His father Uma Maheswara Rao has been attempting to earn his bachelor's degree, to get his ancestral property but to no avail.

According to his grandfather's will, they will inherit a huge amount of money that is contingent upon his father's graduation. Through his father, Balu meets Sarayu, who is also poor in studies and is attempting to pass her supplementary exams. She eventually becomes a paying guest in Balu's home. Balu takes up the responsibility of tutoring his father and Sarayu in a sequence of funny events.

Soon, Balu and Sarayu fall in love. Sarayu clears her degree and returns back to her hometown. A problem arises for the couple when Balu and Sarayu go to an engagement. What is the problem? How do they get out of it? These questions form the plot.

Venkat Arikatla of Greatandhra rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Samajavaragamana is a family entertainer with both funny and romantic parts.

After a long wait, he landed a role that is right in his wheelhouse, and he nailed it with ease. Reba Monika looks suited for the role.[9]
