The movie starts off with showcasing Praveen Jairam aka Pilla Jamindar(Nani) as a spoilt youngster who has a carefree attitude towards life.His grandfather who was once a Jamindar leaves a lot of wealth for him but PJ has to meet with some conditions in order to enjoy the wealth.PJ then starts a journey to a village where he has to complete an under graduate degree leaving behind all the comforts.He is also asked to live in a hostel which is owned by Rajanna (Rao Ramesh) by following the strict rules of the hostel.The rest of the story is all about how PJ turns into a responsible graduate realizing the importance of education and value for money and life.
Nani is a delight to watch in this film.He has grown as an actor from ashta chamma and that shows up very evidently on the screen.He plays a character who has to show the transformation from an irresponsible careless guy to a matured graduate and he showcased that effortlessly.Nani has the boy next door looks and he brings likability to all the characters he plays on screen.He looks good with a toned body in the movie and his dances are energetic too.The female lead Hari priya is good and Bindu Madhavi doesnt have much role to perform.All the guys who played as PJ's friends in the movie have done a good job and a special mention to Dhanraj for his performance.Its good to see Srini Avasarala in a very good character and he does well too.All the other characters are ok.
Most of the movie goes on a humorous note and dialogues by Shekhar chandra are good.The movie was shot on some good locations of local villages and they are captured well by Sai Sriram.Music is not well conceived on screen with exception of "oopiri Aadadu" song which is shot well.The production values of the movie are not that impressive and the movie doesn't looks rich on screen.Screenplay and direction by debutant Ashok G is done well in parts.
The movie starts of on a dull note but picks up once the movie shifts to the village.The first half is filled with ample comedy though the story is routine and predictable.The second half forms the main crux of the story and it looks slow and dragged.I thought the transformation of PJ becoming more responsible was told in a way that was believable and neat.Nani carries the entire movie on his shoulders and he did a good job.The plus points of the movie are Nani,comedy elements in the first half and on the downside a time testing story with dragging second half makes the movie less appealing.On the whole Pilla Jamindar is a decent movie and its a must watch if you like Nani.
