'Juniors', Subject of the movie is different but the script is poorly written. Many kids leave home and turn street children care of platform, because of the attitude of their parents. They develop a negative attitude towards their parents and come to a conclusion that it would be better if they leave home. There are many vulgar dialogues and scenes in the film.
Mahesh (Naresh) is the son of a fish-seller (Tanikella Bharani). Puja (Shareen) is the daughter of a businessman (Vizag Prasad). Both of them are childhood friends. Their group in the college include three more boys and three more girls. While, Mahesh's father always forces his wife to share bed with him, despite Mahesh is awake. Puja's father had another peculiar mentality of suspecting everyone, whether it is his daughter or wife. Mahesh suffers with typical adolescent mentality of watching the 'sizes and curves' of girls.

Their friends had also face problems in their houses, like one boy's father keeps the servant maid as his second wife, another's father had a sadist mentality of harassing his son for petty things. The girls in their group also face some problems. While one girl turns a drug addict, as no one is there to watch her welfare with her father staying in Dubai and mother in Singapore.
At one stage, all the friends decide to keep themselves off from their houses unable to bear the attitude of their parents. After they leave their houses, they stay in a lodge only to get caught by the police. Later they go to a secluded place and construct a small hut for themselves and stay there. To eke out livelihood, they join different jobs. At one delicate moment, Mahesh and Puja get united. One of their friends, who noticed change in their behaviour questions Puja as to what had happened. When she was about to ask Mahesh, Puja gets kidnapped by a villain (GV) and in the process of saving her, a boy gets killed in the hands of the kidnapper.
At this point, their principal (Prakashraj) comes to their rescue and take them with him. He teaches the parents how to behave in front of the children and what not to be done. He explains why and how the children leave home and turn beggars, criminals and anti-social elements. In the climax, both the hero and heroine attempt suicide and escape from the jaws of death with the help of the same principal again.
New director and also partner of this film J.Pulla Rao tried to attempt and take a good subject in his first film but it seems he gave more importance to the cheap techniques rather than the improtant message, to attract youg boys and girls...he failed to succeed at his first attempt. All the juniors gave an average performance. Music by chakri is not impressive.
