 Story  :

Palakollu (Dasari) comes from nowhere and joins Vizag shipyard as a labourer and becomes their mesthri (leader) in no time. He solves the internal issues of the workers there. The local benevolent politician Gopala Krishnaiah (Vijaya Kumar) recommends and gets a big chunk of land piece for the workers. But the local mafia occupies that land forcefully. The rest of the story is all about how Mesthri solves it all and it is also about the background of Palakollu.

Analysis  :

First half of the film is mediocre and second half is bad. The plus points of the film are Dasari’s tactics of wooing labors in the first half and Mohan Babu’s performance in the second half. The negative points are old fashioned direction, routine screenplay and lack of gripping narration. Dasari Narayana Rao should have concentrated on giving better movie in form of Mesthri than using it to criticize Chiranjeevi. On a whole, Mesthri disappoints a big time.
