Plot
The film begins with two software engineers, Veeramachineni Harikrishna & Lakshmi, who are pantophobia and testy. Moreover, the two consistently rely on their besties, Bhagawan & Janaki. A dominating wife & husband invariably suppress their spouse Satyabhama & Chalapati, respectively. Elders formally arrange Hari & Lakshmi's matchmaking, Pelli Choopulu, and they like each other and knit each other. Soon after, the pair adjudicate for a warm climate around them. But their trains indoctrinate their mindset in the name of ascendancy and personal freedom. Additionally, it advises that the ' first night' is the right time to keep the partner under the toe.

Beginning with Hari & Lakshmi's attempt to wield others and waiting for a spot opposite to blink, they never consummated. Once Lakshmi's old mate, Prakash, arrives to arouse her husband, Lakshmi pretends to be close to him. Fortuitously, his wife Astha is Hari's previous salsa tutor and has an infatuation with him. So, he also repeats the same, which enrages their ego, and silly squabbles launch. Eventually, the couple went overboard on their mates, which hit rock bottom, and they settled to split. Simultaneously, Hari's grandparents land from their village, who are unbeknownst to the state of play. Hence, Hari & Lakshmi enact affinity to gratify them. The elders invite the twosome to the town to conduct a heritage ritual, 'Dampatya Vratam.''

Accordingly, they proceed and start the ritual. As a result, intimacy and friendliness emerge between the couple. Parallelly, Bhagawan & Janaki know that it is just their consort's virtue to surrender to them and transform. Besides, Hari & Lakshmi discover the entire ritual is fake, forged by old men, and freak out. At that point, the oldies affirm that being conscious of their marital life, they made this play. Thus, to impress upon them that nuptial is neither agreement nor adjustment, it is holy bondage. Hearing it, soul-searching starts inside the duet, who realizes the eminence of marriage and the importance of the better half. Finally, the movie ends happily with the first night of Hari & Lakshmi.
