The second son Prakasam is involved in village politics, and wastes time & money therein, and his wife Jaya is a shrew who doesn't contribute anything to the welfare of the family. The third son Pratap is a bodybuilder who is obsessed with diet & fitness and is not bothered about his wife Rama. The youngest one Prasad studies in the city where he falls in love with a beautiful girl Saroja a doctor. The only daughter is Chandra, and her husband Suryam suffers from night blindness. He doesn't do any work and passes his time lazily by living in his in-law's house. To make things worse, his mother Durgamma 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 cheating. So, Prasad & Saroja decide to separate the family and they do so by cheating. The rest of the story is about how they reunite the affections and relations between family members.
