A neighbour lectures the father-loathing Mahesh about the sacrifices made by his father, and voila, he is transformed into a loving son. Instead of setting up situations that answer these questions interestingly, the show packs the resolutions into one big lecture about the sacrifice made by parents to raise their kids. To what extent will Mahesh go to pay off the loan? What is the consequence of waiting around finding your passion? How will a homemaker, unaware of the world outside, make money? Can parents have dreams of their own?
This premise has the potential to open up a number of interesting questions. What the family goes through while trying to pay off this loan and what that does to Mahesh makes the rest of the show. His happy-go-lucky life is rudely disrupted when his father, Haridas (Naresh), passes away suddenly and a loan that he took falls on the family’s head. Yet, he never actively does anything to achieve that (except of course, waiting on the terrace everyday to stare at her). His life’s mission is to marry his neighbour Keerthy (Simran Sharma). Most of all, he feels entitled to all of this. He hangs around the house or the local pan shop, has no interest in finding a job and likes to be handed things on a silver platter. In Indra, he spoke out against factionalism in Rayalaseema and in a subsequent film Tagore, his fight was against corruption.The show begins by introducing Mahesh (Sangeeth Shobhan) as an unambitious, B.Tech failing, jobless son about whom his father is worried. In Stalin Chiranjeevi is an ex-armymen who spreads the message that people should help each other. The actor did not respond positively but neither has he come out openly anytime to firmly say that he would not enter politics. At a film function last year, Union minister Dasari Narayana Rao openly suggested that Chiranjeevi should join politics. Sources close to the actor said leaders from various political parties have been in touch with him. Ashwini Dutt's loss at the hustings could have meant a loss of face to Chiranjeevi but the actor strategically stayed away from going to the constituency to campaign for Dutt. In fact, it was Chiranjeevi himself who put in a word to TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu to give Ashwini Dutt a party ticket. During the last general elections in 2004, Chiranjeevi openly backed producer Ashwini Dutt who contested the Vijayawada Lok Sabha seat. In recent years, speculation about his entry into politics has increased because of his public service activities like blood donation and eye donation thorough his charitable trust. One cannot say anything about the future at this juncture". Whenever quizzed directly if he would make a foray into politics, Chiranjeevi has always given the same reply: "I have no such plans. The most discussed aspect of the film Indra released in 2002, was the tagline - "Born for the people". This is not the first time that Chiranjeevi has tried to portray such an image.
Even the tagline that the title of the film has been given - "Man for the society" - suggests that the actor may have made efforts to project a particular image of himself in this home production film. Again in the climax of the movie, Sunil once again says about Chiranjeevi: "Padhi kotla gundelu sontham chesukunna gunde (10 crore hearts of the state belong to Chiranjeevi). Taking pride in that, Sarada makes the heavily loaded political statement. Sarada goes shopping to a supermarket and Sunil, a friend of her son, points out to a girl (Trisha) and says a girl who resembles her is in love with Chiranjeevi. What makes this dialogue interesting is the fact that these words are spoken completely out of context. It comes out in the most glaring manner in the words of his mother in the movie, played by Sarada, who says: "Vaadu Rajakeeyalaloki vasthe, anni pakshamulu vaddi pakshame (If my son were to enter politics, all political groups will support only him)". The megastar, who plays the lead role, does not himself say anything but enough hints to this effect are dropped by co-stars. Though the star himself has consistently denied that he is interested in politics, his latest home production Stalin, which opened to packed houses on Wednesday, perhaps is an indicator of Chiranjeevi's inclination. HYDERABAD: For long there have been speculations on the likelihood of megastar Chiranjeevi taking up a more active role in public life.
