Plot
The film begins with Murali, a professional violinist who is an orphan. He falls for a playback singer, Shalini, and behinds her as white on rice. Howbeit, she loathes & disgraces his love when he states not to vex her anymore. Plus, a day arises when she will fall in love and proceed toward him. Parallelly, Murali gets acquainted with his childhood bestie, Mahalakshmi / Maha, and hears about her passion, Madhu. Once, he views Maha walking to a graveyard near Madhu's grave when she moves rearward. Madhu & Maha are turtle doves in the college; even Madhu's parents accept their match. Maha's father, Raghava Rao, is the arbitrator of their village who is stubborn and persistent. Suddenly, he fixes Maha's alliance and instructs her to right back. So, to abscond, by the notion of Madhu, Maha notifies her family that they have knitted. Additionally, they plan to register for marriage in the coming morning. Just before the wedding, tragically, Madhu dies in an accident.

Maha says she is moving abroad after getting the Visa to relieve this pain. Abruptly, the Police reach therein and apprehend them on suspicion. Therefore, to be free, Murali affirms Maha as his wife. When they get home, Maha's uncle Shankar Rao is lying ahead. He, too, misinterprets Murali as their son-in-law and asks them to accompany him. Now, Maha requests Murali to play her husband's role before her family. Since it is inevitable, Murali goes on to. Maha consists of a conjoined jollity family who gives them a warm welcome. Raghava Rao is red as he is still in denial of their nuptial. Besides, Srihari Maha's brother-in-law is debauchery and neglects his wife & children. On that account, Raghava Rao ostracizes him from the house. Murali reforms and joins him back.

Currently, many relations surround Murali that he craves, lacks his ability for joy, and suffocates. Hence, he receives hatred from the family to avoid being downcast when he leaves. Superfluously, it backfires, and he acquires their faith and affection. Thus, he hits the road, informing Maha, which dismays her because she developed a strange warmth with Murali. As it happens, he also thinks the same but forcibly continues. Yet, he is recouped due to a stroke when the loving-kindness flourishes between the two. Nevertheless, they are unbeknownst to their respective intentions. Apart from this, Shalini also blossoms a romantic flavor for Murali.

Meanwhile, Maha's grandmother senses the dramaturgy when, with a trick, she sets up their wedlock. Further, she pleads and swears an oath from Murali to espouse Maha. On the day of the merger, Shalini lands & panics, spotting Murali as bridegroom when she outbursts, steps aside, and Murali beyond her. Taking this into account, Raghava Rao misconstrues Murali. Alongside, Murali proclaims the actual state and his incapability of quitting Maha & her family. Listening to it, Shalini replies to retrieve, and he does so. Forthwith, enraged, Raghava Rao strikes, mortifies, and kicks him out. Ergo, Maha is quiet, grateful, and to succeed in Murali's love. Next, Shalini gets over and discerns Murali's endearment for her. Moreover, Maha's grandmother divulges the actuality when Raghava Rao repents and realizes the eminence of Murali. At last, the entire family rushes and hinders Murali when Maha confirms her love for him. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Murali & Maha.

Reception
A critic from Sify wrote that "Apart from the tear-jerking glycerine loaded scenes and the prolonged climax, the film fails to sustain viewer`s interest unless one can bear the sentimental stuff. Music by Keeravani doesn’t add any lustre to the movie either. The only attraction for the youth being the song sequences shot on Jagapathi Babu and Heera!" The film was also reviewed by Zamin Ryot.
