Plot

[edit]

The film begins in a village, Giripuram, where a landlord, Vishwanatham, has three daughters, Devi, Swarna, & Mamatha, and a son, Manohar. The first two have knitted with Govardhanam & Lakshmikanth. Govardhan works as an employee in a firm, whereas Devi is orthodox and spends most of her time in religious rituals. Lakshmikanth & Swarna are a stingy couple who forge affection for Vishwanatham to usurp his wealth. Subsequently, Vishwanatham's brother-in-law, whom he calls by various names, claims them to be deceptive, which he contradicts.

Meanwhile, Vishwanatham's childhood friend Udaya Bhaskaram gives him a post that his son is visiting their village. But erroneously, they receive Vidyasagar, Udayam paper journalist, and offer hospitality. He falls for Mamatha when the truth comes out, so Mamatha exits and splices him. Besides, Govardhan is vexed with Devi, so he concubines with his colleague Jayaseela. Discerning it, Devi walks to his father to apply for a divorce when Vishwanatham admits her guilt and retrieves it. Currently, Vishwanatham & his brother-in-law are moving on a pilgrimage when Vidyasagar & Mamatha also land to send off. Before leaving, Vishwanatham forgives and embraces them, and the entire family has fun.

Tragically, the bus meets with a disastrous accident in which Vishwanatham dies. Soon after, his girls receive a strange testament that his safe deposit 5,000,000 (US$60,000) will be bestowed to the one who gets widowed or divorced, which turns into a comic tale from there. Forthwith, greedy Lakshmikanth & Swarna rush to gain it and apply for a divorce with several shams. Devi, too, gets ready as there is no change in Govardhan, who is continuing his affair. Knowing it, Jayaseela quits, pleading with him to avoid it. Though Vidyasagar & Mamatha have genuine respect & affection for Vishwanatham, they also proceed to be conscious of remaining. Vidyasagar consults a wit advocate, Dharmalingam, a divorce specialist. Therein, Dharmalingam schemes conjugal him with his daughter Shanti after the divorce. Hence, he gets hold of him by threat, despite Shanti's denial. Destiny makes Mamatha & Shanti mate when suspicion arises but resolves. Plus, Vidyasagar frees from Dharmalingam's clutch with a slick trick.

Thus, the three couples triumph in the divorce and set foot in the bank unbeknownst to each other. Right now, they ball up when bank authorities seek originals. To acquire it, all of them speed to Giripuram. As a flabbergast, Vishwanatham is alive and impersonates this as per the bet with his brother-in-law about the children's warmth on him. At last, Vishwanatham performs the re-nuptial of his apologist daughters and sons-in-law. Devi detests it, but Govardhan soothes her with the pardon. Finally, the movie ends comically with Vishwanatham proclaiming that he is again marching ahead to a tour by writing a New Testament.
