Plot
Karthik (Krishnudu) is a teacher by profession and falls in love with a medico Kavya (Sharanya Mohan). Kavya's father Colonel Lakshmipati (Rao Ramesh) is a retired army officer living in a farmhouse in the village, with his brothers and family. Kavya loses her mother at young age, so her father has never refused her wishes. When she musters courage to tell her father about her love, Karthik comes to her home all of a sudden. He tells Lakshmipati that he is in love with his daughter. Lakshmipati is dead set against the marriage and does not want this stout guy for a son-in-law. Lakshmipati's friend Bhaskaram (Yandamuri) further complicates Krishnudu's prospects with some silly ideas. Rest of the drama is how Krishnudu wins the heart of Lakshmipati.
