But Kurupayya (Rangayana Raghu) joins hands with politicians and officials and tries to brainwash people to sell their land for a huge amount.Police atrocities and laati charges on villagers force Hoovaiah to fight a lone battle against land acquisition.

The third daughter although is illiterate is shown as well educated when it comes to human values.
The tough Mother played by Suhasini depicts character of a rural household hardworking wife with all the knowledge given by her folk customs. The main story revolves around Hoovaiah fighting for the preservation of his motherland and culture and showing people that money in fact is just a cover of illusion when it means to earn them by selling their own Aatma or Self.
Overall the movie revolves round the man who tries to get everyone into him as he grows his thoughts whenever he is faced with a challenge, but in the meanwhile he has to avoid his own saplings of frgrance somewhere on the way, and also lose some , but spreading his heart he not only wins over others but also with his own self and limitations.
The movie will also be remembered for being one of very rare commercial movies which geniunely tries to address the problems of farmers such as unjudicial exploitation of cultivating lands by globalised companies.
The character played by 'Vishnuvardhan' would also be the best in his film career next to that of "Mutthina Haara".

The Completeness
It shows the everlasting marriage customs of Indian culture crafted with a small incidence taking place between husband and wife wherein Hoovaiah Vishnuvardhan tries to catch a Chitte or butterfly unsuccessfully throughout the movie which also becomes a metaphor when it comes to their own offsprings.The story also depicts the Indian melodrama of diversity of woman folks. The two daughters who become literate in medium of English - synonymous with globalization and not education pursue their interests and leave their family and motherland as they have to display convictions to their decisions. The third daughter although is illiterate is shown as well educated when it comes to human values.
The tough Mother played by Suhasini depicts character of a rural household hardworking wife with all the knowledge given by her folk customs. The main story revolves around Hoovaiah fighting for the preservation of his motherland and culture and showing people that money in fact is just a cover of illusion when it means to earn them by selling their own Aatma or Self.
The Dialogues
Many dialogues get accolades from audience when- Hoovaiah says to government authorities to take mines kept below 3 inches of soil which will belong to government leaving those 3 inches of soil.

- Ella Maya Naale Neevu Maaya ( from song Jhana Jhana) - which says all are MayaMaya (illusion)Maya , in Indian religions, has multiple meanings, usually quoted as "illusion", centered on the fact that we do not experience the environment itself but rather a projection of it, created by us. Maya is the principal deity that manifests, perpetuates and governs the illusion and dream of duality...
in this world. - Ganigala Dhanigala dibbanadalli bharatha maatheye bettaladalu (from song Jhana Jhana) - which metaphors requirements of corrupt globalized world as a fat bridegroom's arrival making motherland naked.
- Hoovaiah rejects The strong minded tough new generation naxalite Sudeep offering of help and goes with the lawyer showing his faith in Indian constitution- but in return offers him an advice to be treated as given by an elder brother to a younger brother who has lost his way.
- Akka, Nanagyaako bhayavaagtha ide, Nee swalpa olage hogu - Mandya Ramesh, acting as a drunkard in an attempt to save some more falling into the web of urbanization and its attractions tells a coffee shop owner to go inside when some officer comes to inspect Jenu Koppa.
- Nammane Aramane Nammappa Maharaja Nammamma Maharani - showing the small family values and the satisfied members comparing themselves to King and Queen of the institution which comes as a little surprise to most urban blues.
Overall the movie revolves round the man who tries to get everyone into him as he grows his thoughts whenever he is faced with a challenge, but in the meanwhile he has to avoid his own saplings of frgrance somewhere on the way, and also lose some , but spreading his heart he not only wins over others but also with his own self and limitations.
