For a story that’s about a common man’s revenge, the film is thankfully not serious and mostly works as a light-hearted take on rage and masculinity. Even though a remake, Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya has its own charm and works beautifully because it adapts the story to the rural Telugu setting quite convincingly. It is also well aided by the overall good performances of the supporting cast, especially the likes of veteran actor Naresh (who is unbelievably good) and others like Suhas and newbie Roopa Koduvayur.Read at source

Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya
Uma Maheswara Rao is a small-time photographer who lives with his father, Manohar Rao. They run the digital photography Bhavana Studio in the Prakash region of Araku in Andhra Pradesh. Next to the studio is a bone-setting shop owned by Mahesh's good friend, Babji. His assistant is Korra Suhas, who came to Babji, to learn about the study of traditional bone-setting. Mahesh is in a relationship with Swati, his high-school sweetheart. Babji becomes involved in a trivial argument with a loafer in the centre of the village. The dispute escalates, but passersby calm them down. However, Suhas appears and attacks the man who had argued with Babji. The man, joined by Joginath, jumps on Suhas in retaliation. Noticing the commotion, Mahesh tries to calm everyone down but Jogi, furious at Mahesh's authoritative stance, beats him up. Manohar breaks up the fight. Embarrassed, Mahesh vows to get back at Jogi and pledges that he will wear slippers only after he has avenged his humiliation. Swati is forced to end her relationship with Mahesh and marry a nurse residing in Canada. He learns about Jogi's whereabouts from Suhas and visits the garage where he apparently works as a welder. Its owner tells him that Jogi left for a better job in Dubai. Despite Babji's advice that he should forget the incident, Mahesh resolves to wait for Jogi's return; several weeks later, he enrolls in a kung fu course. Jyothi, a young college student, goes to Bhavana Studio.
