Plot
Mass is an orphan, who bonds well with his landlord's son Adi. Mass is in love with a college student Anjali, who happens to be the daughter of Vizag city's gangster Satya. This restricts her from falling for him, as it would land him in danger, but she finally gives in after some time.
Anjali suggests Mass to tie the knot immediately before her brother Seshu and Satya tries to separate them. They decide to elope and get married in a temple the very next day. While on their way to the temple, where Anjali is waiting, Mass realises that he forgot to bring his late mother's picture. Mass goes back to get the picture while Adi reaches the temple. As Adi reaches the temple, he finds that Anjali's brother Seshu is forcing her to abandon Mass and return with him. Seshu kills Adi when he tries to stop him from taking Anjali away.
Later, Mass moves into Vizag and stays in an apartment hiding his identity to exact vengeance on Satya and Seshu. After many hurdles, Mass finally eliminates Satya and Seshu, thus avenging Adi's death and finally marrying Anjali.
Music composed by Devi Sri Prasad and was released on ADITYA Music Company. The audio was released in an entertaining function held at Taramati Baradari (Golkonda).[4]
A critic from Sify wrote that "Mass, at best packs in sufficient thrills to add up to a fairly engrossing entertainer, which keeps the popcorn popping".[6] Jeevi of Idlebrain.com wrote that "There are no boring moments in this 2.45 hour film though. You should watch Mass on the big screen to enjoy the charming Nag in his new avatar".[7]
