Plot
Lakshmi Narayana, the MD of Lakshmi Group of Companies, is an elder son in a family
with two brothers and two sisters. He is very strict about disciplining his
brothers so that they become the men that their father wanted them to be, to the
point of beating them for coming home drunk. He owns a factory that is worth
hundreds of crores. Shailaja a.k.a. Shailu, an employee in Lakshmi's company, has a
huge crush on him. Janardhan, a former employee of Lakshmi Industries who was
accused of forgery, plans to take revenge on Lakshmi by creating divisions in his
family. Soon, Lakshmi's sister falls in love with a man, and he is accepted by
Lakshmi, with the marriage concluding grandly. It is later revealed that the man is
Janardhan's nephew. This leads to Lakshmi revealing to his siblings that he and his
sister (the youngest of the five) were adopted by their parents at a young age as
they were orphans who were being ill-treated by their uncles and aunts. All this
leads to the splitting of the siblings with Lakshmi and his sister being thrown out
of the house by their younger brothers. The people standing beside Lakshmi are all
the people in his factory and his other sister. Lakshmi even ends up working in his
factory for all this. He even moves into a small house with his sister, where he is
later joined by his mother. Later, it is revealed that Lakshmi had fallen in love
with a girl named Nandini earlier, who was the niece of his foster father. Nandini
was threatened by a young man who was the son of a Kolkata-based don named Rayudu.
Lakshmi beats up the guy and sends him into a coma, which earns him Rayudu's wrath.
The rest of the story is about how Lakshmi stands up to all these people together.

Reception
Critical reception
Indiaglitz gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said "V V Vinayak's direction is on
safe lines. He keeps to the linear path, without taking any chances. He knows whom
he is catering to and delivers what he promised".[4] Jeevi of idlebrain.com gave
the film 3 out of 5 stars and said "First half of the film is OK and the scenes
before interval are good. The second half divulges into a entirely different
flashback episode. There are certain good moments in the film and has got
orientation towards masses and family crowds. However, the VV Vinayak could not
blend in Venkatesh’s family image and Vinayak’s mass taking in a smooth way. The
biggest advantage of this film is that Lakshmi is the only mass film for the entire
season of Sankranthi which gives good market penetration in C and D centers as well
in the first week itself".[5]In the 50 days of function at Eluru, the hero
Venkatesh said"The success of Lakshmi film encouraged me a lot. The success of the
film go to the entire unit of Lakshmi. I am happy to have delivered many hits in my
career spanning 20 years from Kaliyuga Pandavulu to Lakshmi. People started calling
me Lakshmi Bava after the release of this film."[6]
