Andarivaadu: Man of the Masses (transl. Everyone's man) is a 2005 India Telugu-language action comedy drama film directed by Srinu Vytla. The film stars Chiranjeevi, Tabu, Rimi Sen, and Rakshita while Prakash Raj,Sunil and Pradeep Rawat play supporting roles.
Plot
Govindarajulu alias Govindu is a mesthri (construction worker) who drinks a lot and lives a carefree life. On the other hand, his son Siddartha alias Siddhu is a popular TV show host and a very disciplined man — the opposite of his father. Siddhu gets Govindu married to Shanti to sober him.
Siddhu is in love with Swetha, the daughter of a big-time contractor named Veerendra. Veerendra happens to be a childhood friend of Govindu, but currently dislikes him due to his behaviour and social status. He agrees to get Swetha married to Siddhu but tells Govindu that in order for the marriage to take place, he must distance himself from Siddhu, because Veerendra does not like Govindu's influence on Siddhu. Govindu, being the loving and caring father that he is, decides to fake kicking Siddhu out of the house so that the latter can marry Swetha.
At the engagement, though, Siddhu publicly reveals the condition that Veerendra has given. It is revealed that Govindu's friend had told Siddhu about the condition, and Siddhu walks out of the engagement party with Govindu. When Veerendra complains about his reputation being ruined, Swetha decides to separate Govindu and Siddhu to get revenge. She begs Govindu to forgive her and take her as his daughter-in-law, as she had not known about Veerendra's condition. Govindu says that if Siddhu wants her, then he is willing to have her in the house because he holds no grudge and wants Siddu to be happy. Siddhu decides that as long as Govindu is happy, he is too, and agrees to marry Swetha.
Meanwhile, Govindu has differences with a big-time rowdy and contractor named Satti Pehelwan. Swetha moves into the house and starts creating differences between Govindu and Siddhu with the help of her cousin Sathi Babu, but she fails miserably each time. The rest of the film revolves around whether she succeeds in her schemes.

Reception
B. Anuradha of Rediff.com wrote "Barring some rib-tickling comedy, the much-hyped Andharivadu is a huge disappointment as it lacks a good storyline."[1] A reviewer from Sify also echoed the same and stated: "There is nothing new as far as presentation goes and on the whole it is a damp squib. A Chiranjeevi film will work only if his larger-than-life image is given a new twist with something freash in treatment and director Seenu Vytla has not been able to provide the necessary punch."[2]
