Kobbarikayala Subba Rayudu ([[Allu Ramalingaiah]]) is a self-made millionaire, who after attaining a high status, forgets the people who helped him initially and spends life counting his successes. A chance meeting several years later between his son, Siva ([[Subhalekha Sudhakar]]) and his former friend Ravulapalem Rambhadraiah's ([[Raavi Kondala Rao]]) daughter ([[Tulasi (actress)|Tulasi]]) leads to both of them falling in love. Subba Rao invites his friend and his wife Annapoornamma ([[Nirmalamma]]) to his mansion and insults them reminding of their lower status in society. The rest of the movie is about how Annapoornamma- who challenges Subba Rao that he would one day come to her house begging for their help - gets it done with the main lead taken by her son Babji ([[Chiranjeevi]]) with help from others.<br />

==Production==<br />
The movie was a remake of a Malayalam film. Producer [[Jaya Krishna]], during an interview, stated that he bought the rights for 40,000 INR. While Bapu-Ramana wanted to have [[K. V. Mahadevan]] (who was their usual choice) as the composer, producer [[Jaya Krishna]] insisted on having [[Ilaiyaraaja]] as the composer, since [[Ilaiyaraaja]]-[[Chiranjeevi]]'s first combination, ''[[Abhilasha (1983 film)]]'' was a major musical and commercial success. ''Mantri Gari Viyyankudu'' was the only movie with [[Ilaiyaraaja]]-Bapu/Ramana combination. Heroine [[Poornima Jayaram]] was the top heroine in Malayalam and was introduced to Telugu movies through this movie. The budget was 22 lakh rupees [2.2 million] and [[Chiranjeevi]]'s remuneration was 1.5 lakh rupees. Both [[Ilaiyaraaja]] and [[Poornima Jayaram]] were given 60,000 Rupees. Cinematographer [[Lok Singh]] was paid 50,000 INR. The shooting was done mostly in and around [[Chennai]] except for a couple of songs [Emani Ne Cheli Paduduno] and one fight, which were shot in [[Ooty]]. The shooting was completed in 40 days.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
The movie was both a critical and commercial success and completed 50 days in most of the centers it was released. While the movie was the first foray for Bapu/Ramana combination into pure commercial cinema, it was praised for still having the Bapu/Ramana touch. The movie became a rage among youth, especially the college scenes and the songs endeared the youth of Andhra to the movie. The movie would have done even better had it not released a week after ''[[Khaidi (1983 film)|Khaidi]]'', which was breaking all kinds of industry records at that time.<br />
