The third son Pratap (Bheemaraju) is a bodybuilder who is obsessed with diet & fitness and not bothered about his wife Rama (Geethanjali). The youngest one Prasad (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) studies in the city where he falls in love with a beautiful girl Saroja (Jayalalithaa) a doctor. The only daughter is Chandra (Anitha), her husband Suryam (Padmanabham), suffers from night blindness. He doesn't do any work and passes time lazily by living in his in-law's house. To make things worse, his mother Durgamma (Suryakantham) always visits the house and creates rifts in the family.

Meanwhile, Prasad marries Saroja at this juncture, she enters the family when everybody is in a mess with unnecessary expenditures, arguments, and cheatings. So, Prasad & Saroja decide to separate the family and they do so by cheating. The rest of the story is how they reunite the affections and relations between family members.
