Three friends - Jai, Vicky, and Rocky - who emerged from their birth date, April 1, always fall in trouble with their stupid actions, yet they consider themselves smart. They cannot tolerate if anybody calls or makes them fools. On his new job as a bank recovery agent to collect the debts, Jai meets a beautiful girl, Sasi, and immediately falls for her.

In the process of creating a new startup, she manages her lifestyle privately. In pursuance, Jay and Sasi formulate tit-for-tat plans and finally become friends.

Release

A critic from 123Telugu wrote that "On the whole, Edaina Jaragochu is a horror crime-comedy which impresses in parts. Passable first half and good performances from Bobby Simha and Sashi Singh will keep the proceedings engaging. But on the flip side, the slow-paced lengthy second half makes it a below-average fare at the box office".^[5] But on OTT platforms, the audience critically well received.
