Plot
The film begins with Bose Babu (Srikanth) a wealthy person in a village who is a tough nut to his opponent Kota (Kota Srinivasa Rao). So, for a thwart, Kota plans to couple up his daughter Swathi (Swathi) with Bose Babu. At that moment, he knows that Bose Babu's alliance is already fixed with his father's close friend Ramaraju's (Murali Mohan) daughter Sneha (Sneha). Just after, Bose Babu secretly visits Ramaraju's house where he misjudges Ganga (Swetha) his foster daughter as the bride. Indeed, Ganga is an orphan brought by Ramaraju along with his daughter. Being cognizant of her wedlock, Sneha rejects as she holds a beau Sivaji (Srihari) Kota's son. Right now, angered Ramaraju forcibly couples her with Bose Babu. During the wedding, the duo overlooks each other. Thereupon, Sneha removes the 'Thaali' wedding chain and elopes. Spotting it, Ramaraju collapses when to keep him at save face his trustworthy servant Ramu (Rajendra Prasad) requests and puts Ganga on the front who wears the wedding chain and lands at Bose Babu's residence. Soon after his recovery, Ramu subterfuges Ramaraju that Sneha is safe and proceeded to her in-law's house.
Meanwhile, Sneha discovers Sivaji as a swindler when he knocks her out. Simultaneously, in the village, Bose Babu tries to get nearer Ganga, but she disregards him. Suddenly, one day, Ramaraju reaches the village and learns the truth when he proclaims Ganga as Bose Bose's official wife and recouples them. Thereafter, Bose Babu & Ganga start their new life and she becomes pregnant. Here as a flabbergast, Bose Babu appears with Sneha claiming her as his wife. Now Bose Babu divulges the reality that once he encountered a seriously injured girl and admitted her to the hospital affirming herself as his wife. But sadly she is affected by amnesia, so, he brought her home. After a few comic incidents, Ganga leaves the house returning the wedding chain to Sneha, and Ramu escorts her. Immediately, Bose Babu rushes, when he realizes the actuality. Meanwhile, Kota & Sivaji notices Ganga & Ramu and falsifies their relationship when watching Sivaji, Sneha regains her memory. During that plight, Ramaraju arrives and imparts the facts. By the time, Ganga gives birth to a baby boy and Bose Babu brings her back. At last, everyone professes Ganga as Bose Babu's wife. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with Bose Babu again tying the wedding chain to Ganga.
