Raayanam’s plan is to build a shipping yard by razing the fishermen’s houses on the coast, one of whose is Aasi.
When Aasi is deeply in love with Bebamma, she falls in love with him too, after watching him in a fight at a market. Things keep going very well between them. They spend time together and get to know more about each other. One day, during the breeding season of the fish when there is no fisherman in the sea, Bebamma asks Aasi to take her to the sea. When they are on the boat in the sea, they run out of fuel and are stranded in the sea. Meanwhile, Raayanam gets worried for his daughter as she has not returned home yet. He tells Jalayya, Aasi’s father to find Bebamma and promises that he would not raze the houses in return. The next morning, Jalayya find both of them, but he does not tell Raayanam about Aasi being with her. However, Raayanm finds it out and sends his men to beat Aasi as he does not want the relationship to continue since Aasi is from a lower caste.
Hearing this, Bebamma feels sorry and approaches Aasi to elope somewhere far. They both go to Gangtok and manage to survive by doing some work.
But, Raayaanam’s men find them somehow and bring Bebamma back to the village while they castrate Aasi. Raayanam tells this to his daughter, thinking now she would not marry Aasi as he has now lost his manhood.

Uppena Movie Review-
The most admiring thing about the movie is the fact that the Director and both leads (Male and Female) are all debutants. It means that the audience would get to see new faces on the screen, plus the audience will get to watch a new style of direction from the debutant director! And so are the reviews and responses from the people. Although, the story is quite predictable.
Positives- A fresh pair is seen throughout the entire film which becomes the greatest asset of the movie. The roles played by both the debutant leads are appreciated by the audience as also the work of Vijay Sethupati is really phenomenal. He has given justice to the role of a villain. The director has done well to keep the viewers engaged. Another plus point of the movie is its songs. With 8 songs in it, the audience has loved them. Shamdat has done an excellent job in cinematography.
The film is one of the hittest films having debutant leads in it.
Negatives-The storyline of the movie is pretty common and predictable. Generally, rural love movies are on based on the same concept. The couple’s love is not accepted by families due to caste or class differences, and then both of them elope somewhere far away. Like most other films, the first half is interesting while the second half becomes a bit mundane and boring. The audience has said that it feels that the second half is a bit stretched.
