What happens

Jamba Lakidi Pamba is a 1992 Indian Telugu-language fantasy comedy film written and directed by E. V. V. Satyanarayana. The film stars Naresh and Aamani (in her Telugu film debut). The film explores feminism and women's rights in a light-hearted manner and depicts the consequences when the male and female gender roles are reversed. The film is based on an old story EVV conceptualized while working under Jandhyala as an assistant director. It is also inspired by a play written by Madireddy Sulochana. EVV took the basic theme of Sulochana's play and his old story and developed it into the script of Jamba Lakidi Pamba. The film was initially released in 1992 but went unnoticed. It was re-released on 12 July 1993 and became a commercial success. The film was remade in Kannada as Nari Munidare Gandu Parari (2004). The 2018 film of the same name is also based on the concept of Jamba Lakidi Pamba. Yashraj Films made a program series named Man's world on YouTube, which is inspired from the film.
