The film deals with a joint family; Raghavendra Rao and his wife Rajyalakshmi are paterfamiliases with four sons and a daughter. The elder son, Pattabhi, and his wife, Janaki, look after the house finances and agricultural work. The second son Prakasam is involved in village politics and wastes time & money therein, and his wife, Jaya, is a shrew who doesn't contribute anything to the welfare of the family. The third son, Pratap, is a bodybuilder obsessed with diet & fitness and is not bothered about his wife Rama. The youngest one, Prasad, studies in the city, where he falls in love with a beautiful girl, Saroja, a doctor. The only daughter is Chandra, and her husband, Suryam, suffers from night blindness. He doesn't work and spends his time lazily living in his in-law's house. To make things worse, his mother, Durgamma, always visits the home, creating rifts in the family. Pattabhi & Janaki's goodwill misleads to inability, which remains misused. Meanwhile, Prasad marries Saroja at this juncture, and she enters the family when everybody is in a mess with unnecessary expenditures, arguments, and cheating. So, Prasad & Saroja decide to separate the family, and they do so by cheating. The rest of the story is about reuniting the affections and relations between family members.
