Plot
[edit]Subramanyam, a money-minded person doing odd jobs in United States, comes across Seetha, who ran away on her marriage day. Time passes, and Seetha gets cheated on by her boyfriend Abhi and is stranded in the US. Subramanyam comes to Seetha's rescue and solves her problems. Seetha receives a call from her parents and is told to come along with Subramanyam to come to Kurnool for her sister, Geetha.
Seetha requests Raghava & Subramanyam, who reluctantly accepts the proposal by demanding a considerable amount. The couple lands in Kurnool, and the entire family misunderstands them to be already married. Trouble ensues for Seetha and Subramanyam as Geetha's marriage is fixed with the son of an NRI Rajasekhar, who met Seetha and Subramanyam and misunderstood them as a couple.
Meanwhile, Govind is a dreaded don who is after Subramanyam for him to marry the former's sister, Durga. While pretending to be Seetha's husband, Subramanyam reveals to Govind's henchmen that Durga had made him cancel the marriage as she was in love with an AC repairer named Asgar. Durga reveals the truth and says that Asgar betrayed her for money, and she is ready to marry Subramanyam.
Govind reaches Geetha's marriage and reveals the truth. Despite this, Geetha gets married, and Seetha returns to the US. After a week, Subramanyam also returns and meets Seetha. When Seetha asks about Durga, Subramanyam reveals that Durga canceled the marriage after she learned about Subramanyam's love for Seetha. Later, Seetha and Subramanyam plan their marriage.
