After the success of the folklore film ''[[Kanchu Kota]]'' (1967), its producer U. Visweswara Rao and director [[C. S. Rao]] decided to make their next venture a contemporary film under the same banner Manjula Cine Syndicate. ''Kanchu Kota''{{'}}s lead actors N. T. Rama Rao and Devika were retained for the new film, titled ''Niluvu Dopindi''. Visweswara Rao wrote the story which [[Tripuraneni Maharadhi]], the film's dialogue writer, read and noticed was strongly influenced by ''[[Gundamma Katha]]'' (1962). Maharadhi felt Visweswara Rao's story was out-dated, so he reworked it to its final form. Visweswara Rao's initial choice for the second male lead was [[Sobhan Babu]], but later chose [[Krishna (Telugu actor)|Krishna]] at the insistence of Maharadhi, who felt he would match Rama Rao's "jubilance". Jayalalithaa was cast as the second female lead, paired alongside Krishna. [[Kanta Rao]], who appeared in ''Kanchu Kota'', was dismayed upon realising there was no role for him in ''Niluvu Dopidi'' and insisted on an appearance.

Niluvu Dopidi (lit. 'Complete offer') is a 1968 Indian Telugu-language comedy-drama film, produced by U. Visweswara Rao and directed by C. S. Rao. It stars N. T. Rama Rao, Krishna, Devika and Jayalalithaa in the lead roles. The film was released on 25 January 1968 and became a commercial success.
Plot
The zamindar of Rangapuram, before dying, hands over his sons Ramu and Krishna to his sisters Chukamma and Sheshamma. Sheshamma is innocent, while Chukkamma is money-minded and wants to grab the entire property. She plans, along with her distant relative Bhushanam, to kill the boys. Fortunately, the boys are saved by Chukkamma’s husband Venkataramaiah, who lands them in an ashram. 20 years later, Ramu works a mechanic and Krishna is a college student. Unknown to them, Sheshamma's daughter Janaki and Chukkamma's daughter Radha stay in the same town. Ramu loves Janaki and Krishna loves Radha. At Rangapuram, Chukkamma is enjoying the property and Bhushanam becomes the president of the village who plans to arrange his son Raju’s marriage with Radha. Bhushanam learns of Radha and Krishna's love affair, so he beats Krishna in front of everyone. Enraged on learning this, Ramu rushes towards Bhushanam and tries to kill him, but stops on seeing the picture of the ashram founder. Ramu tells Swamiji, the orphanage head regarding the picture he reveals that they are children of the ashram founder. Now Ramu and Krishna reach Rangapuram in disguise, see the end of Bhushanam and teach a lesson to Chukkamma. The film ends with Ramu marrying Janaki, and Krishna marrying Radha.
