== Plot ==<br />
Govindarajulu is a construction worker who drinks a lot and lives a carefree life. On the other hand, his son Siddartha is a popular TV show host and a very disciplined man — the opposite of his father. Siddhu gets Govindu married to Shanti to sober him.<br />
<br />
Siddhu is in love with Swetha, the daughter of a big-time contractor named Veerendra. Veerendra happens to be a childhood friend of Govindu but currently dislikes him due to his behavior. He agrees to get Swetha married to Siddhu but tells Govindu that for the marriage to take place, he must distance himself from Siddhu because Veerendra does not want to be publicly known as connected to Govindu. Govindu decides to fake kicking Siddhu out of the house to let his son be happy.<br />
<br />
At the engagement, though, Siddhu publicly reveals the condition that Veerendra has given. It is revealed that Govindu's friend had told Siddhu about the condition, and Siddhu walks out of the engagement party with Govindu. When Veerendra complains about his reputation being ruined, Swetha decides to separate Govindu and Siddhu to get revenge. She begs Govindu to forgive her and take her as his daughter-in-law, as she had not known about Veerendra's condition. Govindu says that if Siddhu wants her, then he is willing to have her in the house because he holds no grudge and wants Siddhu to be happy. Siddhu decides that as long as Govindu is happy, he is too, and agrees to marry Swetha.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Govindu has differences with a big-time rowdy contractor named Satti Pehelwan. Swetha moves into the house and starts creating differences between Govindu and Siddhu with the help of her cousin Sathi Babu, but she fails miserably each time. The rest of the film revolves around whether she succeeds in her schemes.<br />

== Reception ==<br />
B. Anuradha of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' wrote "Barring some rib-tickling comedy, the much-hyped ''Andharivadu'' is a huge disappointment as it lacks a good storyline."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Chiranjeevi is good, but Andharivadu disappoints|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/jun/07and.htm|access-date=2021-07-10|website=[[Rediff.com]]|archive-date=10 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210710192411/https://www.rediff.com/movies/2005/jun/07and.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> A reviewer from ''[[Sify]]'' also echoed the same and stated: "There is nothing new as far as presentation goes and on the whole it is a damp squib. A Chiranjeevi film will work only if his larger-than-life image is given a new twist with something freash in treatment and director Seenu Vytla has not been able to provide the necessary punch."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2015-09-24|title=Review : Andarivadu|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/andarivadu-review-telugu-pclvKcfiibagc.html|access-date=2021-07-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924142255/https://www.sify.com/movies/andarivadu-review-telugu-pclvKcfiibagc.html|archive-date=24 September 2015|work=[[Sify]]}}</ref> Jeevi of ''[[Idlebrain.com]]'' rated the film three out of five and wrote that "''Andarivadu'' is definitely worth a watch for Govindarajulu character".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-andarivadu.html|title=Movie review - Andarivadu|date=4 June 2005|work=[[Idlebrain.com]]|access-date=10 May 2024}}</ref><br />
