‘Sharathulu Varthisthai’ (conditions apply) is a disclaimer in the fine print that we often do not pay attention to. The disclaimer can give scamsters a window to loot the gullible. What if a common man says enough is enough and decides to make scamsters accountable? Director Kumara Swamy, who has co-written this Telugu film with Peddinti Ashok Kumar, narrates a story based on true incidents. The lower middle-class setting in Karimnagar, the Telangana dialect and some of the performances, especially that of Chaitanya Rao, lend authenticity to the narrative but, despite its good intentions, the film ends up as a generic drama.
As the title credits roll, we hear conversations and an unexpected turn of events that hint crime. One of the brief scenes in the initial portions also underlines the political aspirations of one character and the goodwill earned by another character who is a basti leader.
