Plot

The story starts with Divakaram (Rajendra Prasad) coming late to video-shoot a marriage, where he sees Bhuvaneswari and falls head over heels in love. He then gets a hold of Bhuvaneswari's maternal uncle VP Jagannadham (Pradeep Shakti) and gets information about Bhuvaneswari. He gathers that she respects only the people who are self sufficient and straightforward. He also finds out that she is not married and is about to get transferred to Rajamundry (where he stays) soon. She works as a railway booking clerk. So Divakaram comes back to the Rajamundry and gets permission from the doctor (Shubha), who raises him as her foster child to use the front verandah in her house for his video shop. In order to secure the capital he uses all kinds of tricks. He blackmails Bhagyam (Jayalalita), cheats Chinna Rao (Mallikarjuna Rao) and claims a chit which he never was a member of, and so on. Finally starts the video shop. That's when Bhuvaneswari enters the scene. All the while Jagannadham writes him letters in her name making Divakaram assume that she is in love with him. Finally when she lands in Rajamundy he approaches for marriage. It's then that he realizes that he had been cheated by Jagannadham. Meanwhile, she finds out all of Divakaram’s mischief through the neighbours. To teach him lesson, she puts forward a deal that she would marry him only if he stays out of cheating, and does not utter a lie in a month. Divakaram goes for it.

Here we see all the problems of Divakaram gets into because of the deal he had with Bhuvaneswari. He discloses the murder done by his friend. This enrages his friend who comes out of jail as there is no proof of his murder. In the climax his friend gets killed and Divakaram goes to jail but is acquitted as Dr.Krupa Mani (Shubha) confesses to the murder as an act of self defence; and he comes back to win the hand of Bhuvaneswari.
