## Plot

[edit]

Rahul and Niti are cousins that have known each other since childhood. They see each other as friends, which is why they're both surprised to discover that their grandfather has arranged for the two of them to get married. The two are married, but Niti is unhappy in the marriage and tells her new husband that she has only married him to make Satyam happy. She keeps their marriage a secret and falls in love with a basketball player at her university. Rahul soon discovers this after Niti is seen cheering for her boyfriend at a game, but is determined to win over his wife's heart.

## Reception

[edit]

Critical reception for Pelli Pustakam has been predominantly negative.[3] The Times of India rated the movie at two stars and heavily criticized it, as they felt that it promoted consanguineous marriages.[4] The Hindu and IndiaGlitz also panned the movie, with the former stating that the film "had all the pre requisites to be a decent hit and for the ‘family audience’ the director adulterates the smooth going story with unpalatable scenes and unnecessary characters after a point and makes the viewer restless even as the film is seemingly headed for a routine but a decent message."[5][6]
