New to the city, Kumari lives with her semi-paralysed grandfather who can't talk properly. There is even a song where the hero is seen wondering if the girl has loose morals, much as in 'Jagadam'. Kumari (Heebah Patel) has this puzzling behaviour, she is an extension of the 'Jagadam' girl, in fact a better version of her. Siddhu is the son of a separated mother, doesn't like his father, who has ditched them for another woman, and he finds escapism in his three friends, played by Noel Sean, Naveen Neni, and Sudarshan. (There are many places where it is clear that the idea took birth in the late 1990s or early 2000s). He begins narrating his story, set in a low-end colony, much as in Jagadam. Despite being beaten to the pulp, he won't tell the truth about his friends' whereabouts. The film begins with Siddhu (Raj Tarun) being taken to custody by an angry cop. As with Jagadam, the sub-plot is either unsettling or ennui-inducing at best. 'Kumari 21F' is a stretch of a single line, but the climax throws up a surprise (or shock, if you would have it) that is more difficult to understand than to accept. Having been written by Sukumar, the youth were expected to brace it up. This film has that adult comedy style title that it is not surprising that this Sukumar-written film has garnered so much of craze.
