	Divakaram is a videographer from [[Rajahmundry]] who arrives in [[Vizianagaram]] to video-shoot a wedding. He sees Bhuvaneswari there and falls head over heels in love. By getting hold of her uncle Jagannatham, Divakaram learns that she respects only people who are self-sufficient and straightforward. He also finds out that she is unmarried and would soon be transferred to Rajahmundry as a part of her job. In order to impress her, Divakaram decides to open a [[video rental shop]] and appear as a well-settled man. He returns to Rajahmundry and gets permission from Dr. Krupa Mani, who raised him as her foster child, to use the front veranda in her house for his shop. In order to secure the capital, he uses all kinds of gimmicks. He blackmails Bhagyam, cheats Chinna Rao, and [[Chit fund\|claims a chit]] which he never was a member of, and so on. Finally, Divakaram opens the video shop.		Divakaram is a videographer from [[Rajahmundry]] who arrives in [[Vizianagaram]] to video-shoot a wedding.

== Reception ==
K writing for [[Sakshi (newspaper)|''Sakshi'']] in February 2017, appreciated the writing of Vamsy and the performance of Rajendra Prasad. K noted the similarity between ''April 1 Vidudala'' and the American film ''[[Liar Liar]]'' (1997) which is also shares a similar plot point, where the protagonist who is habituated to lying starts speaking truth.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-05-19|title=మోసకారి బతుకు నుంచి బయటపడేసే|url=https://www.sakshi.com/news/family/special-story-to-april-1na-vidudala-477109|access-date=2021-01-06|website=Sakshi|language=te}}</ref>
