Andhra Pradesh

A good time pass film

Film: Dongala Bandi

Cast: Naresh, Tanya

Direction: Satish Vegesna

This film has a beginning but doesn’t end. It is just a constant narration of a story of multiple groups of thieves. Three thieves Ali, M.S. Narayana and Venu Madhav have a parchment with them, which is a plan that shows the way to the looted treasure trunk . In excitement the plan is torn into three pieces and each of them split and disappear, one of them even dies later while the rest become old, marry and move on with their grandchildren. The third generation of t hieves both men and women become professional con masters and are fighting for one-upmanship. In this process Naresh falls for Tanya and a series of events unfold reuniting the families of Ali, M.S. Narayana and Venu Madhav. They resolve to jointly hunt for the treasure trunk. The first one hour is quick, with crazy one liners but post interval it drags a bit. Dongala Bandi succeeds in keeping Allari Naresh’s fans and comedy genre lovers faithfully entertained and involved.Songs prop up at regular intervals, technically bearable and a good time pass film.
