Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam by Lakshman Karya rides on this interesting premise and shapes itself as a comedy romp that wants to entertain and engage at the same time.

It borrows the core idea from the real-life occurrence, wherein, nearly 2,000 DSC qualifiers were denied jobs in Andhra Pradesh, triggering a court case that lasted 25 years.

The protagonist here is one among them but his attempt to be part of a government institution— the RTO, a bank or whatever it may be—actually dates back to a decade prior.

Nothing ever comes to fruition and our middle-aged guy, with his 25-year-old son Arjun as his ally and wingman, still looks forward to coming of age.

The romance portion featuring Ankith Koyya and Ramya Pasupuleti is one such major distraction.

Maruthi Nagar Subramanyam could perhaps still be enjoyed if you can overlook all the writing shortcomings, but the problem is there are a few too many of them to ignore.
