The album received positive reviews from critics. 123Telugu in their review stated it as, Thaman has been criticized for scoring those routine numbers with his trade mark drum beats. But one should not forget that he always comes up with some chart topping songs all the time. Same is the case with Sarainodu too. Thaman sticks to the formula and gives what is the need of the hour, some foot tapping hit numbers. Blockbuster, You are my MLA, Telusa Telusa and Atiloka Sundari are our picks and will become huge hits. Finally, like always, Allu Arjun has a thumping music album where he can show off his crazy dance moves and impress everyone like the way this album does.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.123telugu.com/reviews/sarainodu-music-review.html|title=Sarrainodu Music Review {{!}} Sarrainodu Audio Review {{!}} Allu Arjun Sarrainodu Music Review {{!}} Sarrainodu Audio Songs Review {{!}} Sarrainodu Songs Review {{!}} Sarrainodu Cinema Audio Review {{!}} Sarrainodu Movie Songs Review|date=2 April 2016|website=123telugu.com|language=en|access-date=10 November 2019}}</ref> Behindwoods rated the album 2.75 out of 5 and stated it as "Sarrainodu is another fun filled album for Allu Arjun from S.S.Thaman.

Sarrainodu (transl. The right guy) is a 2016 Indian Telugu-language action film directed by Boyapati Srinu and produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts. The film stars Allu Arjun, alongside Aadhi Pinisetty, Rakul Preet Singh, Catherine Tresa, Srikanth, Brahmanandam, P. Sai Kumar, Jayaprakash, Pradeep Rawat, Suman and Adarsh Balakrishna. The music was composed by S. Thaman, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Rishi Punjabi and Kotagiri Venkateshwara Rao.

Sarrainodu was released on 22 April 2016 to positive reviews from critics and became the 2nd highest grossing Telugu film of 2016, grossing over ₹127.60 crore at the box office. It was subsequently dubbed into Malayalam as Yodhavu and was released in Kerala a month after the original version.[2] The core plot was reported to be loosely based on the 2004 film Walking Tall.[3]

Plot

Gana, an ex-Indian Army Major, is raised by his paternal uncle Sripathi and is berated by his father Umapathi for leaving the army and not having an aim in life. Gana is sent to a neighboring village to meet his prospective bride Mahalakshmi Jaanu, the daughter of Umapathi's friend Jaya Prakash, an ex-IAS officer. However, Gana meets MLA Hansitha Reddy and falls for her. Gana tells an imaginary story to Umapathi that Jaanu rejected him due to his involvement in fights.

Meanwhile, Vairam Dhanush, the son of Chief Minister Reddy, meets Paddam Veerendra, a spoilt brat. Veerendra and his rich father seeks Dhanush's help as Veerendra assaulted and killed a girl in a drug overdose. The girl's parents seek Hansitha's help when they file the petition in the court. Due to the lack of evidence and the embarrassment faced in the court, the girl's parents commit suicide. An enraged Gana thrashes Dhanush's lawyer Govindaraju and chops Veerendra's legs, which enrages Dhanush. After learning about his actions, Hansitha falls for Gana and promises to marry him if he swears in the presence of God that he will not indulge in violence.

When Gana is about to take the oath at the temple, a badly injured Jaanu arrives, running from Dhanush's henchmen who are trying to kill her. Gana thrashes the thugs and protects Jaanu. At Gana's house, Jaanu reveals that she did not reject Gana. Gana had arrived at Jaanu's village and had saved her from Obul Reddy, Dhanush's henchmen, and later declined the marriage. Jaanu explains that Dhanush had tried to blackmail Jaya Prakash as he had been protecting farmers so that they would not have to sell their lands for the laying down of oil pipelines. This incident infuriated Dhanush, who killed the farmers, but Jaanu intervened and insulted Dhanush.

Dhanush killed Jaya Prakash and tried to kill Jaanu, but she narrowly escaped and was in search of Gana for days. After learning this, Gana goes to Dhanush's house, where he battles with his henchmen and tries to burn Dhanush alive, but Dhanush escapes. Gana is questioned for the attack, but claims that other people had thrashed Dhanush. Eventually, Obul Reddy reveals the truth about the atrocities that Dhanush had committed in the village, and the media is thrown into an uproar. Dhanush arrives at DGP Mallikarjun's office to surrender but ends up shooting Mallikarjun and tries to kill Umapati, but Sripati takes the bullet and is left for dead. Reddy stops Dhanush from shooting anyone and tells Umapati to call Gana and make him surrender to Dhanush.

Gana arrives and is told that Sripati will be saved if he surrenders, Gana does so and is stabbed by Dhanush and his men. Umapathi tells Reddy that if Sripathi is dead, then Reddy and Dhanush will be dead. Reddy tells Dhanush to kill Sripati and an enraged Gana kills Reddy's bodyguards and assasinates Reddy. Gana fights Dhanush and decapitates him with an axe. Later, Gana and Mallikarjun tell a cover story to the media that Reddy and Dhanush were killed while trying to protect Mallikarjun from unknown terrorists. Gana announces Hansitha as a new candidate to become the new CM.

It is Rakul Preet Singh's first collaboration with Allu Arjun and Catherine Tresa's third collaboration with Allu Arjun after Iddarammayilatho and Rudhramadevi. Aadhi Pinisetty was chosen as the main antagonist, while Srikanth, P. Sai Kumar, Suman and Jayaprakash were chosen for important roles. Priyamani, Anushka Shetty and Disha Patani were reported to have been approached for a cameo appearance in a song, but it was Anjali who made an appearance.[4][5][6]

    Release
