Plot

The film begins with a boy, Abhiram, who behaves differently in different situations, which causes bewilderment to his father Eeswar Rao, so he immediately consults a neurosurgeon, Prabhudas. Here, it is revealed that Abhiram was born with two brains and holds a dual personality triggered by loud noises. Eeswar Rao now raises him as two people, Abhi / Ram, dividing and sharing the time. However, Abhiram becomes a self-hating person as both personalities possess contrasting lifestyles. Abhi is a rough, lazy playboy, while Ram is intelligent, outstanding, and wants to dedicate his life to bachelorhood.

The story takes a twist when a charming girl, Happy, enters Abhi's life whom he loves, but she falls for Ram, looking at his humanity. Ram too carries a girlfriend, Aascharya. As a side plot, Abhiram encounters a goon, Gagan Vihari, which throws him into a severe life threat.

Later, the love between Abhi and Happy becomes intense, and they both plan their marriage as Abhi says that he will hypnotize Happy's father. The scene changes with Abhi's parents in Happy's house for the marriage fixation. Still, Happy's father threatens Abhi by saying that the marriage should happen since Abhi spoiled Happy; Happy's father tells him that he is ready to fix the marriage for Ram and not Abhi and that by surgery on the brain, he is prepared to do surgery free to kill brain of Abhi. Eeswar Rao becomes sad.

In the house, Ram is shown to behave like Abhi's character and goes instead of Abhi to threaten Happy's father to trap Abhi into getting killed. Abhi says that all his losses, though he was a topper, were due to Abhi, who is scrap. Abhi hears all these and is later shown to be sad, confessing that he is scrap when drinking with his father. On the marriage day, the goon comes for revenge against Ram. Ram says he realizes why Abhi is important and then awakens Abhi, who hits down all the goons and their chief. Happy already confessed previously that she loves both Ram and Abhi. Finally, the movie ends in their first-night bedroom scene.

[8] 123telugu.com provides 2/5 ratings, announcing Burrakatha – Disappointing Drama: The concept is interesting but the narration was no up to the mark. [9] NTV says the film lustily outdated object, writer-turned-director Diamond Ratna Babu fails to tell a quirky storyline in an engaging fashion. [10] The Hans India affirms that the movie doesn't have a solid story that fails to engage the audiences due to a lack of screenplay. Nevertheless, the film begins with an interesting concept and concentrated more on entertainment it is a big letdown. [11]
