Somberi (transl. Lazy guy) is a 2008 IndianTelugu-language comedy drama film directed, written by poet Jonnavithula.Ali plays the lead role while Ruksha,Tanikella Bharani,M. S. Narayana,Dharmavarapu Subramanyam play other roles.
Sombabu(Ali), the only son of well-to-do farmers, is a pampered guy and a wastrel. His laziness is the talk of the town; though, as is usual with this kind of movies, the village folk are equally eloquent about his good nature.
Being a lout, Sombabu wastes his days roaming around the village with his four stooges, swindling foreigners in the guise of a tourist guide, and consuming liquor in buckets. On one such day, he chances upon Rohini (Ruksha), who has come to the village to do a project on the temple. He promptly falls in love with her, but dallies about proposing.
Meanwhile, a team of three villains (Jeeva,Jayaprakash Reddy,A.V.S. Subramanyam) covet the land belonging to Sombabu's parents. They hatch a plan to get Sombabu out of the way, the upshot of it being that our hero is imprisoned for stealing idols. The movie continues its meandering and mind-numbing path, and ends on an expected note.
A critic fromThe Hindu wrote that "One can give this film a miss".[1] A critic fromFull Hyderabad wrote that "Unless you are as jobless as the hero of this movie is, do not venture to watch this one".[2]
