Plot
Allipilli Anjaneyulu is a lawyer who is struggling with heavy family debts. To escape from bankruptcy and having to give up their home he decides to sell their property in the city. A middle-class family lives there and Neeraja, the sole breadwinner, disagrees as she can't afford to find and pay rent for a new house. To get back to his house, Anjaneyulu undertakes everything, such as seeking legal advice from an advocate Lankela Shankara Rao and the help of his relative Inspector Bellam Appa Rao but fails. So, Anjaneyulu schemes a plan to smoke his tenants and enters the house by trapping Neeraja's innocent mother Tulasamma (Subha). There onwards, he makes hilarious attempts to vacate when Neeraja loses her patience and calls her maternal uncle Bombay Dada to exist Anjaneyulu. In the beginning, Anjaneyulu gets frightened by looking at his attire but he makes him run away. Now Neeraja consults the same advocate Shankar Rao and handovers the rental receipts which Anjaneyulu cleverly steals and destroys. On the other hand, Anjaneyulu calls his family and occupies the house when helpless Neeraja becomes low. Anjaneyulu is not able to see their suffering then he enquires regarding them when he learns her problems and about her past. Neeraja's father is a hardcore criminal who has murdered his own son for which Neeraja put him behind bars and before leaving he has challenged her to eliminate her too. Parallelly, Neeraja loses her job, and her father escapes from jail and tries to kill her when Anjaneyulu comes to her rescue. At last, Anjaneyulu vacates the house without any reservations when Neeraja understands his virtue and stops him. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Anjaneyulu & Neeraja.
