Plot

[edit]

Srinivasa Rao / Chitti is a law student whose father, Bhagavatam, is orthodox & superstitious. Chitti knits noble Lakshmi, who meticulously cares for her in-laws and family. Here, Bhagavatam does not permit the couple to spend time as it is Chitti's exam time. Distressed, Chitti plans to celebrate his honeymoon with the help of brother-in-law Vaali and gives a fake telegram that Lakshmi's mother is ill. Right now, Chitti backs keeping Lakshmi in a small hotel. Vaali, too, moves to his hometown to hide the fact from his parents. In the hotel, Lakshmi & Chitti face many unforeseen incidents. The hotel manager & other mates suspect them of being an eloping pair. Chitti loses his purse on the double while escaping from his father's assistant. Parallelly, to their misfortune, Vaali meets with an accident and is brought to the city when their drama breaks out. Chitti & Lakshmi cannot pay the bill and abscond from the hotel and reach home, where Chitti is surprised to see his in-laws. At present, Bhagavatam starts chiding Chitti when his wife mentions that his strict discipline causes all these incidents. At last, Bhagavatam realizes his mistake and allows the couple to be united. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
