Plot

Kalicharan is a local racketeer, who organises a cricket betting club as a bookie. His orphaned background made him insensitive and ruthless. He tortures and humiliates whoever tries to evade paying their debts. He maintains a private life and has a secret and kills everyone who discovers it.

Three friends - Jai, Vicky, and Rocky - who emerged from their birth date, April 1, always fall in trouble with their stupid actions, yet they consider themselves smart. They cannot tolerate if anybody calls or makes them fools. On his new job as bank recovery agent to collect the debts, Jai meets a beautiful girl, Sasi, and immediately falls for her. Sasi is educated and ambitious. It is her dream to become an entrepreneur like Chanda Kochhar and Indra Nooyi. She sets up a start-up company but loses all her money. In the process of creating a new start-up, she manages her lifestyle privately. In pursuance, Jay and Sasi formulate tit-for-tat plans and finally become friends. The three friends offer her a quick-money opportunity with bitcoins, but they lose the money.

To earn back her love and money, the boys go for cricket betting, which Kali organizes. Initially they win, but eventually they start losing all the bets and are in 1 crore debt to Kali. The boys are worried and do not know how to repay it. Soon, they realize that they were fooled by Kali and decide to take revenge by robbing him. When they enter Kalicharan’s mahal, they see a ghost who is Kali’s lifeline. The boys realize that Kali is practically living with the ghost. They are frightened and flee from the Mahal.

Release

A critic from 123Telugu wrote that "On the whole, Edaina Jaragochu is a horror crime-comedy which impresses in parts. Passable first half and good performances from Bobby Simha and Sashi Singh will keep the proceedings engaging. But on the flip side, the slow-paced lengthy second half makes it a below-average fare at the box office".^[5] But on OTT platforms, the audience critically well received.
