Potugaadu (2013)

Govindu (Manoj) is a young fellow who decides to commit suicide. He goes to a lonely spot and decides to have one last drink. At about the same time, Venkata Rathnam (Posani Krishna Murali) also comes to the same spot to commit suicide. The two of them sit down for a chat to find out more about their respective life stories.

Govindu has four love stories to narrate. First up is his romantic track with Vaidehi (Simran Kaur), the daughter of a rich Brahmin guy. After a brief courtship, the love story fails because Vaidehi’s father is against the alliance. Govindu moves on in life and this is where the second love story begins. He falls in love with Mumtaz (Sakshi Choudhary) and romance blossoms between them. But Govindu throws away everything in a drunken stupor, where he makes some derogatory comments about Mumtaz.

Next up is a love story with a foreign lady named Stacy (Rachel). As expected, this story also fails. The last and final love story belongs to Govindu and Mary (Anupriya). For the first time in his life, Govindu experiences true love. He fully reforms himself and leads a normal life. But fate has other ideas. A shocking truth about Mary is revealed and Govindu is heartbroken.

This is what compels him to attempt suicide. Venkat Rathnam is moved by Govindu’s story. But this is not the end. The story comes full circle when something unexpected happens towards the closing stages.

What is that? Will Govindu find true love? That forms the story of ‘Potugadu’.

Operation Duryodhana 2 (2013)

Chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy dies in a helicopter crash. A senior minister in the cabinet takes it for granted that he would be the next natural choice and even accepts felicitations from his partymen. He is in for a shock when someone who has not even been a minister is nominated by the party high command to occupy the CM's chair.

Home minister Venkatadri (Kota Srinivasa Rao) tries to get the chief minister into trouble. Caught with Rs 500 crore black money, the driver of the ambulance in which the money is being transported tells the police that it is chief minister Erasu's money. Erasu is keen that the truth should come out.

With a sniper in hand, locking himself up in a room in a huge complex, looking through a tele lens, the man who is supposed to get the crooks on their knees, is up to his game. The target is Krishna (Posani Krishnamurali). Well, the man is as funny as he can be. He is the link to a hawala agent.

Jagapathi Babu as CBI officer Ashok goes about his job in a planned manner, literally freezing Krishna to death in a public telephone booth. Krishna spills the beans about who the Rs 500 crore black money belonged to and how the senior minister had stuffed away as much as Rs 45,000 crore in Swiss banks. The chief minister is relieved that the truth has been brought out. Coming out with a `clean' tag.
