Plot
Raj Kumar or Raj (Chiranjeevi) is a rich audio company owner who owns a modern dance school. Dance is his passion and his life until he meets and marries Shanti (Simran). They have a daughter Akshaya (Anushka Malhotra). Raj believes in his friends and does anything for them. However, they take advantage of him and usurp his wealth. Though Raj and his family are happy in their not-so-lavish lifestyle, their happiness is shattered when Akshaya becomes ill with a heart condition. Raj, instead of bringing the money Shanti had stored in the bank to the hospital to save Akshaya, uses it to save his former dance student Gopi (Allu Arjun), who was hit by a car. Shanti, who is pregnant, leaves him because she feels that he killed their daughter.
Six years later, Raj, who is once again wealthy, sees his second child, Aishwarya, who looks exactly like his Akshaya, in whose honor he builds a foundation which takes care of poor, unhealthy children and their families. He builds a relationship with Aishwarya without Shanti's knowledge. However, Shanti finds out, tries to reconcile with him after realizing her mistake, but doesn't because she sees him with the same friend who took advantage of them earlier. Raj agrees to leave, says a final goodbye, and as he is about to leave, sees his child caught in an accidental fire at her school function. He saves her, but he is wounded. Shanti sees how much he loves her and Aishwarya, and they finally reunite.
Reception
Sify wrote "Chiranjeevi looks jaded, as he has to carry this weak script on his shoulders. Simran sleepwalks through the film and Rajendra Prasad has nothing much to do. Suresh Krishna with a half-baked story has messed up the film. The music of S.A.Rajkumar is stale and there is nothing new in Raju Sundaram’s choreography. On the whole even Chiru fans will not digest Daddy. The film lacks emotional fizz". [5] Andhra Today wrote "Chiranjeevi's fans may get disappointed by the film that projects him from an angle quite contrary to his known image. The sentiment may appeal to the female audience, and thus, might prove a hit for Chiranjeevi. Credit must go to the director for the variety in the story, especially, the sentimental scenes are handled very sensitively and move people to tears. The only shortcoming of the movie is the lack of entertainment". [6] Telugu Cinema wrote "This family drama with child sentiment lacks either the proper build up in the sequnce of the events or emotional grip in the story. With no humour to give relief the film takes on nerves. Of course there are a couple of scenes both in a side comedy track and by the hero meant for humour, which failed utterly". [7]
