Chitralahari 2019

Vijay Krishna, portrayed by Sai Durgha Tej, is an engineering graduate grappling with the label of being a “loser” due to his perpetual bad luck and poor social skills. His life is marked by misunderstandings and rejections from most around him, but he finds steadfast support in his father, Posani Krishna Murali, who stands by him through thick and thin. Despite being perceived as socially awkward, Vijay possesses a sharp intellect and a compelling vision for creating an app designed to assist individuals in road accidents, and he actively seeks investors to bring his idea to fruition.

Complicating his life further, Vijay is in a relationship with Lahari, but he conceals a significant truth from her: he claims he doesn’t drink, while frequently visiting bars to drink with his friend Mike, a writer with whom he shares a unique bond as “Glassmates.” Moreover, he keeps his part-time job at a TV repair shop under wraps and only hints at working on a mysterious project instead.

The narrative takes a turn when Vijay decides to pitch his app concept to Janardhan, an executive whose dismissive attitude and insults force Vijay to assert himself publicly, challenging Janardhan’s perspective with confidence. This confrontation, however, leads to unforeseen repercussions as Lahari, with help from her misandrist friend Nivetha Pethuraj (playing Swecha), uncovers Vijay’s hidden truths. Shocked by his deception, she decides to end their relationship. Nevertheless, Swecha surprises him by showing faith in his potential, taking him to Mumbai, where they stay with Vennela Kishore. Kishore, misinterpreting the dynamics, refers to Swecha as “sister,” further complicating their interactions.

As the duo works tirelessly to launch Vijay’s project, they encounter obstacles when Janardhan sabotages their efforts yet again. Frustrated and feeling inadequate, Vijay contemplates abandoning his aspirations. Before leaving Mumbai, he learns that Lahari and Swecha are now friends, leading him to confront Lahari about the breakup, asserting that it wasn’t her choice to make.

Determined to prove his app’s worth, Vijay devises a plan that involves staging an accident to demonstrate the effectiveness of his invention. This risky maneuver lands him in court, where he faces accusations of being reckless in his quest for fame with the app. The public prosecutor relentlessly challenges him, but during the court proceedings, an unexpected moment occurs when Lahari openly professes her unconditional love for him. Ultimately, the judge grants Vijay the opportunity to follow his dreams, marking a pivotal moment in his tumultuous journey.
