Set in the streets of Vijayawada's Vinchipeta, "Krishnamma" follows the lives of Bhadra (Satya Dev), Koti (Laxman Meesala), and Shiva (Krishna Burugula) – three orphans bound together by a strong sense of brotherhood rather than by blood ties. Their journey is marked by a series of minor crimes, with Shiva experiencing imprisonment early in their lives.

Following his release, Shiva decides to pursue a lawful path by establishing a printing business. However, Bhadra and Koti continue their involvement in criminal activities, unwilling to leave behind the only life they know.

Their circumstances take a drastic turn when they find themselves in urgent need of a significant amount of money. In a bid to acquire it, they embark on a final operation that ends in tragedy. This event sets off a chain of unforeseen calamities and personal dilemmas, challenging their bonds of brotherhood and forcing them to confront the consequences of their actions.

Reception[edit]

Paul Nicodemus of The Times of India rated the film 3/5 stars and stated "Krishnamma impresses with its strong character dynamics, solid performances, and exploration of complex themes, making it a notable debut for its director".[19]

Raghu Bandi from The Indian Express gave the film 2/5 stars and wrote "Krishnamma provides glimpses of engagement but predominantly follows conventional tropes in Telugu cinema, appealing to audiences fond of rural emotional dramas".[20]

BVS Prakash of Deccan Chronicle rated the film 2/5 stars and stated that "The film showcases Satyadev's portrayal of a thug with realism and occasional innocence, but is hindered by a weak plot. Krishna Burugula, Lakhman Meesala deliver commendable performances, alongside Athira Raj's standout simplistic role".[21]

Avad Mohammad of OTT Play gave the film 2.5/5 stars and stated that "Krishnamma offers sporadic highlights within its revenge drama plotline, but its slow-paced first half and underwhelming climax hinder its overall impact".[22]

123 Telugu gave the film 2.75/5 stars and wrote "Krishnamma presents a revenge drama featuring Satyadev's performance, though its screenplay and emotional depth may not engage all viewers, catering mainly to fans of the genre".[23]
