Plot

Adisesha Naidu is the head of Bhudevipuram village. He has two sons with his first wife Tulsamma (Bosu and Jagadish) and two daughters and a son with his second wife Arjunamma (Ganga, Kumari, and Bujji who is mute). Tulasamma brings fortune to the family, through which Adisesha becomes wealthy. Following Tulsamma's death while giving birth to Jagadish, Arjunamma takes in Bosu and Jagadish as her own children, and all the children are brought up together as a joint family. Jagdish loves his stepmother and treats her as his own and also is ideal brother to all his sisters. Bosu, however, secretly dislikes the other family members as he believes he is the only rightful heir of his father's wealth as the first-born son. He also hates the thought that his father has a soft corner for his daughters. Bhudevipuram is notorious for its property disputes, which are usually solved by Adisesha Naidu. On one such occasion, Veerendra's father is killed in a feud, and he develops hatred toward Adisesha's family.

Upon Adisesha's death from cardiac arrest, Bosu threatens the advocate and ensures to prepare the will giving him all the family assets rather than to his half-siblings, contrary to what his father willed. He secretly makes a deal with Veerendra and gets his niece Chandra married to Veerendra's brother in exchange for a share in a windmill project coming up in place of farms leased out to local farmers by Adisesha. Bosu also insults Arjunamma and his half-siblings when they demand a share in the property, thereby ousting them. Following his father's death, Jagadish is sent to the city for further studies and is not informed of his Chandra's wedding. Upon returning to the village, he is furious about being kept in the dark about these disputes. He is stopped by his brother Bosu when he tries to talk him into sharing his portion of wealth with other family members. Jagadish then is appointed as the MRO for that village with the district collector's support and starts mending everything his brother has done.

Jagadish visits his Chandra and understands that she has been a victim of domestic abuse and wishes to take her away from there. When she resists, he hands her a remote with a light on the terrace of her house, which signals that she is in trouble. Unable to get a No Objection Certificate for the windmill project from MRO Jagadish, Veerendra takes 5 crore from the project owner Somaraju and cheats Bosu. This causes a rift between Veerendra and Bosu that leads to Bosu being attacked by Veerendra's brother.

While Bosu is in the hospital, his step-mother donates blood for his recovery. With the help of the advocate, Jagadish learns and reveals to Bosu that his step-mother Arjunamma was his biological mother and also of the sisters. He also knows that Jagadish is the only child of Adisesha's first wife Tulsamma, thereby inheriting the entire property. Bosu is torn and hurt by the way he treated his own family and mends his relationship with them. Jagadish, however, is wrongly assumed to be after the property by everyone in the family except Bosu and Chandra.

Bosu visits Veerendra to improve Chandra's married life and collect 5 crores so that it is paid back to Somaraju. Veerendra and his brother refuse and try to kill Bosu and Chandra. Chandra realizes the danger and turns on the signal to appriase Jagadish of the situation. Jagadish arrives in time, and in the ensuing fight, he kills Veerendra and his brother, before taking Bosu and Chandra back to the family. The family members realize their mistakes and misunderstandings and live together.

Jagadish marries the VRO Gummadi Varalakshmi and is transferred to a new village rampant in corruption, which he is ready to address.

[12] Tuck Jagadish is Nani's first film in the masala genre. [13]

Release

The film was initially scheduled for a theatrical release on 16 April 2021, [41] but was later pushed back by a week to 23 April 2021. [42] The release was put on hold, following the second wave of COVID-19 in India. Following, the reopening of theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, [43] the producers of Tuck Jagadish reinstated the plans for theatrical release during late-July and early-August. [44] However, they had decided to release the film through over-the-top streaming services (OTT), following the regulations of ticket prices levied by the Chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy faced disapproval from the exhibitors. [45] In this process, medium and high-budget films may garner higher ticket rates as per the new regulations, which was condemned by many members from the film fraternity. [46] The digital rights were sold to Amazon Prime Video.

The film was planned for a release on 10 September 2021, during the festival Ganesh Chaturthi. [47] [48] However, Sunil Narang, the vice president of Telangana Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), requested the producers not to release on the date, as it may eventually affect the prospects of Love Story (2021), another film which scheduled for release theatrically on the same date, [49] and was postponed later. [50] However, the producers claimed that the decision was taken by the streaming platform's executives, and the producers do not have to interfere about the change of release. [51] In an interview to The Indian Express , Nani spoke about the film's release that "An OTT is a great platform to watch different types of content. It also has a massive reach and has inspired a change in the preferences of the audience. However, I firmly believe that nothing can replace the big-screen entertainment." [52]

Marketing

As a part of the promotional purposes, Tuck Jagadish Parichaya Vedika, a promotional pre-release event was planned by the film's team. Starting from 27 March 2021, the team planned four events across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states. [53] The first set of event was held at Rajahmundry, with the film's team being present at the event. [34] However, due to restrictions imposed by government to curb COVID-19 spread, the team suspended the plans for three other promotional events, [54] and held a formal press meet during the first week of April 2021. [55] Another promotional event was held on 1 September 2021 at H. I. C. C. Novotel in Hyderabad, to release the film's trailer and songs. [56] A virtual fan meet was held on 8 September 2021, prior to the film's release. [57]

Reception

Tuck Jagadish received mixed reviews from the critics. [58] [59] Writing for The Hindu , Sangeetha Devi Dundoo called Tuck Jagadish a familiar family drama with a predictable storyline. She appreciated the emotional scenes between the characters and stated: "The later part of the story, though predictable and long-drawn, work partly because of the earnestness with which Nani, Aishwarya Rajesh and Jagapati Babu shoulder it. Ritu Varma is charming and effective." [60] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express said that the film was "old wine in a new bottle," criticizing the poor writing by Nirvana. "He seems to have borrowed, rehashed and refurbished ideas and the philosophy of all hit melodramatic films that he has ever watched without any value addition," he added. [61] Hindustan Times critic Haricharan Pudipeddi also felt the same, and wrote: "The emotional family drama moments are tiring to sit through, and the film is stuck in the 1980s, story-wise, but luckily the action choreography and performances make up for the boring plot." [62]

Murali Krishna CH of Cinema Express stated: "Tuck Jagadish is a mixed bag of emotions that depicts family conflict, sibling rivalry and heartbreak." Contrary to other critics, Krishna opined that the pacing was aptly suited to the film, given its "delicate, emotional tale that evokes the complexity of its premise." [63] India Today editor Janani K concluded her review by stating: "Tuck Jagadish is an emotional family drama that stresses the importance of human relationships. Had the screenplay had some refreshing sequences, the film would have had more impact." [64]

The Quint gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and opined that the film just stops short of being fully 'mass'. They further cited it as "pleasant yet familiar good vs evil story". [65] Balakrishna Ganeshan of The News Minute opined that the title had little relevance to the plot and suggested Naidu gari Kutumbam (transl.Naidu's family) instead. Ganesan also explored the politics of the film and wrote: "Tollywood films have always looked at village life from the perspective of Gandhi, or to be more precise, from an upper caste perspective that romanticises it. Villages are a cesspool of casteism. Defying caste codes will result in violence of various degrees." [66] Nirmal Narayanan of the International Business Times wrote: "Tuck Jagadish is cliched but engaging. If you are the one who loves to see that age-old village drama again, watch it." [67]
