Plot
[edit]The film begins in a village where Ramachandra Raju is an arbitrator. To fulfill the last wish of his sister Rajyalakshmi, Ramachandra Raju marries his daughter Madhavi with her son Krishna when they are infants. Next, while immersing her ashes, Krishna falls into a river and goes missing. Grief-stricken Rajyalakshmi's husband Chandram leaves to go abroad along with Madhavi. Years roll by, and the story spins to Dubai, where 4 Indian guys, Raju, Sivaji, Kamal, & Radha, stay together in an apartment performing various petty jobs. Eventually, Ramachandra Raju fixes a new alliance with Madhavi, which she accepts and travels to India. On the transit to Dubai, she loses her passport when Raju secures and shelters her. Chandram advises her to hold up until he acquires the new one. During that time, Raju & Madhavi crush. Knowing it, Chandram counsels Raju to arrive as his lost son Krishna so they can quickly get approval from Ramachandra Raju. Here, as a flabbergast, Krishna also returns, and confusion occurs. However, Ramachandra Raju detects Raju as a forge and boots him, who quiets to keep Chandram's honor. Meanwhile, wedding arrangements for Krishna & Madhavi are in progress when Chandram advises Raju & Madhavi to elope, to which Raju denies taking Ramachandra Raju's prestige into account. Overhearing it, Ramachandra Raju is under dichotomy. At last, he spreads the glory of love when Krishna sets foot to give up. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raju & Madhavi.
