Plot

The film begins with a misandrist, Ranganayaki, who confidently believes all hands are slickers through her straight knowledge. She marionettes her younger sister, naïve Chinni, in her footsteps. Satyanarayana, a happy-go-lucky guy, works as an employee in a company owned by a crazy couple, Ammaji & Brahmaji. He acquits Chinni in silly scenes and the two crush. So, Satyanarayana proceeds with the bridal connections to Ranganayaki, stipulates specific rules, and scrutinizes him. Satyanayana grasps & triumphs in it, and she knits the turtle doves. Next, Ranganayaki unclean Chinni’s thoughts about her husband, and she nags Satyanarayana with fishy in the daily routine, which ends hilariously.

Once Satyanarayana moves to Vizag, on an official camp where he meets his soulmate, Radha Krishna, he gets him to his fiancé Sona. Being they are orphans, Satyanarayana sets foot to conduct their nuptial. Just before, tragically, Radha leaves his breath while guarding Satyanarayana. Now, as a kin, he accepts Sona’s responsibility, and she carries Radha’s baby. Anyhow, worried about Chinni & her elder Satyanarayana puts her at the company guest house and juggles in between. Chinni also conceives, and both give birth to baby boys.

Meanwhile, the truth appears before the ladies via Brahmaji, and they advance to Sona. Whereat, Chinni creates a big fuss by attributing shame to Satyanarayana & Sona. It hikes day by day, and the shrew subjects her husband to extreme agony with a depraved sense given by Ranganayaki mentally. Ultimately, Chinni seeks divorce, which Satyanayana denies, so she coerces him to tie the knot with Sona. Thus, he forwards to do so when Sona slaps him. Brahmaji lands therein and rebukes Satyanarayana, who proclaims his motive is to awaken the foolish souls about their sacred relationship. Following this, Sona attempts self-sacrifice when regretful Chinni changes her intention by showing her baby and pleading for pardon. At last, everyone lashes out at Ranganayaki, and she eats humble pie. Finally, the movie ends happily.
