Plot
The film is set in a backdrop of a village where an affluent and wealthy family rules the village. Suraiah is the village head just for the namesake. Everything is managed by his wife Rajalakshmi. Suriah just roams around the village with empty words and stays under his wife. While the couple had a son and daughter-in-law, they die in an accident and they have a grandson Krishna, who is quite pampered by the grandparents. Krishna is a casual youngster who earns a degree with great difficulty in five years and returns to the village. At this juncture, he meets Seetha on the train. He learns Seetha was forced into a marriage and gives her shelter in Hotel Govindu, in his village. In a dramatic situation when Seetha's life is endangered, he marries her in a police station. Rajalakshmi is devastated by the news and tells her grandson to leave the house. A sad Krishna and Seetha arrive in the city and try to establish their own life. Suraiah comes to the city and things come to an understanding. But the real fun starts when Krishna lies to his grandfather that they have a son. Hearing the good news, Rajalakshmi comes to the city. Krishna gets a baby for rent from Anasuya, who gives children. To make things worse, she gives a girl baby and lies that it is a boy. She even enters the house as a maid to loot the money. Rajalakshmi realizes this and teaches her a lesson.Rajalakshmi takes back the money and stolen jewelry. Later when the whole family is shopping for jewelry they are kidnapped for Rajalakshmi's jewelry that she was wearing.
