Plot
The film begins with a nuptial eve where a young charm, Jagapati, crushes on a lavish woman, Urmila, who imagines a luxurious world. Jagapati seeks to acquire her love and gain the details that she is a lecturer in a college. Fortuitously, Jagapati met with an accident when Balu, a newly appointed lecturer therein, is admitted to the hospital and falls unconscious for a few days. So, Jagapati enrolls in his post and drives his trail with his acolyte Babji's aid, but rapacious Urmila dismisses it, considering him a bourgeoisie. Amidst, Balu recoups when Jagapati & Babji wangle by brainwashing him into a peon and coming out of a coma after ten years. Babji resides with his shrew wife, Sujikutti, who constantly brawls because of his stupid acts, and the two remain jobless.

Meanwhile, the truth appears at the college when Urmila places Jagapati behind bars. Soon, she learns he is the son of a tycoon, Pichiswara Rao, accepts his love for the axe of grind and convinces him to marry lest his parents stop him. However, Pichiswara Rao realizes her character, and he shunts them. Jagapati picks up a job in a company headed by charming Nisha and rents a portion of a shared compound. Anyhow, she nags him for her expenses beyond his earnings. As a glimpse, Abu, a thief, Jagapati's neighbor, makes a heist and hides the treasure at Urmila before the Police imprison him. Urmila attempts to goad her husband to mend fences with his father when she throws Jagapati into colossal debt. Thus, the couple fights big, which leads to divorce. In the court, she accepts herself as greedy because of her mother's life, who died out of poverty as the daughter of a millionaire for marrying a destitute. Here, the judge rejects her claim; they must wait one year to file for divorce since they are newlywed. He makes them live under one roof under the surveillance of an Aaya Mandhara, along with the seven commandments. Eventually, Babji & Sujikutti accompany them.

Just after, Urmila retrieved her grandfather's property of ₹1 crore through his stanch Tirupati & his son Pasupati, stipulating she & her husband signed the documents. Urmila tries to tame Jagapati, but it is in vain, so she forges Babji as her husband. A confusing drama begins involving many characters: Abu backs for his belongings when Urmila asks him to hold on until she gains her assets. The roleplay fakes Sujikutti as Jagapati's sister and Nisha as his wife. Pasupati tries to flirt with Sujikutti, and all this ends hilariously. Ultimately, Urmila triumphs in her game. Startlingly, Tirupati proclaims that he had a revelation of it initially, but he continues to unite the pair. Step by step, she receives detests from everyone when a transformation occurs in her after soul-searching. Forthwith, she rushes to deny her appeal, but it's too late since vexed Jagapati accepts the claim and is about to knit Nisha. Ergo, distraught, Urmila donates her property and proceeds for forgiveness from Jagapati consuming poison. At last, Jagapati secures her, stating it is an enactment. Finally, the movie ends comically with their progeny girl being born with Urmila's sumptuous mindset, and Jagapati's game reopens.
