Plot
The film begins on Subramanyam / Subbu (Jagapathi Babu) a simpleton works as a manager in a firm. He marries a no-nonsense lady Durga (Roja) and the couple adopts Subbu's deceased sister's two sons. Thereafter, Durga gives birth to twins, the imps make their life miserable with their mischief for which Subbu has to vacate too many houses. So, Subbu decides to buy a house in a locality full of bizarre characters that include a retired army officer Lansnayak Bhagat (Kota Srinivasa Rao), a loud-mouthed neighbor Shantharam (Dharmavarapu Subramanyam), and some demented feminists. Right now, things get worse when Subbu rents a portion of his house to a person Pataudi (Rajendra Prasad). Later Subbu realizes his mistake after seeing Pataudi's family, which is the most dysfunctional that one can ever imagine. Pataudi's family contains wife Kantham (Jhansi) a hardcore virago, two more strong imps, and a sister-in-law Sujatha (Kanchi Kaul) a teenage girl. Sujatha is infatuated towards Subbu and stalks him day & night. Parallelly, Babloo (Babloo) a person who aspires to love Sujatha threatens Subbu with his gang. Here, the quandary creates turmoil & turbulence. The rest of the story is a comic tale that how Subbu discards from these problems.
