## Plot

The film begins with Bhimavaram Buchchi Babu / Babu and his sidekick Anji, the house brokers who make money with their canny personalities. Once, a beautiful girl, Geeta, contacts them when Babu cleverly rents a portion of his house owned by a dangerous goon, Tiger Dharma. The purpose of Geeta's visit is to find her lover, Aravind. After much struggle, she locates him when he seeks time to convince his parents. Right now, Geeta holds back at Babu's residence. Meanwhile, Dharma is released, who funnily vows not to molest a married woman. To protect Geeta, Babu claims her as his wife, which leads to a series of falsehoods. Once Anji inquires Babu about the reason behind his deeds, he rearwards. He stayed with his sister Parvati in childhood, and his brother-in-law Kotaiah despises him. However, Babu dots upon his niece and owes to shield her throughout his life. Unfortunately, he is incriminated and sentenced for a crime.
Thus, he is winning money for his nuptial and fulfilling his niece's aspirations. As a flabbergast, Babu discovers Geeta as his niece, who fled from the house because Kotaiah forcibly fixed her alliance with Babu for the property. At that moment, Babu decides to unite Geeta & Aravind without revealing his identity. But to his misfortune, Dharma spots Geeta with Aravind when the hell breaks. So, he necks Babu out and attempts to molest Geeta. Babu recuses her when she understands his virtue and again dwells with him. After crossing many hurdles, Babu convinces both the families to knit with Geeta & Aravind. During the time of the wedding, Aravind retorts against Babu and accuses Geeta of being a slut which makes Anji break out the truth. Thereupon, Geeta realizes the righteousness of his uncle and loathes Aravind. At last, Aravind reveals that he has intentionally falsified himself as an imposter by learning Babu's story. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Babu & Geeta.

## Reception

Full Hyderabad wrote "There is nothing in the film that can make you sit through two-and-a-half hours [..] The film looks so silly that even those who like sentimental dramas will not want to have any of it". Andhra Today wrote "This love triangle offers nothing very different from its predecessors, if only it had any promise of the "unexpected", it would have had chances of a success. With neither a strong story nor novelty, this movie will not find audience appreciation".
