== Plot ==
'''1995''': Valmiki and Ramachandra start their careers as [[Clerk|clerks]] in Ananth "ARK" RadhaKrishna's [[company]]. Ramachandra marries ARK's daughter Yasoda "Yasu", becomes wealthy while Valmiki remains a [[middle class]] person. On the day of the birth of both their children, Ramachandra's son appears to be [[stillborn]]. When [[nurse]] Sulochana informs Valmiki about this, he offers to exchange his baby with the dead one.


### **Plot Overview:**
After the switch, the child that appeared dead starts to [[cry]]; however, Valmiki wants his son to grow up in a rich household. When Sulochana tries to switch the babies again, Valmiki tries to stop her and accidentally pushes her. Sulochana falls from the hospital building and goes into a [[coma]] with Valmiki getting a [[cramp]] that slowly turns into a [[limp]]. Valmiki's son is named Raj. Valmiki names Ramachandra's son Bantu and treats him roughly due to his true parentage.


The story revolves around two families and the themes of mistaken identities and family bonds.
'''2020''': After Valmiki refuses to pay for Bantu's [[Master of Business Administration|MBA]], Bantu goes to [[interview]] for a job at a travel company headed by Amulya aka Ammu, a self-made businesswoman. After a brief scuffle and misunderstanding with the company HR Shekhar, Bantu lands the role. Eventually, Bantu develops feelings for Ammu when he, Ammu, Shekhar, and their colleague Ravindra Reddy go to [[Paris]] for a business trip, and shortly after the trip, Ammu reciprocates his feelings.


#### **Main Characters:**
Meanwhile, Raj returns from abroad, discontinuing his MBA. Ramachandra wants Raj to toughen up so he sends him to reject Paidithalli, the son of Appala Naidu, a wealthy, powerful and influential man who offers to buy 50% of their company's [[shares]]. Ramachandra watches the deal from the [[hotel]] where Ammu and Bantu have a meeting with Sudharshanam, the investor behind Ammu's [[firm]], who wants to buyback Ammu's [[travel agency]]. Ramachandra is disappointed by Raj's hesitance and inability to say no to Paidithalli but is proud of Bantu and Ammu for saying no to Sudharshanam. Following this, Raj is engaged with Ammu on ARK's suggestion, even though Raj is already in love with his cousin Nandini "Nandu".
- **Bantu (Allu Arjun)**: The protagonist, raised in a middle-class family, who is intelligent, hardworking, and seeks recognition and love from his father, who doesn't value him.
- **Valmiki (Murali Sharma)**: Bantu's father, who is emotionally distant and often favors his biological son.
- **Ammu (Pooja Hegde)**: The love interest of Bantu and the daughter of a wealthy family.
- **Rama (Sushanth)**: Bantu’s biological brother, who is unaware of the truth about his parentage.
- **Sundar (Samuthirakani)**: A businessman with ties to Bantu’s family.


#### **The Key Twist (The Mistaken Identity):**
Appala Naidu attempts to kill Ramachandra for refusing to sell the shares minutes before Ammu and Bantu arrive to call off the marriage. Bantu saves Ramachandra by taking him to the hospital despite several attempts by Naidu's men to stop them. There he meets Sulochana, who comes out of her coma and reveals Bantu's true parentage. She passes away right after that. The furious Bantu slaps Valmiki. Bantu then manages to enter Ramachandra's house, named "Vaikuntapuram", by blackmailing Ramachandra's [[Physician|doctor]]. ARK takes an instant liking to him.
Bantu is brought up in a middle-class family by his father, who constantly ignores him in favor of his wealthy and well-established biological son. However, a significant twist occurs when it is revealed that Bantu is actually the biological son of **Rama's** (Sushanth) real father, **Valmiki**, a man in a higher social class. Due to a series of misunderstandings, Bantu was swapped at birth with the real son of a wealthy family, leading to the mistaken identities and an exchange of children between the families.


#### **Story Development:**
Bantu addresses the issues plaguing the house by patching up Ramachandra's broken relationship with Yasu (which was fragile, as Ramachandra had an affair once with a woman named Revathi seven years ago), settling the dispute with Paidathalli, and reforming the corrupt family members, Sitaram and Kashiram.
- **Bantu's Realization**: After learning about his true parentage, Bantu discovers that he was swapped at birth and raised in a different family. He tries to connect with his biological family, but things are complicated by family dynamics and misunderstandings.
- **Rising Conflicts**: Bantu gets involved in solving a conflict involving his real family and the injustices they face. He also pursues his love interest, **Ammu**, while trying to reconcile his loyalty to his adoptive family.


- **Climax**: The story reaches a point where Bantu confronts the antagonist, sets things right for his family, and finally brings justice and happiness to the people around him.
At a [[party]] thrown at their house, Yasu witnesses Bantu and Ammu kissing each other. Bantu is ousted out of the house by Valmiki while Ammu's [[engagement]] with Raj is cancelled. Naidu uses the situation to his advantage by [[kidnapping]] and threatening to kill Nandu unless Ramachandra gives the shares to Paidithalli. When Valmiki begs Bantu to save Nandu, he refuses but goes anyway. He thrashes the goons, slams Paidathalli, and stabs Naidu. Later, Raj saves Naidu, thus ending his enmity with Ramachandra. Bantu and Valmiki arrive at Vaikuntapuram, where ARK slaps Valmiki and reveals that he overheard the conversation between Sulochana and Bantu right before her death. Bantu unites with his biological father, Ramachandra but asks him not to reveal the truth to Yasu, fearing she might be disheartened to know that Raj is not her real child. Unaware of this, Yasu remarks that Bantu is equal to Raj as he saved Nandu and the family, thereby giving Bantu 50% of its shares. Yasu then asks Valmiki to train Raj for five years to be as competent as Bantu and become the [[Chief Executive Officer|CEO]] of the company.


### **Themes:**
After arriving at Valmiki's house, Raj, feeling comfortable with his new middle class life and Bantu's old travel job, said that Valmiki, with a nurse's help, should have switched the babies 25 years ago so he could've ended up at Valmiki's house and Bantu at Ramachandra's, much to the dismay of Valmiki. The story ends with Valmiki watching hopelessly as Bantu leaves in a [[helicopter]] with Ammu.
- **Family and Love**: The film explores family relationships, the value of unconditional love, and the importance of belonging.
- **Mistaken Identity**: The plot heavily revolves around the theme of mistaken identity, where Bantu’s life is turned upside down upon learning the truth about his origins.
- **Social Class**: The movie touches on social class differences, contrasting the rich and poor through the experiences of Bantu and his biological family.

### **Conclusion:**
In the end, **Bantu** becomes a hero who stands up for what’s right, uniting his real family while maintaining his bond with the people who raised him. The movie blends humor, emotional drama, and action sequences, making it a commercial success and a fan favorite.

"Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo" is remembered for its catchy music, strong performances, and entertaining screenplay.

Development

It was reported that, post the release of Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018), Trivikram Srinivas decided to direct a new film with Allu Arjun and that, after listening to the script, the actor had advised the filmmaker to make some changes.[8] The idea of swapping infants was earlier attempted in Vedantam Raghavayya's Inti Guttu (1958), starring N. T. Rama Rao and Savitri.[9]

On 31 December 2018, coinciding with New Year's Eve, the project was officially announced, thus marking the third collaboration of Trivikram and Arjun after Julayi (2012) and S/O Satyamurthy (2015).[10] It was further reported that Allu Aravind, Arjun's father will co-produce the film under his own banner Geetha Arts, along with S. Radha Krishna's Haarika & Haasine Creations.[11] The film was launched under the tentative title #AA19, before the title Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, was revealed on 15 August 2019.[12]

Casting

In mid-October 2018, reports surfaced that Kiara Advani will play the female lead opposite Allu Arjun.[13][14] In January 2019, Sunil was reported to play an important role in the film.[15] In February 2019, Pooja Hegde was reported to replace Advani, as the female lead,[16] thus marking their collaboration with both Arjun and Trivikram, for the second time, after DJ: Duvvada Jagannadham (2017) and Aravinda Sametha Veera Raghava (2018).[17] Veteran actress Nagma was reported to play Allu Arjun's mother in the film, although she was not approached for the role.[18]

The song was also filmed at Lido de Paris, a world-famous cabaret theatre, and became the first South Indian film to shoot there.[43] The makers cost up to ₹5 crore (US$600,000), for the song shoot.[44] The team also shot the song "OMG Daddy" in parts of Europe.[45] Later in December 2019, the makers moved to Hyderabad to shoot the song "Butta Bomma", for which a huge set was erected at the Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad.[46] The shooting of the film was wrapped up on 28 December 2019.[46]

Hemanth Kumar of Firstpost gave the film 3.25 stars out of 5 and wrote "Ala Vaikunthapurramloo is both entertaining and engaging to a good extent, however, it takes plenty of time before it finds its groove. One could argue a lot about how the pace of the film could have been and if there was a better way to make a bunch of characters be more relevant to the story, but when Trivikram finishes telling the story, he leaves you with a pleasant feeling."[104]

Neeshita Nyayapati of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 stating "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has a bit of everything and despite the cliché and the predictable storyline. Trivikram manages to make it work and deliver what he promises. Watch this for Allu Arjun, especially if you're a fan, for he shines in this one and of course, the fun of it all."[105] Karthik Keramalu of The Quint stated "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo has a lot going for it because Bantu (the weirdest name for a Telugu movie hero) spends time with other characters (played by Tabu, Jayaram, Sunil, Sachin Khedekar, Vennela Kishore, Rajendra Prasad, Rahul Ramakrishna, Nivetha Pethuraj etc...) and doesn't wallow in mediocrity for a long time. And P. S., Vinod's cinematography makes each frame in the action episodes appear as avant-garde paintings. And on top of it all, the songs are an absolute treat, which makes it as an entertainer that promises fun".[106]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu called the film "an absorbing and entertaining drama presented by Trivikram – Allu Arjun duo".[107] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave 3 out of 5 and stated "The main pleasures of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo are not unravelling of the secrets that the characters are determined to carry to their graves. It is Trivikram's writing and his intention to tell a story and entertain the audience without any rush."[108] Sankeerthana Verma of Film Companion reviewed "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is far from being perfect cinema. There are many flaws and the film takes many artistic liberties to move the story forward, but so does every other masala entertainer. But this one manages to entertain you. This one does. If a good Sankranti film is all about having a laugh and some harmless fun without having to sell your soul, this is definitely the one to go with."[109]

Janani K of India Today, gave 3 out of 5 stars and stating "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is not a film that experiments. It ends up as a film that knows its flaws but packages it cleverly so that it does not weigh down on the overall experience."[110] Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times wrote "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is undoubtedly one of Trivikram's better films in recent years. While one can argue that he plays it safe by taking the tried-and-tested family template, at least he doesn't disappoint and that is laudable."[111] Sify gave 3 out of 5 for the film stating "Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is a well-packaged entertaining movie that has several positive points. It is a feel-good family entertainer. Despite many issues and some cliched sequences, it makes an entertaining watch during this festive period."[112]

Remake

Followed by the success of the film, a Tamil remake of the film was reported to be under confirmation,[113] with Sivakarthikeyan reprising Arjun's role from the film, apart from acquiring the remake rights but the remake plans were dropped in favor of a Tamil dub titled Vaikundapuram.[114] The very same month, Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon were hired for the Hindi remake of the film named Shehzada for reprising the roles of Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde respectively, helmed by Rohit Dhawan and bankrolled by Radha Krishna, the producers of the original film.[115][116] The film's production commenced in October 2021 and ended in January 2023.[117] It was released on 17 February 2023.[118]

Impact

The film received praise from celebrities, with Pawan Kalyan,[119] Sivakarthikeyan and N. T. Rama Rao Jr.[120] lauding Allu Arjun's performance. The song "Butta Bomma" received a positive response for Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde's dance performance, with Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty[121] and Disha Patani[122] eventually praising the song. In April 2020, Australian cricketer David Warner along with his wife Candice Warner, took to TikTok, to perform the hook step from the number, which went viral through social media.[123] The song was one of the most viral songs of Telugu film industry.[50] It gained over 800 millions+ views on YouTube making it to the chartbuster category of that year's music videos.

Accolades

The movie won several accolades including National Film Awards, Mirchi Music Awards South, South Indian International Movie Awards and Sakshi Excellence Awards.
