a Telugu actor and is in love with Aparna. Poor Aparna believes it and makes her focus shifted from Sulaiman to Prabhas, which later comes to the knowledge of Bangarraju that Sulaiman acted as Prabhas etc.). Everything goes smooth till Sharmila tells about her proposal of marriage with Krishna Sastry to her dad and her dad sends his brothers to talk with Krishna's Parents. Sulaiman reveals his identity to Sharmila and sets to Krishna Sastry's House. There too he plays a game with the weaknesses of Krishna Sastry's mother so that she would refer Sulaiman as her son before Narasimha Naidu's brothers. Things get on the right path and marriage planning activities are done in full swing.

Rudrama Naidu's son wants to marry Sharmila so that he can torture her to the core. This plan disturbs him and Rudrama Naidu threatens Narasimha Sastry to leave her or else his son aka Krishna Sastry would be killed. Thus Narasimha Sastry summons Krishna Sastry and finds that he neither loved Sharmila nor performed the Yagam. Sulaiman enters the scene, plays a game again, forces Narasimha Sastry to misrepresent Sulaiman as Krishna Sastry at that place. Sulaiman makes Narasimha Naidu to invite Saraswati for the marriage and Basha says that he would come to the marriage only for Sharmila. Thus when the family along with Sulaiman visits the temple, Rudrama Naidu attacks Narasimha Naidu's family and Sulaiman makes a call to Basha that he is attacked. Basha reaches there with his men and in an emotional juncture, he saves Nrasimha Naidu's family and Nrasimha Naidu saves Saraswati. After knowing the truth that Sulaiman acted as Krishna Sastry, he asks about the reason for the fraud and Sulaiman tells him that it was to unite the two families. Thus the two families unite and Sulaiman marries Sharmila.

Exclusively for the songs the crew went to Bangkok and shot the songs in the most beautiful locations which are apt for the songs. Another large portion was filmed in Tirupathi for the want of the village environment & serenity. A parody song was shot with all the characters in the movie in the sets of Manikonda Hyderabad.

Release

The film received U/A certificate from censor board and is planned to be released in October 2012.[12] After the grand audio release in Malayalam with the eminent and tall figures from the Kolliwood are scheduled to appear for the fabulous audio launch of Denikaina Ready.[13] The film’s formal censor certificate is not issued by the board due to its highly objectionable matter. Apparently, the movie hurts the sentiments of Brahmin communities. Many of them have gone to court against the producers of the film. This has upset the release plans of the movie. "It is blackmail, what the censor member is doing", said a very livid Mohan Babu. Vishnu Manchu also took to Twitter and said "Ridiculous how the respected member is harassing. This is pure blackmail. I am going to fight this and will not let her stop my film".[14] The movie’s censor issues have been resolved after the revising committee cleared the movie with some major objections and the film was released on 24 October 2012.[15]

Casting

Jr. NTR was rumoured to make a cameo appearance in this film.[16] The audio release of this film was held on 23 September. Prabhas has dubbed for few dialogues for Vishnu Manchu in this film.[17] The film hit the screens in October 2012.[18]

Controversy

In this film, Brahmins are shown eating chicken Haleem and chicken chops, and a married brahmin woman commenting that any male touch reminded of her husband, which caused friction among the community. Brahmin organizations protested against the film makers and reached Mohan Babu's house. The protesters were indiscriminately beaten with sticks,[19] which led to further retaliation by Brahmins who threw shoes on Vishnu's car.[20] Mohan Babu commented on the protesters saying "Those who protested in front of my house are not real Brahmans and they are all blackmailers and they might have come for some money" which further irked the Brahmin community.

Based on a local court's directive, the Malkajgiri police booked cases against actors M. Mohan Babu, M. Vishnu, and director G. Nageswar Reddy for portraying Brahmins in a poor light. A student from Malkajgiri, G. Pavan Kumar, filed a petition in the court urging it to direct police to book cases against the producer, director and lead actors of Denikaina Ready for insulting the Brahmin community.[21] Writer of the movie BVS Ravi has given a public apology through ABN channel for hurting the Brahmin community unintentionally.

Censor board of Andhra Pradesh has not issued the censor certificate for this movie as it wanted the producers of the film to remove some controversial scenes. However, the producers of the film went ahead and obtained the certificate from the censor board in Mumbai.

Critical reception

Mahesh Koneru of 123telugu.com gave a review of rating 3.5/5 stating "Overall, you will walk out of the theater happy. Denikaina Ready is a good, time pass entertainer that makes for a nice holiday watch."[25] Jeevi of idlebrain.com gave a review of 3.25/5 stating "Denikaina Ready is a comedy film with an underlying sentiment. Interval twist is interesting. The director has succeeded in creating a typical Priyadarshan type of satire of mistaken identities. The plus points of the film are Vishnu - Brahmanandam comedy. On the flip side, the story depends on the cliched aspect of Rayalaseema faction wars. On a whole, Denikaina Ready has enough ingredients to work at box office.[26] Super Good Movies gave a review of rating 3/5 stating "A Good Entertainer from Vishnu, Brahmanandam Combination. You must watch."[27] zimbio.com gave a review stating "Denikaina Ready good entertainer. Go enjoy it !!"[28] apherald gave a review of rating 3.75/5 stating "Hliarious movie. Songs could have been better composed."[29] telugu.way2movies.com gave a review of rating 3/5 stating the film to be a "High on Entertainment!!!".[30] mirchi9.com gave a review stating "Denikaina Ready is a very good comedy entertainer which can be watched along with your family and friends in this holiday season."[31] Sify.com gave a review of rating 3/5 stating "Denikaina Ready is a time pass flick. Although it runs with formula comedy scenes, it also has some genuine comedy sequences and the film moves on with regular doses of laughs."[32] This got a wide release in more than 300 plus centers and got a 100-day run in 8 centers and a 175-day run in 1 center.[33]
