Srinu (Nikhil) is a happy go lucky guy. He falls in love with Meghana (Pooja Bose) and tries desperately to get a positive response from her. But Meghana’s father Durga (Suman) is in jail and his opponent Shankar (Sayaji Shinde) is after Meghana. Now how Srinu rescues her from Shankar and win her love forms rest of the story.
Performances:
Nikhil tries to imitate Raviteja yet again, but failed to be as entertaining as his mentor. He should learn to act as he hardly emotes except putting faces. His dances and fights are good though. Pooja Bose doesn’t know to act. Ali, Raghubabu, Master Bharath and Venu Madhav are mildly entertaining and MS Narayana leads the pack. Suman and Sayaji Shinde are alright in their roles. Rest of the star cast did their bit.
Drawbacks:
First half of the film is a bit lengthy and interval point is very predictable. Director deals the rest of the story in a comical way by introducing various comedians at various points in the film. MS Narayana does his ‘Dookudu’ mimic stunt yet again. This time he imitates Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu in addition to Balakrishna and Rajinikanth.
However, the film ends on an abrupt note and there is nothing to carry home. Songs are pretty bad and there is no freshness in the film whatsoever. Mass audience might enjoy the film for its extra dose of comedy. All the comedians in the film ably shouldered it. If the director has come out with fresh scenes and has written fresh comedic lines, it should have ended up as a real commercial entertainer. Now it will only appeal to lower sections of audience and classes who look for healthy comedy may disown it completely.

Analysis:
Veedu Theda is a routine fare in which the director tries to keep the audience entertained all the time. There is no freshness in the subject and the screenplay goes haywire. Only plus point is there are loads of comedians all over the film and they don’t let the film go down.First half of the film is a bit lengthy and interval point is very predictable. Director deals the rest of the story in a comical way by introducing various comedians at various points in the film. MS Narayana does his ‘Dookudu’ mimic stunt yet again.

Finally: Good start, poor end..!!!
