Plot

[edit]

The film begins in a village where Eedukondalu, a Zamindar, holds high esteem. Lalitha, a foreign-returned English rose, is his maternal Bhima Rao's daughter. Once, Bhima Rao visited the village with his family, where Lalitha was fascinated by Eedukondalu's prowess. Knowing it, Deepa Lakshmi, the shrew wife of Bheema Rao, forcibly tries to knit Lalitha with her nephew Madhu debauchery. So, Bheema Rao seeks Eedukondalu's help when he gamely elopes Lalitha and their espousals. Soon after, they clash, and differences arise as Lalitha cannot tune in to the village atmosphere. Here, Eedukondalu tries to alter his beloved behavior with goodness. On Lalitha's birthday, she throws carousing to her Hippie friends when one of the men tries to molest Eedukondalu's niece, Rangi. Spotting it, furious Eedukondalu smacks everyone, including Lalitha. After that, egoistic Lalitha moves to her mother, who sends a divorce notice to Eedukondalu. Now, he decides to get her back by teaching a lesson and succeeds in making her pregnant. After conceiving, Deepa Lakshmi discards the child in an orphanage, and Lalitha is shocked by her mother's deed. By the time she goes to recovery, Eedukondalu walks away with the child. At present, Eedukondalu threatens Lalitha by announcing his remarriage with Rangi. During the time of the wedding, Lalitha appears, pleads pardon, and wants her husband & child back. At last, Eedukondalu avows all this was his play. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the couple's reunion.
