Plot
The film begins with avaricious, spiteful Dhanumjayam, a tycoon who lives with his wife, Sundarambal Iyer, and two sons, Gopala Krishna, a veterinarian & Janakiram, a doctor. Besides, the two brave siblings, Jaya & Vijaya, pledge to hit the male dominance, and they reside with their mother, Parthamma. Society blocklisted them by their father, Prakash Rao's treacherous deed of heisting & fleeing with the workers' bonus amount. Whereat, Jaya & Vijaya claim the fact when Parvatamma spins back. Prakash Rao antagonized Dhanumjayam a few years ago for workers' communal rights despite being his General Manager. So, Dhanumjayam ruses with his acolyte Thokka. He consigns the bonus amount to Prakash Rao, conducts a burglary, and incriminates him. Thus, the sisters seek vengeance against Dhanumjayam by knitting his sons. Accordingly, they detect their diverse stipulations for nuptials. Gopala Krishna aims to unite two beneficial animals, and Janakiram wants to invite medicine to cure the still-existing disease. The two clutch & crush them based on their interests. Being mindful of it, Dhanumjayam enrages & imperils Parvatamma, but the catty girl deftly espouses his sons and sets foot into the house. From there, they ball up about daily household tasks, which go haywire, so Dhanumjayam decides to hire a maid. At that time, Jaya & Vijaya encounter Gowri, a naïve green whom they artfully intrude into the home and move the pawns, i.e., forging Dhanumjayam is an alcoholic, attributing an affair with Gowri, set the sons as rivals against father, etc. Now, the two sons dethrone Dhanumjayam by expelling him from power. Hearing it, Parvatamma rebukes her daughters, and Gowri also callowly makes them eat humble pie. Parallelly, Thokka backstabs Dhanumjayam and abducts to usurp his wealth, where he spots Prakash Rao also seized all these years. At last, the whole family shields them when remorseful Dhanumjayam pleads pardon and bestows workers' dues. Finally, the movie ends happily with a complete house mingling Gowri.
