== Plot ==
{{More plot|date=June 2021}}
Several years ago in Vijayawada, a kid, Duvvada Jagannadham, is frustrated that his father was insulted. He is inspired by the teachings of his grandfather that only the good deeds has to be visible and the person who does that doesn't have to come in light. Two weeks later in [[Monda Market]], Secunderabad, he saves a cop, Purushottam, from the attack of gangsters, by shooting them. At the police station, he shoots another criminal and convinces Purushottam that bad people should be killed. Seeing the quality of a rebellion in the kid, Purushottam agrees to eliminate criminals with his help. Jagannadham kills several high-profile gangsters. Purushottam creates a new fictional gangster named DJ and attributes the killings to him.

In present-day, Duvvada Jagannadham Shastri is a cook working as a caterer in Vijayawada along with his family. Jagannadham falls in love with Pooja, the daughter of corrupt Home Minister Pushpam, involved with yet another crime lord, Royyala Naidu. Royyala Naidu operates Naidu Industries and the Agro Diamond Financing company in disguise. On the other hand, DJ decides to take on Royyala Naidu in his mission but does not know who he is in actual life. The rest of the story is about how DJ uses Royyala Naidu's son Royyala Avinash, who suffers with [[histrionic personality disorder]], and through him, DJ destroys Royyala Naidu's mafia empire, thereby rescuing the Agro Diamond scam victims.

== Reception ==
Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of ''[[The Hindu]]'' stated "The film could have been much more gripping but for being punctuated with a handful of songs, quite a few high-decibel ones at that. At 156 minutes, ''DJ'' is bloated and loses its tempo now and then. While some of the dialogues are fun, others make you cringe. In a conversation between Allu Arjun, posing as a groom, and Pooja Hegde posing as a bride, she tells him that she wouldn’t want to have kids for two years. To this he answers that he doesn’t wear socks even on his feet, forget about anywhere else!"<ref>{{Cite news|last=Dundoo|first=Sangeetha Devi|date=23 June 2017|title=Duvvada Jagannatham review: Gentleman DJ!|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/duvvada-jagannatham-review/article19132813.ece|access-date=1 January 2021|issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Hemanth Kumar of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave 2.5 stars rating out of 5 and wrote that "The point is when you try making a new recipe, it’s not merely enough to have all the right ingredients. You’ve to know when to switch off the flame. In the end, when you think about this DJ, it just gets loud, louder, loudest. Thumbs down. But hey, Allu Arjun still dances like a dream!"<ref>{{Cite web|date=23 June 2017|title=Duvvada Jagannadham movie review : Allu Arjun dances like a dream; film is loud, inconsistent - Entertainment News , Firstpost|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/duvvada-jagannadham-movie-review-allu-arjun-dances-like-a-dream-film-is-loud-inconsistent-3738059.html|access-date=1 January 2021|website=Firstpost}}</ref>

Srivatsan of ''[[India Today]]'' wrote that "We get the fact that the masala is very important for this genre. But the scenes that are supposed to leave you misty-eyed end up as comic relief. Jokes fall flat and the mass action blocks are not enough. At the same time, it's impossible to write off Allu Arjun. He's effective in bits; especially when the director wants him to dance and send goons into the air. Someone said that Allu Arjun's body is made of rubber and there can't be a better description. The problem with Duvvada Jagannadham is its half-baked story, which is everything we've seen in Allu Arjun's films earlier. To keep up with DJ's style, Duvvada Jagannadham is "Boring-ah, bore-asya, bore-obiah".<ref>{{Cite web|date=23 June 2017|last=Srivatsan|title=Duvvada Jagannadham movie review: Allu Arjun's film is unimaginably violent|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/reviews/story/duvvada-jagannadham-movie-review-allu-arjun-pooja-hegde-984381-2017-06-23|access-date=1 January 2021|website=India Today|language=en}}</ref>
