Post Master ah!
Halasyam is an popular elderly man in the village and when he dies of natural causes, his elderly son finds him with a hard on problem. Along with his younger brother, he tries to covering this issue which is standing tall. However, they find it difficult to hide it from a nosy neighbor as well as an auto rickshaw driver. How does the whole family tries their best to cover up the embarrassing situation until the funeral, forms rest of the story.
The simple plot could have been a short film at best is dragged into feature length film and it gets evident in the initial 15mins itself as the jokes started getting repetitive and stretched. The performances especially by Sunil Reddy as the elderly son, tried to carry the jokes but the writing allows him only such much to work with. It's an unique concept and the attempt is to create genuine laughs but stretching this into a 2hr film is where the writers falter despite it being a remake. This is mainly due to the supporting characters being reduced to caricatures and they remain as predictable as they could get. Even the one liners fall flat and the half hearted attempt at l comedy with post-martem being responded to as post master-ah, doesn't help much to the proceedings.
