Plot

Venu Gopala Rao (

Sobhan Babu) is a lawyer by profession and a responsible citizen at heart. Her own son Ananth (Chandramohan
) is a laid-back person. Though he is good-natured, but irresponsible. Venu Gopala Rao's sister bestows Ananth's responsibility on Vijay and also gives him her property.

As a result, Vijay looks after Ananth with utmost care and affection. Ananth meets Roja in a party once and the latter treats him more like a brother. But Ananth mistakes her affections to be something else. Meanwhile, Vijay decides for Ananth to marry Venu Gopala Rao's daughter Lavanya. This marriage isn't liked by either Ananth or Lavanya. Lavanya is an ultra-modern woman who is into clubs and promiscuity. She doesn't bother her father also in this regard. Ananth requests Roja to help her to come out of this marriage plan because his brother insists for the same. Roja helps Ananth out of friendship and writes a fake letter without any name mentioned. But because of this, she gets into deep trouble. Ananth mistakes Roja's help as love and plans to marry her in secret. Vijay who always objected the friendship between Ananth and Roja marries an unconscious Roja in dramatic circumstances. Roja's life gets miserable and incidentally she joins as a nanny in Venu Gopala Rao's house unaware that they are daughter-father respectively. She faces trouble seeing Vijay who often comes to their house. The rest of the film deals with how Vijay helps Roja out of four different problems – Forcible marriage, her brother Chandu who is into robberies, Lavanya who hates her, and her bedridden mother.
