The plot follows three happy-go-lucky men who arrive in the city for a better life but land up in jail for a crime they didn't commit. Released theatrically on 11 March 2021, the film went on to become a blockbuster at the [[box office]].<ref name="saks" />

== Plot ==
Srikanth works in his father's ladies emporium in [[Jogipet]], however, he aspires to get an [[Information technology|IT]] job to earn respect from fellow villagers. He challenges his father that he would get a job in two months and leaves to [[Hyderabad]]. His unemployed friends, Sekhar and Ravi tag along with him. They struggle to find a house for rent in the city and but finally manage to move into an affluent apartment in [[Jubilee Hills]]. Srikanth falls for his neighbour Chitti, and she too likes him.

Meanwhile, Jana Balam Party makes a public announcement that all the ministerial positions will be given only to the deserving candidates, who must have some kind of experience in the field. Chanakya who has insider info about the upcoming Indo-Asian Games in the city manages to get sports ministry over his rival Ramachandra. Chanakya who also lives in the same apartment as Srikanth and his friends, hosts his birthday party. Srikanth gets a job after attending several interviews and the trio attends the party without an invitation. That night, Chanakya who is shot in his chest falls unconscious in their flat. Drunken Ravi pronounces him dead. While attempting to dispose of the body, they are caught red-handed by the police, who arrest them in the belief that they have a criminal history. Chanakya, however, is alive and to their surprise, he names them as the perpetrators. They are taken to the court to be tried. Chitti, a lawyer by profession who has no knowledge on the law, tries to prove their innocence but the judge is unconvinced. He postpones the judgment and sends them to jail.

Chanakya bails them out and his men take them to a den. Chanakya asks them the whereabouts of his mobile phone which Ravi used while they were trying to dispose of him. Ravi fails to recollect about the mobile. Srikanth overhears that they are going to be killed as soon as Chanakya gets hold of the mobile. They manage to escape and decide to find the mobile so that they can blackmail Chanakya to withdraw the case. They trace the mobile to their car's boot, only to find that the car is in Chanakya's den. While retrieving the mobile, Ravi gets trapped in the car which Chanakya's fans decide to burn as a mark of protest. The next day, Srikanth and Sekhar rescue Ravi. They challenge Chanakya's brother-in-law but the mobile accidentally falls in a tea kettle. As a last hope, they deliver the mobile to Chanakya's rival Ramachandra. But he double-crosses them and joins hands with Chanakya in exchange for money. They are sent to court again for the trial.

In a final attempt to save themselves, Srikanth fabricates a story that Chanakya is involved in a scam with [[Hong Kong]]-based businessmen, which everyone believes. The judge orders the police to unravel the conspiracy. In order to escape from the public outrage, the party pressurizes Chanakya to sever all his ties with Hong Kong and withdraw the case, which he obliges. Srikanth and his friends are acquitted of the crime. The Indo-Asian Games contract is given to Swatantra Electronics and Chanakya's political fan is taken into custody. Srikanth goes back to Jogipet to run his own ladies emporium and marries Chitti (who takes up job of providing legal opinions as an Advocate).

In the end, it's revealed that the mobile has a recording where Chanakya (The Sports Minister) claims to be a national champion in [[cricket]], in which he is a [[Goalkeeper (association football)|goalkeeper]].

==Reception==

=== Critical reception ===
Neeshita Nyayapati, writing for ''[[Times of India]]'' gave three stars out of five and termed it as "A madcap comedy featuring 'silly fools'." She opined that inspite of weak story, the one-liners that roll one after another keep you engrossed. She concluded the review calling "Jathi Rathnalu is a mixed bag" but worth for its comedy and the performances.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/jathi-ratnalu/movie-review/81446134.cms|title=Jathi Ratnalu Movie Review: A madcap comedy featuring 'silly fools'|first=Neeshita |last=Nyayapati
|date=11 March 2021|publisher=Times of India}}</ref> Hemanth Kumar in his review for ''[[Firstpost]]'' also gave three stars out of five and opined that the script of the film is packed with funny one-liners, and every scene is interesting. Though Kumar felt that the middle of the film was boring due to subplots, he praised the comic timing of Polishetty, Priyadarshi, and Ramakrishna. He concluded, "It is an unapologetic madcap entertainer, and does not hold itself back until the final moment."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/jathi-ratnalu-movie-review-naveen-polishetty-priyadarshi-rahul-ramakrishna-dazzle-in-an-unapologetic-madcap-entertainer-9403791.html|title=Jathi Ratnalu movie review: Naveen Polishetty, Priyadarshi, Rahul Ramakrishna dazzle in an unapologetic madcap entertainer|first=Hemanth |last=Kumar
|date=11 March 2021|publisher=Firstpost}}</ref>

[[Anupama Chopra]] of Film Companion wrote, "Writer-director Anudeep K.V. stitches together a sparkling comedy that is cheerfully silly without being lazy. The chemistry between the three will remind you of 3 Idiots and the absurd plot of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. The narrative veers into nonsensical but the inspired lunacy keeps it afloat – the jokes keep coming and they almost always land." <ref>{{cite web|first=Anupama|last=Chopra|url=https://www.filmcompanion.in/reviews/telugu-review/jathi-ratnalu-amazon-prime-review-the-infusion-of-good-cheer-you-need-right-now-naveen-polishetty-rahul-ramakrishna-priyadarshi/?utm_source=Wikipedia&utm_medium=April16&utm_campaign=JathiRatnaluReview|title=Jathi Ratnalu, On Prime Video, Is The Infusion Of Good Cheer You Need Right Now |accessdate=April 13, 2021|archive-date=April 13, 2021}}</ref>

''[[The Hindu]]'''s Sangeetha Devi Dundoo termed the film as "Nonsensical laugh riot". She agreed with Kumar and opined that story was weak as fun wore out in the second half due to the repetition of one-liners. She praised the performances of the lead cast and felt that final courtroom scenes were the highlight of the film, though she would have preferred a shorter film and fewer sub-plots in the post-intermission narrative.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/jathi-ratnalu-review/article34043846.ece|title='Jathi Ratnalu' movie review: Nonsensical laugh riot|first= Sangeetha Devi| last = Dundoo |date=11 March 2021 |work=The Hindu}}</ref> Gabbeta Ranjith Kumar writing for ''[[The Indian Express]]'' praised the performance of [[Naveen Polishetty]] for his comedy timings and the chemistry with Priyadarshi and Rahul Ramakrishna. Ranjith Kumar contented, "Practically every dialogue leads to laughs, making the film one of the finest comedies to have come out of [[Telugu cinema|Tollywood]] in a long time."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/telugu/tollywood-movie-review/jathi-ratnalu-movie-review-naveen-polishetty-film-is-one-of-the-finest-comedies-of-the-year-7224091/|title=Jathi Ratnalu movie review: Naveen Polishetty film is one of the finest comedies of the year |first= Gabbeta| last = Ranjith Kumar |date=11 March 2021|access-date=13 March 2021 |publisher=The Indian Express}}</ref>
