Sodara Sodarimanulara" movie starring Kamal Kamaraju and Aparna Devi has grabbed attention with the promotional content of the film. The film also features Kalakeya Prabhakar and Prithviraj in key roles.

Story: Raju (Kamal Kamaraju) is the middle class family man who leads a struggling life as a Cab Driver. Sravani (Aparna Devi) is Raju's wife who takes care of the family. Raju is fond of her daughter and wants to spend a quality time with her whenever he has. All of a sudden Raju is falsely accused of a major crime by CI (Kalakeya Prabhakar), and is forced to prove his innocence to both, a brutal police force and a divided society for unknown dropping of a passenger in a Resort at mid night time.

Raju's innocence will close all the doors due to the Minister's (Prithviraj) political influence. How Raju comes out of this case? Does he really attempted any crime is the main crux of the story. Performances: Kamal Kamaraju did his best in the role Cab Driver Raju and delivers the emotional performance at his best. Aparna Devi as Sravani justifies her role with impressive acting skills. Kalakeya Prabhakar does his best as a terrific cop with the negative shades. Veteran Actor Prithviraj is okay with his role.

It is based on the real events that happen in the society. It is rare to see a film that not only entertains but awakens the society with an idea. For the first time such an attempt was made by director Raghupathi Reddy. Coming from a socially aware family,He drew closer to reality by linking the police system to the political system in the society.

Also, Kamal Kamaraju played the role of an innocent cab driver Raju. Shravani (Aparnadevi) who played the wife of Raju did the same. The couple on screen is very cute. As the Home Minister, senior actor Pridvi impressed in a negative shade. Baahubali Prabhakar gave a good performance as C. I Bhaskar.

A Cab Driver Life
gundaraghupathireddy19 September 2023
This story abt cab driver.. How he trapped by power politics Emotional narration Must watch 💯 Kamal kamaraju played as cab driver Aparna Devi played his wife role A cabbie named Raju (Kamal Kamaraju) is mired in debt. He has to repay the loan he had taken to buy his cab. A shocking crime takes place when Raju ferries a customer to a resort in Hyderabad. CI Bhaskar ('Baahubali' Prabhakar) and a self-obsessed politician (Prithviraj as a Minister) are out to implicate him. How the false case shatters the peace of Raju and his doting wife Shravani (Aparna Devi) and whether Raju manages to absolve himself forms the crux of the story.

Analysis:

Director Raghupathi Reddy Gunda shows sensitivity in handling the subject that doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator. He keeps the conversations and situations as realistic as possible. When it comes to portraying true-to-life situations and putting the characters in difficult circumstances, some directors get carried away. But that doesn't happen in the case of Sodara Sodarimanulara.

The twist that comes at the interval stands out for being organic. The writing department doesn't flounder in narrating such turns with care. The deeply entrenched malaise in the system and the unholy nexus between politicians and the police department have been shown well.

When the story arc doesn't do the talking, some unexpected elements deliver goods. As a result, the film stays its course despite some obvious demerits like the sluggish pace.

It's story about lower middle class people who suffers from system.
