Pilla Zamindar a.k.a PJ (Nani) is the heir of a wealthy ‘Jamindar’. PJ is an irresponsible youngster. To bring him on track, his grandfather writes a will by which PJ will inherit his entire wealth only if he completes his graduation as a common man without any luxuries. The rest of the story is all about how PJ learns about values in life as he completes his graduation.
Trade
The movie seems to have heavily inspired from a Korean film (A Millionaire's First Love, 2006). The movie is too good in dialogues and drama. It also earned Nani a good name as an actor. The movie is an average grosser at box office.
Highlights
This was the first combination of Nani and Hari Priya. Hari Priya later slowly disappeared in to horizon.
Bindu Madhavi played a special role as Nani’s friend in the movie.
“Pilla Jamindar” is the second movie of director Ashok. His first movie, “Aakaasa Raamanna” was a disaster. He is currently venturing “Sukumarudu” starring Aadi and Nisha Agarwal.
Sidelights
The movie shooting was hampered due to the Film industry strike as the film employees association announced noncooperation demanding hike in their wages.
It was alleged that Nani had troubled the makers so much by allocating the dates of “Pilla Jamindar” to “Eega” movie.
