She appoints a revered criminal lawyer, Chakravarthy (Murali Sharma) to bail her out. Tenali Ramakrishna (Sundeep Kishan) is a lawyer who finds no work but for some petty cases. He finds a way to make money by convincing his clients for out of court settlements. But his father (Raghu Babu) is not happy as he wants his son to take up high profile cases and thereby earn people's respect.

Performances
Sundeep Kishan gets into the role of a lawyer well. Varalakshmi gets a meaty role and does a fine job. Hansika gets to play literally a dumb character. Murali Sharma is good. Prabhas Sreenu, Posani Krishna Murali, Sapthagiri, Chammak Chandra are okay.

Analysis
G.Nageswara Reddy has made some very good comedy entertainers in the past. 'Tenali Ramakrishna BA.BL' is also expected to be in that list. Though the film has some good comedy scenes, it doesn't happen. The film has a good premise but the proceedings should have been engaging. Had the director shown some intelligence in the way the hero solves important cases, it would have been engaging. That's our opinion.
