Ganesh (Sunil) is an over smart jobless jack messing up the lives of people who help him. As soon as he comes to Vizag city Ganesh falls in love with Sahasra (Mannara Chopra), the sister of the biggest goon of Vizag city - Bairagi (Kabir Khan). Bairagi maintains a low profile that only couple of people know his true identity. Both Ganesh and Bairagi’s foes are in hunt of Bairagi but for different reasons. And right when Bairagi is attacked, Ganesh saves him just because Bairagi helped him once. What is that help and how did Ganesh mess up Bairagi’s life forms the rest of the story. (yippie...finally figured out Jakkanna’s plot.
Analysis:
How does it feel like if we fill up this section with some comic punches, satires and counters without any analysis? (that’s exactly how we feel like watching Jakkanna).
We know Sunil is a good comedian and we also know he is trying his level best to entertain us with some comedy films. But the thumb rule is pretty simple –only a good story with an entertaining narration is the winner.
A hero with a weakness and the corresponding consequences are the source of comedy – looks like Jakanna started off here and completely lost his way. An over smart hero trying to fool a dumb villain with a bunch of other comedians (4 songs and 2 fights extra) – this is all about Jakkanna. Given such a storyline, strong comedy content with an equally good progression of story can save you. And as we know comedy isn’t all about a set of contemporary punch lines and couple of spoofs.
Ok…if this is too much to ask for, the film ought to have few hilarious scenes to ace the test. But the film survives on Saptagiri and Prithvi comedy. While Sunil and Saptagiri share the responsibility in the first half, they get some help in the form of Prithvi in the second half. However as the second half passes,things don’t get better either and that is when the director finally felt like concluding the nonsensical drama with an emotional connect (that suddenly drops from the heavens).
Merits:

- Mannara Chopra comedy
