Plot

The film begins with Eedukondalu (Akkineni Nageshwara Rao), a young and energetic guy and Zamindar of a village, Seetapuram, who is held in high esteem by the villagers. Lalitha (Lakshmi), foreign-returned English rose is his maternal uncle Bheema Rao's (Nagabhushanam) daughter. Once Bheema Rao visits Seetapuram along with his family where Lalitha is fascinated by Eedukondalu's prowess. Knowing it, Deepa Lakshmi (Sukumari) a shrewish and arrogant wife of Bheema Rao forcibly tries to couple up Lalitha with her nephew Madhu (Chandra Mohan), a debauched person. So, Bheema Rao seeks Eedukondalu's help when he gamely elopes with Lalitha from the venue and they are married. Soon after the marriage, small disputes and differences arise between the couple as Lalitha is unable to tune in to the village atmosphere. Here Eedukondalu tries to alter his beloved's behavior with goodness. Meanwhile, on the occasion of Lalitha's birthday, she goes carousing with her Hippie friends when one of the men tries to molest Eedukondalu's niece Rangi (Shubha). Spotting it, furious Eedukondalu smacks everyone including Lalitha. Thereafter, egotistical Lalitha leaves to her mother, who sends a divorce notice to Eedukondalu. Now he decides to get her back, by teaching a lesson and succeeds in making her pregnant. After conceiving, Deepa Lakshmi discards the child in an orphanage and Lalitha gets shocked by her mother's deed. By the time she goes to recovery, Eedukondalu walks away with the child. At present, Eedukondalu threatens Lalitha by announcing his remarriage with Rangi. During the time of the wedding, Lalitha appears, pleads pardon and wants her husband and child back. At last, Eedukondalu avows all this was his play. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note on the reunion of Eedukondalu and Lalitha.
