Plot
Radha (Aamani) marries Madhu (Jagapati Babu), a civil engineer. She thinks that he is rich, but it turns out that Madhu is middle class who wants to lead a simple life. This infuriates Radha as her dream is to be rich and wealthy. Even the birth of two children does not change her. Meanwhile, Latha (Roja), a young girl, who is the daughter of Madhu's boss (Subbaraya Sharma) comes back from London. She falls in love with Madhu and asks him to marry her unaware of Madhu's marriage and two children. Madhu rejects her proposal that she is being foolish as he was already married. When Latha meets Radha, she offers her one crore rupees in exchange for marriage to Madhu. Radha agrees and she starts pressuring Madhu for remarriage. Madhu agrees with a heavy heart as Radha threatens to commit suicide. But Madhu also starts falling in love with Latha. Radha notices that she was being left out. She slowly realizes her mistake and wants to get Madhu back. On the other way, Madhu decides to go to London with Latha. Radha's children also don't want to live with Radha and they both decide to go with Latha and Madhu. Radha learns the importance of family and comes to the airport to give them a sad send-off. However, Latha decides to go back to London alone and reveals that she is pregnant. The movie ends as Latha leaves and gives Radha her family back.

Production
Initially, Vijayashanti was approached for the role of Radha. But she declined the offer as she considered the role too arrogant & inappropriate for her. Bollywood actress Divya Bharti who had appeared in a few Tollywood hits then, was selected for the role. But her untimely death caused her to be replaced by Aamani, who got boost in her career through this film.
