Captain Rao (Mohan Babu) stays in the opposite house. He is an old-fashioned man who hates the lifestyle of new generation. Sravya (Taapsee Pannu) is an NRI girl who stays in Rao's house, as Rao is a friend of her father (Suman). She is in India to do a documentary on traditional Telugu music. Balu acts ae to her and in the process, they fall in love. Rao does not like them falling in love with each other.

Reception

[edit]

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "In short, Jhummandi Naadam has a stereotypical story. View it if you are an avid watcher of KRR's films".^[3] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "On a whole, Jhummandi Naadam is a film that has something for every kind of audience".^[4] A critic from 123telugu wrote that "A lullaby song, a classical song, a Sankranthi song, a marriage song, a usual Raghavendra Rao song, a folk song and then a patriotic song – we have all seen each kind of song in different situations and different films. But to see them all in one film, and then get some laugh out loud situations guarantees a thorough and wholesome entertainment".^[5]
