Themovie begins with Rahul Vadayar (Nikitin Dheer) finding a new hideout for his forest smuggling business. He is helped by Gundappa Naidu (Tanikella Bharani). Gundappa aspires to take power from Pichaiah Naidu (Nassar) who resides at a village amid the Andhra-Karnataka border. Pichaiah Naidu requested his son K. J. Rao (Anand) to send his grandson to India and Chai (Varun Tej) rejecting their parent's proposal of him going to India and that he hates his grandfather because his mother died in an accident because of him.

Later he is sent to the airport to receive his cousin Priya whom he has not met before. Amidst confusion at the airport, Chai instead receives Meera (Hebah Patel) and falls for her at the first sight, and brings her to his home. Later, when he reaches home, he realizes it is Meera, not Priya. Meera reveals that she has to be received at the airport from someone who works as a museum coordinator (Melkote) in Spain and that she could not contact them as she has lost her phone and that she will be here for five days. The duo starts visiting all museums, and when Chai finds the Museum coordinator Srinu (Srinivas Reddy), he manages to convince Meera to stay at Chai's home.


When Chai's mother realizes his love towards Meera, she encourages him to express his love. Meera and Chai meet at Meera's best friend Andy's headstone, where she reveals that she is in love with Siddharth (Prince Cecil), who is very much like Chai, that does everything for the family. Chai treasures Meera as his first love, and not revealing that he is in love with Meera, sends her off at the airport to India. Some days later, Chai receives a call from Meera, revealing that Siddharth has cheated on her. Chai then decides to leave for India when his parents suggest he visit his grandfather, and they secretly hope for Meera to come back to him.


The setting changes to India, where Chai visits Siddharth and gets to know that Meera's brother Muthappa Gouda (Harish Uthaman) threatened Siddharth and his family to marry him off to another girl and that Gouda's men are at his house and though he loves Meera very much, he is helpless. Chai successfully escapes Siddharth and his family and promises to bring Meera along. Later, he visits Meera's place and explains Siddharth's predicament, and escapes with her.


On their way to meet Siddharth, the duo encounters film director Lakshmi Tulasi (Prudhvi) and his comical associates. After some comical circumstances with Lakshmi Tulasi, Chey meets Chandramukhi (Lavanya Tripathi), who is the daughter of Sri Veera Narasimha Rayalu (Murali Sharma) who belongs to king Sri Krishna Devaraya's dynasty, who runs a private government. She escapes from her marriage arranged with Rahul Vadayar, who also belongs to another royal family later it reveals that he is the son of Hajarappa (Nagineedu) who is a trusted aid of Rayalu and the dewan of their palace, who is very vicious and vengeful against Rayalu because he killed his first son on Rayulu's punishment for molesting a girl. Later Chandramukhi knows about Rahul's character, and she escapes from the palace. Later she went to Bangalore to her aunt's home for protection from the marriage, but her plan is in vain when they settled abroad. So, there is no way left she was returning to her home. Then goons started attacking her suddenly when Chai saves her, and she eventually falls in love with him. It is later revealed in a flashback that Chandramukhi has been house arrested since she was a young girl by her father and that he deeply bases all his actions based on the words of Swamiji, who in turn is controlled by Hajarappa.


Later some comical circumstances with Lakshmi Tulasi and Satyagrahi (Shakalaka Shankar), the gang meets Siddharth as promised, then Siddharth promises to Meera that he will come back for her to show a safe place to his family to protection from Gouda's men. After Siddharth left, they were attacked by Rayalu's men and are brought to the palace. Chai, Meera, and the gang are treated very well at the palace, and the two get elated. During their days at the palace, Meera slowly falls for Chai. Later, Chandramukhi asks Chai to escape as they will be sacrificed very soon as a punishment for the escape of Chandramukhi and bashing his henchmen. During the day of sacrifice, Chandramukhi's brother Bhukkaraya (Bharath) notices a Rudraksha-shaped mole on Chai's lower back and reveals that Chandramukhi's life is destined with Chai, and they both are set to marry as Swamiji has mentioned.


This makes Hajarappa angry, and he sends men to kill Chai. The three, along with Bhukkaraya, escape to Chai's grandfather's home. Later it is revealed by Pichaiah Naidu's brother (Chandra Mohan) that the accident is happened by Chai's father. Then, Pichaiah Naidu takes the blame on him in front of Chai because Chai doesn't want to hate his father. Finally, Chai unites with his grandpa. However, it is later revealed that Chai does not have a mole, and this plan has been hatched by Bhukkaraya and his mom (Satya Krishnan), to save Chai and marry off Chandramukhi to Chai. On hearing this, Meera expresses her love for Chai, fearing that she might lose him to Chandramukhi. Later Meera tells her story to Chandramukhi. After hearing her story, Chandramukhi with a broken heart accepts her love and decides to leave Chai. However, Chai convinces Meera that Siddharth loves her as much as him, and he confesses that he loves Chandramukhi. He reveals that a fight arises between Hajarappa and Pichaiah Naidu, in the process, Chandramukhi kills Hajarappa by the way all the facts were known to Rayalu. Meanwhile, on the challenge day (Rahul Vadayar challenges Pichiah Naidu in a dual for the support of Gundappa Naidu to take over power from him), Chai enters on behalf of Pichiah Naidu reveals that his full name is also Pichaiah Naidu. In the dual with Rahul, Chai bashes him to death.


I wish there were a way to write a positive two-star review. Harmony Korine's "Mister Lonely" is an odd, desperate film, lost in its own audacity, and yet there are passages of surreal beauty and preposterous invention that I have to admire. The film doesn't work, and indeed seems to have no clear idea of what its job is, and yet (sigh) there is the temptation to forgive its trespasses simply because it is utterly, if pointlessly, original.


All of the characters except for a priest played by Werner Herzog and some nuns live as celebrity impersonators. We can accept this from the Michael Jackson clone (Diego Luna), and we can even understand why when, in Paris, he meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator (Samantha Morton), they would want to have drink together in a sidewalk cafe. It's when she takes him home with her that the puzzlements begin.



She lives in a house with the pretensions of a castle, in the Highlands of Scotland. It is inhabited by an extended family of celebrity impersonators, and they portray, to get this part out of the way, Charlie Chaplin (Denis Lavant), the Pope (James Fox), the Queen (Anita Pallenberg), Shirley Temple (Esme Creed-Miles), Abraham Lincoln (Richard Strange), Buckwheat, Sammy Davis Jr. and of course the Three Stooges. Now consider. How much of a market is there in the remote Highlands for one, let alone a houseful, of celebrity impersonators? How many pounds and pence can the inhabitants of the small nearby village be expected to toss into their hats? How would it feel to walk down the high street and be greeted by such a receiving line? What are the living expenses?


But such are logical questions, and you can check credibility at the door. This family is not only extended but dysfunctional, starting with Marilyn and Charlie, who are a couple, although she says she thinks of Hitler when she looks at him, and he leaves her out in the sun to burn. Lincoln is foul-mouthed and critical of everyone, Buckwheat thinks of himself as foster parent of a chicken, and the Pope proposes a toast: They should all get drunk in honor of the deaths of their sheep.


Perhaps that's how they support themselves: raising sheep. However there seem scarcely two dozen sheep, which have go be destroyed after an outbreak of one of those diseases sheep are always being destroyed for. They're shot-gunned by the Three Stooges. Or maybe there are chickens around somewhere that we don't see. The chickens would probably be in the movie in homage to Werner Herzog, who famously hates chickens.


Now you are remembering that I mentioned Herzog and some nuns. No, they do not live on the estate. They apparently live in South America, where they drop sacks of rice on hungry villages from an altitude of about 2,000 feet. Rinse well. When one of the nuns survives a fall from their airplane, she calls on all of the nuns to jump, to prove their faith in God. I would not dream of telling you if they do. Herzog feels a bond with Korine, who was still a teenager when he wrote the screenplay for Larry Clark's great "Kids" (1995). Korine is visionary and surrealistic enough to generate admiration from Herzog who also starred in his "julien donkey-boy" (he plays a schizophrenic's father, who listens to bluegrass while wearing gas mask). In addition to the chickens, "Mister Lonely" has another homage to Herzog, a shot of an airplane taking off, which you will have to be very, very familiar with the director's work to footnote.


Various melodramatic scenarios burrow to the surface. Marilyn is fraught with everything a girl can be fraught with. Lincoln has anger management problems. The Pope insists he is not dead. Everyone works on the construction of a theater, in which they will present their show, expecting folks to come all way the from town to -- what? Stand in a spotlight and do tiny bits evoking their celebrities? Then fulsome music swells, and the underlying tragedy of human existence is evoked, and the movie is more fascinating than it has any right to be, especially considering how fascinating it is that it was made at all.


Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary Live at Mister Kelly's, which chronicles the history and legacy of the famed nightclub, Mister Kelly's. One of the hotspots of Chicago nightlife in the 1950s through the mid-1970s, Mister Kelly's was a welcoming venue where people could be entertained by top-shelf jazz and comedy talent and see rising stars who later gained international fame. Names like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Mort Sahl, Steve Martin, Lily Tomlin, and Richard Pryor regularly graced the marquee of Mister Kelly's. And club founders and brothers George and Oscar Marienthal thought of everything to ensure a quality experience for their patrons and staff alike.
