Production

Vamsi Krishna, a former assistant director of Gautham Menon, had narrated Lakshmi Manchu the script of Dongaata shortly after joining the team of her production studio as an executive producer. The film, a con-drama, was shot on a tight budget and actors Adivi Sesh, Brahmanandam and Pragathi were signed to play supporting roles. The film was co-produced by Gandhi. [3]

A song was shot featuring several prominent Telugu actors in cameo appearances, dancing alongside Manchu.[4] The film's soundtrack was released at a ceremony in Hyderabad with actress Tamannaah as the chief guest.[5][6]

Release

The film won positive reviews, with Sify.com calling it a "decent movie with some nice thrills despite occasional double meaning dialogues." The critic added Manchu "is perfect in the role of a rich spoilt movie actress".[7] A reviewer from The Hindu also gave the film a positive review, adding it "starts off on a promising note; ends up being predictable", and that "what works for this comedy thriller though is the fact that it rests on the delicate shoulders of its heroine and does not celebrate the hero. It is an out-and-out Lakshmi Manchu show."[8]
