Balu (Sree Vishnu) is the sole breadwinner in his family while his father is still struggling to clear the degree exam. The grandfather's will states that his children will get the family property only after earning a degree certificate and Balu's father Uma Maheshwara Rao (Naresh) is struggling to clear the exam. Balu gets his father admitted to a tuition center and his father befriends Sarayu (Reba Monica John) there, eventually bringing her home to be a paying guest. Love blossoms between Balu and Sarayu but her father hates love marriage. How does Balu win over her family and clear the hurdle thrown at him, forms rest of the story.
Samajavaragamana has an hilarious first half, focusing equally on the father's failed attempts to pass the exam (an in-form Naresh bringing the house down) and Balu's attempt to help his father as well as his reason for keeping girls at a distance. Much of the humor hits the right spot and Sree Vishnu with his terrific comic timing ensures the first half to not have a single dull moment. The story moves in a brisk pace and though the songs are barely passable, the comedy ranging from funny to hilarious, elevates several scenes.
The film however struggles in the second half with one joke getting stretched to it's entirely along with the drama. Compared to the first half, this falls short by miles in terms of entertainment and focusing the story entirely on Balu - Sarayu story, ignoring the far more entertaining Balu - Uma Maheshwara's antics eventually takes a toll. Sree Vishnu still tries to carry the film through, making the scenes work with his comic timing but the final act completely falls flat. Vennela Kishore is naturally funny and in this film, it is only him trying to be funny while his character or the humor written around him is largely cringe. I am going with a lenient writing solely for the first half being that funny otherwise the second half truly disappoints.
