Arjun, who is famous for his villainous streak and attitude, feels he has lost his mean game and decides to become a villain in real life so that he can gain his mean streak back.

Reception

A critic from 123telugu rated the film two and one-fourth out of five stars and wrote that "Kathalo Rajakumari is yet another disappointing outing from Nara Rohit. Though the first half is okay with some passable moments, the second half completely disappoints the audience with its boring and slow paced narration." A critic from The Times of India rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "the whole film seems like something only a child could dream up, with trivial incidents leading to catastrophic consequences." A critic from Firstpost wrote that "Nara Rohith, Naga Shourya's film is avoidable at best".
