Plot
The film begins with Krishna Murthy / Kittu, a famous Sitar player with a risk appetite for bets for easy money. Pandem Chandrendra Rao Naidu / Chandram constantly challenges him with the guidance of his elder Hari. Once, he bets Kittu for three lakhs that he should make three arduous girls, Bhavani, Jhansi, & Jogeshwari Devi, fall in love. Bhavani is a student who hates men and fights for the welfare of women. In contrast, Jhansi is an audacious police officer who neglects to wed. Plus, Jogeshwari Devi is an ascetic who has been forcibly turned into the form by vicious Bhairavaiah for the gravy train. Now Kittu takes up the venture.

Firstly, he targets Bhavani by posing himself as a social worker. He also counterfeits his sidekick Ahobilam into a goon, Khan Dada, when she falls in love. The next, Kittu schemes, kidnaps Jhansi's kid brother Jakki via a goon and pretends to save him. But the boy gazes at the fact when he sees Kittu giving money to the goon and apprises his sister. So, Jhansi arrests Kittu when he announces his love, and she batters him. Later, she regrets and dears him. Lastly, Kittu approaches Jogeswari Devi and allures her with his words when she, too, loves him. After a while, Bhavani overhears the conversation between Kittu & Ahobilam and understands how they have fooled her. She becomes furious and hires a goon, Malli, to hit Kittu. Anyhow, the scene opposes when Malli attempts to molest Bhavani and is safeguarded by Kittu when she asks for an apology.

Ultimately, the day arrives, and Kittu declares to Chandram that he has succeeded in the mission when he asks to prove it. Hence, Kittu calls the 3 to Golkonda at different times. Here, he states the girls sculpt their names along with his on the walls of tombs and proclaim their love. Bhavani & Jhansi accomplish the task and move on. In Devi's turn, Bhairavaiah & Hari shot her, and she leaves the breath, expressing her love. Kittu absconds, but the miscreants incriminate him, and Jhansi is assigned to investigate the crime. Bhairavaiah shows the names on walls as evidence when Jhani misconstrues Kittu as debauchery and hunts him. Simultaneously, Kittu goes to Chandram to vindicate himself, where he discovers Hari & Bhairavaiah as the actual homicides and onslaughts on them. Jhansi lands there, and Kittu escapes to Bhavani's home, who hides him, believing in his morality. Thenceforth, Kittu proceeds to a hospital. Through Ahobilam, Jhansi learns the whereabouts of Kittu; she, too, reaches that place, and Bhavani back her.

On the spot, Jhansi inculpates Kittu and questions his motive for these love dramas. Then, as a flabbergast, he asserts himself as a married guy, the father of a baby also, and moves rearward. Kittu used to adore a girl, Swapna, granddaughter of millionaire Gajapati, who opposes it because of status-barrier. Swapna quits the house and nuptials Kittu, who leads a delightful life and becomes pregnant. Hari & Chandram are Swapna's cousins who aspire to grab her property. So, he ruses assault Swapna with his men, and she dies giving birth to a mentally unstable baby. Currently, Kittu affirms to Jhansi & Bhavani that he has accepted this bet to secure his terminally ill daughter. It seems Hari is the one who instigated Chandram and ployed this play since Gajapati endorsed the entire property to Swapna and her progeny before his death. Forthwith, Hari & Bhairavaiah abduct the baby and seek to kill her. At last, Kittu rescues and recovers his child by ceasing the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Kittu fusing with the two.

Production
First, only three heroines were included in the story, but later the role of Swapna was included. Divya Bharti & Meena were selected for two female roles respectively. But Bharti's death and Meena's unavailability led to the casting of Soundarya and Rambha. K. Raghavendra Rao wanted to cast Kamal Haasan for the lead role, but as it has multi heroines, Raghavendra Rao convinced himself that Jagapati Babu was suitable for the role. It was a big budget film of that time.
