Plot
editThe film begins with a high-minded husband, Srinivas / Srinu, who immensely loves his wife Madhavi and lives up to her dreams in seconds. They set foot into a colony where three couples, Murali Krishna-Lakshmi, Raghu-Parvati, & Kitta Govindam-Saraswati, share the same compound. The three are wayward husbands who conduct profligacy and boozing, which endure the wives' agony. Due to Srinu, the remaining wives blame their husbands, which irks them, and attempt to divert him but in vain. Srinu is self-reliant. Though he works in a chit-fund company, he opened his agency, of which his wife is unaware. Indeed, to impress & possess Madhavi, Srinu builds a fort of lies because she wants to knit an orphan as per her sibling's life, so he forges. The three wayward expose his secrets before Madhavi by bringing Srinu's parents. Further, he becomes unemployed, and his business goes bankrupt because of his subordinates' backstabbing, which throws him into colossal debt.
Thus, a rift arises between the couple, and Srinu gains Madhavi's resentment. Amidst that plight, Priya, Srinu's childhood mate, lands as an angel who aids him mentally & physically and boosts his courage. The two start a business, which is a big hit, and Srinu bails from the troubles. Anyhow, Madhavi suspects their affinity, which hikes daily, and the crack deepens, ultimately breaking the relationship. Consequently, Madhavi complains about the file to her intimate insider, bold old lady Ranganayaki, who inquires. The three families also reformed and decided to join Srinu's couple. Ranganayaki fixes her grandson Prashanth's wedlock, and Madhavi is shocked to view Priya as a bride. Ergo, she balls up when Ranganayaki makes Madhavi comprehend her husband's virtue and his clean tie with Priya. At last, Madhavi pleads pardon from Srinu, and Prasanth & Priya's nuptial takes place. Finally, the movie ends happily with Srinu again loving Madhavi passionately.
