edit

The film begins in a village where affluent Bose Babu, a tough nut, is his opponent, Kota. So, he ruses to knit his daughter Swathi with Bose Babu to thwart. Therein, he learns Bose Babu's alliance is already fixed with his father's best friend Ramaraju's daughter Sneha. Here, Bose Babu secretly visits Ramaraju's residence and misjudges Ganga, an orphan fostered by Ramaraju as the bride. Ramaraju is enraged, cognizant of Sneha's liking towards Sivaji Kota's son, and forcibly nuptials her with Bose Babu. During the wedding, the duo overlooks, following Sneha elopes removing the wedding chain Thaali. Spotting it, Ramaraju collapses when to keep his safe face, his stanch Ramu pleads & puts Ganga on the front, who wears the wedding chain and sets foot at Bose Babu's house. Soon after his recovery, Ramu misguided Ramaraju and Sneha proceeded to her in-law's house.

Meanwhile, Sneha discovers Sivaji as a swindler when he knocks her out. Simultaneously, in the village, Bose Babu tries to get nearer Ganga, but she disregards him. Suddenly, Ramaraju is aware of actuality when he affirms Ganga as Bose Bose's wife and recouples them. Now, Bose Babu & Ganga start their new life, and she conceives. As a flabbergast, Bose Babu appears with Sneha, claiming her as his wife, then spins rearward. Once, he encountered a gravely injured Sneha, and because it is inevitable, proclaimed her as his wife at the hospital. Still, unfortunately, she is affected by amnesia, so he brought her home. After a few comic incidents, Ganga quits returning the wedding chain to Sneha, and Ramu escorts her. Bose Babu rushes when he learns the facts. Parallelly, Kota & Sivaji notice Ganga & Ramu and denounce their relationship while Sneha recoups her memory viewing Sivaji. During that plight, Ramaraju arrives and imparts the truth when Ganga gives birth to a baby boy. Bose Babu retrieves her. At last, everyone professes Ganga as Bose Babu's wife. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note, with Bose Babu again tying the wedding chain to Ganga.
