Plot
The film begins with a welsher, Appa Rao, whose daily grind involves making loans to meet his basic needs. Every day, his home is a hub of debtors, and he's a master at evading them. One night, Appa Rao crosses paths with a spirited constable, Subbalakshmi, who delivers a resounding slap for his involvement with the goons she's chasing. Once, Appa Rao stumbles upon a fortune teller, Sastry, whose predictions, unfortunately, take a turn for the worse with the entrance of his ominous sibling, Irogleg—Appa Rao, who bets with him on whether he will be his client when Sastry says no but he forwards. Sastry foretells that a woman will slap him thrice, who will be his spouse, and gain riches. As a glimpse, a rover alcoholic Brahmaji pesters by doubting all that he has seen before.

Meanwhile, Appa Rao & Subbalakshmi reconvene in a spar over a lottery ticket for inr 1000000, which ends up tearing it. Shortly, the seller compromises, advising them to keep the halves and share the prize if it knocks. The next day, the ticket triumphs when Appa Rao intends to heist Subbalakshmi's half with a phony story, and she bestows it, realizing that the ticket came in second. Discerning it, Appa Rao falls for Subbalakshmi, presuming her bluff, surrendering the ticket selflessly, and she, too, endears him. Whereat, Appa Rao attempts to kiss her when Subbalakshmi reslaps. Being in the dichotomy, Appa Rao approaches Sastry, who authentically says the word authentic, excluding his brother's foot.

Across, fixing up the alliance, the Irogleg intrudes, and Sastry prophesies to Appa Rao that his fiancé has to pay the death penalty. So, he pleads to avoid this lousy omen when Sastry guides to knit a dying woman. Ergo, Appa Rao seeks to reach his target in several ways but in vain. Fortuitously, he detects an old lady, Ammaji, who has four daughters, Bangari, Bujji, Pandu, & Baby, and elder Bangari is a cancer victim—Appa Rao tricks and covertly wedlocks Bangari. During the wedding night, he intentionally calls the Irogleg when his fate again turns down. Appa Rao is conscious that Bangari is not going to die. Ammaji has misled him about undertaking the nuptial. Thus, he forces divorce when Ammaji speculates implementing the remaining three splices.

Initially, Appa Rao knavishly tries to join them with three beggars but gets exposed. Then, the three girls state explicitly they will unite only their love interests. The first girl loves a guy who has a problem with his elders. Father Eeswara Sastry adheres to classical, the mother Mangatayaru Chiranjeevi's big stan, and grandmother Sony pop music passionate. The second one is the son of MLA Nadendla Anjaiah, among Appa Rao's debtors, and he claims inr 100000 dowry, and the third strangely shows the guy in her dream. Parallelly, Subbalakshmi spots Appa Rao with Bangari, but he covers it up. The two mingle to perform the weddings of three. Above all, they clutch Eeswara Sastry, Mangatayaru, & Sony based on their interests. Next, Appa Rao foxily makes his house owner Tata Rao Anjaiah's opponent and falsifies his illness. Plus, he accumulates the dowry amount from Anjaiah himself. At long quest, Appa Rao senses the third is a silly thief via Subbalakshmi and holds him.

Hence, the three marriages are held at the same venue, facing twists such as Bangari assays to subdue Appa Rao by medicine, which accidentally mixes in cooldrinks and a ball up. Ammaji announces Brahmaji as her husband, who has fled from his responsibility. Anjaiah is aware of the fraud, but Appa Rao tactically handles him. Besides, Appa Rao's debtors strive when he gamely clears their credits by Anjaiah in exchange for the votes in his favor. Eventually, the Irogleg is onslaught for his fee, and they drag him away. Startling Subbalakshmi unveils herself as Ammaji's elder, after accomplishing the ceremony, who has made this play to overcome her family's troubles using his wit. Since Bangari is a naïve Subbalakshmi has conjugal her with Appa Rao. At last, Appa Rao is in the puzzle when Sastry suggests tying the knot with Subbalakshmi. Finally, the movie ends happily with Appa Rao fusing two queens.
