Plot
Chanti (Ravi Teja), a soldier, arrives at his village for his father Madhav Rao's (Ranganath) funeral. He is bequeathed a huge property which he plans to use for his blind sister Jyothi (Revathi) to get her married. Unfortunately, the land happens to be between two proposed sites for a road in which the local MLA Sarvarayudu (Atul Kulkarni) has an interest, as it leads to his sugar factory. He offers to buy it from Chanti, who refuses, citing it as a memorial of his father. Chanti's sister is married to Raja Ravindra (Raja Ravindra), Chanti's army friend. However, the MLA kills Raja. Later, Chanti avenges his friend's and father's deaths, protecting his father's memorial site.
Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film two-and-a-half out of five and wrote that "This film is a disappointment from Ravi Teja who is branded as minimum guarantee hero for giving ample entertainment to audiences and decent profits for producers".[1] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Chanti is best left to the fun-loving bunch out in the front rows".[3]Deccan Herald wrote "The script, which looks like a rehash of potboilers churned out by the Telugu film industry in the 1980s, falls flat as it treads the all too predictable path. Even director Shoban, who had won accolades for his previous film Varsham, falters with Chanti".[4]Screen wrote "Director Sobhan chooses an insipid plot and tries to ride on Ravi Teja’s characterisation but it could rebound. [..] Bereft of relevant sub-plots, Shahjahan’s screenplay is repetitive and gives a sense of deja vu."[5]
