Wikipedia article
'Fools' is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy film directed by Dasari Narayana Rao and starring himself, Srinath and Gajala. The film is inspired by the Malayalam film 'Godfather' although that film had already been remade into Telugu.
Plot
Deepti's parents played by Krishna and Jayasudha accuse her of being in love. Although Deepti is not in love, she runs into Narasimha Rao and falls in love with him to make her parent's accusation true. Narasimha Rao is part of a large family headed by his father, A. V. Narasimha Naidu, that includes five brothers (Ranga, Rajarao, Subbarao, Apparao, himself) and a sister. Narasimha Naidu did not marry off his sons because he wanted to find the perfect girl for them. However, his daughter was ostracized from the family after running away with another man. When Deepti and Narasimha Rao realize that they are part of the same family because Narasimha Rao's sister is Deepti's mother, they try to reunite the family.

Reception
Gudipoodi Srihari of 'The Hindu' said that "This is a full-length comedy, enjoyable almost throughout its run with Dasari at the helm. He handles the subject well as its director. Newcomer Srinath acts with ease". A critic from 'Sify' wrote that "The film looks too jaded with an old fashioned story. There`s nothing new in the way the film is packaged". Manju Latha Kalanidhi of 'Full Hyderabad' opined that the film's plot is "flimsy" and non-existent.
