Plot
[edit]The film begins with a multi-millionaire Achyuta Ramayya, who resides with his family and has three daughters, wayward sons-in-law, and Sowya & Jalandhara, the daughters of his deceased son. The entire house jumbles with disputes, and no one advances to work. Apart from that, Sowya is demeaned by all, excluding Achyuta Ramayya, as she is the illicit progeny of her father. Jalandhara forges affection from her but internally envies her enemies. Besides, Murali Manohar is the son of a tycoon, SVR, who returns from abroad. SVR aspires to knit his son into a conjoined joint family as he made a love marriage and alienated everyone. Ergo, he fixes an alliance with Jiddu Balamani, the daughter of Jiddu Bharadwaja. To get rid of it, Murali absconds back to Switzerland. In parallel, Sowmya receives a job offer therein, and she proceeds. The two are acquainted in the airport and continue the journey with consistent mocks.
In the interim, SVR hurried rushes to the airport when he clashes with Achyuta Ramayya circumstantially. Shortly, Murali & Sowmya land in Switzerland, where Sowmya is left alone because of Jalandhara's ruse, who stays overnight with Murali. Following, she approaches her office, where her boss, Paramahamsa, tries to molest her. Anyhow, Murali secures her and puts Paramahamsa behind bars when they fall in love. SVR also arrives searching for Murali, who learns about Sowmya's family and accepts the match. Soon after they return, Achyuta Rammayya also happily agrees, infuriating Jalandhara. Before long, SVR moves to Achyuta Ramayya; unfortunately, he runs Achuta Ramayya down with his car. Exploiting it, Jalandhara makes the family mortify and boot SVR. Murali is enraged by being conscious of it when SVR calms him and promises to splice Sowmya with her family's consent.
Murali joins as a cook Bhimudu in Achyuta Ramayya's residence and acquires their credence. Meanwhile, Jalandhara finds out that Bhimudu is Murali and the son of SVR; later, she decides to trouble him in the house. The next day, Soumya alone comes to the kitchen wearing a saree, and Manohar strips her saree near the navel and starts kissing the navel passionately. Soumya enjoys the surprise navel kiss, passionately expressing her smile. Jalandhara watches this, but she only stops both when they try to kiss each other. Then Jalandhara starts obstacles between Soumya and Murali. Step by step, he changes their attitudes, aids in the troubles, and develops warmth. Jalandhara detects him, attempts to lure whom he turns down, and challenges her to wedlock Sowmya. After a few comic scenes, Jalandhara exposes the reality when Achyuta Ramayya again affronts and necks them. At that point, the entire family stands on behalf of Murali & Sowmya as reformed and convinces Achyuta Ramayya, who apologizes to SVR. Now, the wedding arrangements carry on with the family's participation. Thus, Jalandhara emerges with her demonic shade and plots to slay Sowmya when Murali safeguards her at Sowmya's request. At last, she transforms after soul-searching. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Murali Manohar & Sowmya.
