In Rayalaseema, two rival factions led by Raghupati Rayudu and Chengal Rayudu are constant tussle with each other. The hostility is continued to the following generations as well with their younger brothers Subba Rayudu and Venkatrayudu taking the lead.

Subba Rayudu's son Krishna has studied MBA in the USA. While returning to his home country he happens to meet Sita, a fellow MBA graduate from Visakhapatnam. However, both of them remain indifferent to each other.

Samara Simha Reddy erroneously informs their families that both of them are in love.

Reception
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu opined that "Expectations from Arun Prasad, the director of the hit film Tammudu, were high. But he disappoints with Prema Sandadi. Moreover, he lets the obscenity seep in. The story line is too weak to hold the audience in its grip". Smriti Kashyap of Full Hyderabad wrote that "Avoid the flick unless you are a kamikaze and feel particularly suicidal".
