Fate lets two boys who exchange the same birthdays eventually exchange their parents too, of course without their own knowledge. The story of Ala Vaikunthapurramluloo revolves around the life of Bantu who is clueless as to why his cold-hearted father looks down upon him constantly and the life of Raju who has a millionaire father questioning his son’s lack of confidence and acumen.

The drama surrounding the discovery of truth that the boys were swapped in the hospital bed as infants and the confrontation that follows forms the premise of the family drama. Though the film might be flawed, it is what you call a perfect masala entertainer. And I don't have to tell you about the viral song 'Butta Bomma' in the film, or should I, only if you've lived under a cave all this time?
