Plot
The film begins with Srinivasa Rao / Chitti (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) a law student whose father Bhagavatam (S. V. Ranga Rao) is an orthodox & superstitious person. Chitti marries a noble & ideal lady Lakshmi (Bhanumathi Ramakrishna) who takes care of her in-laws' and family meticulously. Here, Bhagavatam does not permit the couple to stay together as it's Chitti's exam time. Distressed Chitti plans to celebrate his honeymoon, with the help of brother-in-law Vaali (Padmanabham) and gives a fake telegram that Lakshmi's mother is ill. Right now, Chitti is to return keeping Lakshmi in a small hotel in a remote area. Thereafter, Vaali too returns to his hometown to avoid his parents knowing the truth. In the hotel, Lakshmi & Chitti faces many unforeseen incidents. Moreover, the hotel manager (Ramana Reddy) & other mates suspect them as an eloped couple. On the double, Chitti loses his purse while escaping from his father's assistant. At the same time, to their misfortune, Vaali meets with an accident and is brought to the city when their drama breaks out. Parallelly, Chitti is not able to pay the hotel bill, so, they somehow escape and reach home where Chitti is surprised to see his in-laws. At present, Bhagavatam starts chiding Chitti when his wife (Suryakantham) mentions that all these incidents are because of his strict discipline. At last, Bhagavatam realizes his mistake and allows the couple to be united. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
