Plot
[edit]The film begins at City College, where 3 beauties, Sravani, a librarian, Lahari, & Aliveni, are students. Their respective brother-in-law Paramahamsa, sibling Yugandhar Prasad, & father Barrela Balaraju guard them. Ergo, none collegians dare to see them. Shanti Swaroop, a handsome new-appointee lecturer, arrives, whom these 3 befriend. However, Shanti Swaroop grows even silent endearment with Sravani. Sravani resides with Paramahamsa and handles the house chores with his 2 infants because of her sister Susheela's disability. He showers ample attention for her, which she adopts as a godsend fatherly nurture. Once, a lecturer, Nivas, hoodwinked a student, Bhaskar Lakshmi, when Shanti Swaroop tactically exposed and knitted him with her.
Currently, Sombabu, a callow, anonymously posts a line of heart to Aliveni, which Shanti Swaroop spots and advises her to grant lightly. Accidentally, the letter drops into Lahari's hand via Shanti Swaroop when assuming as he proposed; she also reciprocates and replies. It lands at Sravani, and the two make conjugal love. Here, as a flabbergast, Paramahamsa unveils his hellish hue, which has incestuous lust for Sravani and vows to pose her by hook or crook. Aliveni, too, crushes on Shanti Swaroop when he shields her against danger. Next, Lahari walks onto Shanti Swaroop to address their nuptial when he divulges the misinterpretation & his love affair, and Lahari attempts suicide. Yudgandhar collapses since he dotes on her and does anything for her wish. Hence, Yugandhar ultimately warns Shanti Swaroop to splice his sibling by keeping his mother at risk. To avert the threat, he pretends his approval.
Parallelly, Balaraju moves to Shanti Swaroop because of Alivelu's fondness for him, which he denies. So, he plots with Nivas, who makes a suicide drama claiming that Alivelu got pregnant by Shanti Swaroop. Thus, to bar it, he enacts his signature for martial. Following this, Paramahamsa breaks his dark desire by forewarning and coerciving Sravani to be his bride. Shanti Swaroop feels something shady and is conscious of the fact via Susheela. Now, he schemes a clash between Yugandhar & Balaraju, who abduct Lahari & Alivelu conversely. At which, the two make them admit their error. Besides, Shanti Swaroop schedules his wedlock with Sravani when Paramahamsa clutches her. Shanti Swaroop secures her and ceases the blackguard who reforms. At last, Yugandhar & Balaraju get close to slaying Sravani when Lahari & Alivelu hinder and change their men's mindset. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Shanti Swaroop & Sravani.
