Allari Krishnayya (transl. Naughty Krishnayya) is a 1987 Telugu-language film directed by Nandamuri Ramesh. Nandamuri Balakrishna, Bhanupriya play the lead roles with music composed by Chakravarthy. It was produced by C. H. Satyanarayana and S. Bhaskar under the Vanitha Arts banner.
Plot
The film is set in a peaceful village governed by Narasayya and his nephew Madhavayya, who are known for their fair judgments. The two families share a close relationship. Krishnayya, Madhavayya's younger brother, is a brave and loyal man who deeply respects his brother and sister-in-law, Savitri. He falls in love with Lalitha, Narasayya's daughter, and they become engaged.
However, the village is troubled by two corrupt individuals, Veerabhadrayya and Karanam Kanakayya, who commit various atrocities. As the Panchayat elections approach, a division arises between Narasayya and Madhavayya as they support different candidates. This rift is exploited by the villains, leading to a rivalry between the two families. Karanam Kanakayya plots to marry Lalitha to Veerabhadrayya's son, Sundaram, but Krishnayya intervenes and marries her instead, further straining relations with Madhavayya.
When the village's annual festival approaches, previously overseen by both Narasayya and Madhavayya, Krishnayya takes charge and manages to convince them to cooperate. The villains attempt to sabotage the event by stealing the temple jewels and framing Narasayya. In the end, Krishnayya exposes the truth, clears Narasayya’s name, and defeats the wrongdoers. The film concludes with the reunion of the family.
