Story:
Ajay (Mahesh Babu) is the son of Ex MLA Shankar Narayana (Prakash Raj), who is in a state of coma for fourteen years after meeting with a deadly accident. Shankar wants to see his son as a politician, serving the poor, but Ajay becomes a cop, who hunts a mafia don named Nayak (Sonu Sood). In the meantime Shankar Narayana comes to senses and the doctors advice Ajay to take good care of him as shocking things might upset his health again.
So Ajay rents their house, which is now occupied by a greedy person Padmasri (Brahmanandam) and starts playing a drama to keep his father happy. Ajay also comes to know that it was Nayak, who is the actual reason for his father’s current state. How he eliminates the sidekicks of Nayak and finally kills Nayak is the story.

Drawbacks:
Performances:
Mahesh Babu comes up with a good performance (I expected much more). He has put on some weight and looks chubby in certain scenes and even tries to dance for some tunes – much to the fan fare delight. His cop looks are stunning.
Samantha is just a waste in the movie. Looks like Seenu Vaitla has decided to use her only for the songs and stuff.
Brahmanandam steals the show. He shoulders the entire second half of the movie along with MS Narayana. Both, with their comedy timing and performance, made the movie entertaining and left something for the audience to cheer. Prakash Raj is at his usual best. Shiyaji Shinde, Sonu Sood, Kota, Dharmavarapu are all good.
Final Word: Dookudu is a perfect entertainer for holiday crowds; You can go and laugh for two hours.Worth watchin once.
