Plot
[edit]The film begins with the inauguration of a book, Bhartanu Longadisukotam Ela, i.e., How to Grip Your Husband, written by a smug egomaniac Bhavani Devi. She authentically feels victorious in reality, too. Indeed, her wayward husband, Rajeswara Prasad, is an aged playboy. He knavishly keeps Bhavani Devi in a trance, and the couple has a daughter, Jaya. Besides, Vijay, an unemployed with integrity, sticks to the truth. In a crazy room, he acquits with Jaya, and they crush. Later, Vijay joined Rajeswara Prasad and gained credence. Chamudeswari Devi, a haughty antagonist to Bhavani Devi, envies her acclaim and tries to blacken her by various means. Whereat, Bhavani Devi challenges Chamundeswari to select a genuine for Jaya, though poor, and soften him into a jumping jack. Rajeswara Prasad gazes at Vijay & Jaya's love affair, and he is his mate Ramadasu's son. So, Rajeswara Prasad affirms making Vijay his son-in-law because of gratitude towards Ramadasu. Bhavani Devi announces a Swayamvaram interview for Jaya's bridegroom. Rajeswara Prasad wants a lie from Vijay to take the test, saying he devotedly recited Bhavani Devi's book. Vijay denies it for his selfhood but agrees to request, implying that he will unveil the fact immediately. Soon after the nuptial, Vijay gets ready to come clean when Rajeswara Prasad bars him, and the two stand against their paths. Vijay argues that honesty is ideal for marriage blessings, whereas Rajeswara Prasad states that moving with wit according to time is inevitable. They both bet for six months to walk, whose theory is accurate when Rajeswara Prasad stipulates Vijay must be quiet no matter what he does outside.
Meanwhile, Bhavani Devi trains Jaya in her footsteps for marionette, her husband. Vijay discusses every aspect with Jaya, which leads to quarrels, and Rajeswara Prasad settles it nicely. He also spots his father-in-law artfully defying his wife but maintains silence. Vijay facilitates his secretary, Leela, who is her family's only breadwinner. Therein, domineering Jaya attributes a disgrace among the two and necks out Leela. She also subjects her husband to extreme agony with a depraved sense given by Bhavani Devi. Parallelly, mortified Leela attempts suicide, and Vijay joins her in the hospital. Here, a gorge erupts between the couple, culminating in divorce. So, Rajeswara Prasad intentionally divulges his dark shade when Bhavani Devi crumbles with breakdown, and Jaya comprehends Vijay's goodness. Suddenly, Vijay lands & accuses them of homicide, showing Leela's dead body, who became their conceit's victim. Now, he is about to quit to serve Leela's deprived family. Ergo, remorseful Jaya asks for forgiveness and to accompany him. Rajeswara Prasad conjoins them and promises to take up Leela's liabilities. Bhavani Devi hinders them when Rajeswara Prasad slaps her, stating the wedlock's eminence and wanting to take off, relinquishing all. At last, Bhavani Devi remorsefully pleads pardon from Rajeswara Prasad by tearing her book. Finally, the movie ends happily with the family's reunion.
