Plot
[edit]Bullabbayi (Sivaji) is fond of his sister-in-law, Rajeswari (Meera Jasmine). He loves her so much and wants to be flawless with good character. Though Rajeswari behaves like she is not interested in him, she indeed loves him. Bullabbayi has a property dispute with his half-brother, Veerababu (Subbaraju). In a bid to save a girl called Chintamani (Sangeeta) from being sold by a brothel owner (Anuradha) to Veerababu, Bullabbayi pays her money, takes Chintamani with him, and keeps her in his outhouse. He tells her to leave the place the next day, but accidentally, seduces Chintamani, after an attack by Veerababu's men against him. Being an honest boy, Bullabbayi reveals everything to his father-in-law and urges him to stop the marriage, but the latter refuses to do so. Again, Bullabbayi innocently reveals the incident to Rajeswari as he doesn't want to cheat her who thinks he is pious and flawless. Rajeswari attempts suicide and gets saved by Bullabbayi. However, Rajeswari refuses to share the marital life with Bullabbayi. A few days later, her father convinces her and appeals to honour his honesty. Being impressed with his innocence, Rajeswari allows him into the bedroom and they enjoy a good family life. As a result, Rajeswari turns pregnant, as well as Chintamani. How does Bullabbayi manage both his pregnant wives? Does Chintamani come into the life of Rajeswari? Does Rajeswari keep mum on learning Chintamani was also pregnant and Bullabbayi continued to pamper her? What happens to the property dispute between Bullabbayi and Veerababu? How did Veerababu react against Bullabbayi? The answers to all these questions form part of the climax.
