Plot
The film begins on Bhimavaram Buchchi Babu / Babu (Srikanth) & Anji (Sudhakar) the house-brokers, who make money with their canny personality. Once, a beautiful girl Geeta (Rambha), contacts them when Babu cleverly rents a portion of his house owned by a dangerous goon Tiger Dharma (Ponnambalam). Actually, the propose of Geeta's visit is to find her lover Aravind (Jagapati Babu), after a lot of struggle she locates him when he seeks some time to convince his parents. Right now, Geeta holds back at Babu's residence. Meanwhile, Dharma releases, who funnily vows that not to molest a married woman. To protect Geeta, Babu claims her as his wife which leads to a series of lies to keep up the deception. Once, Anji inquires Babu the reason behind his deeds, then he replies for the happiness of his niece. In his childhood, he used to stay along with his sister Parvati (Siva Parvati) where his brother-in-law Kotaiah (Kota Srinivasa Rao) looks him down. But Babu dots upon his niece and promises to shield her throughout his life. Unfortunately, he sentenced for a crime that he has not committed. Hence, he is earning money for the acceptance of their espousal and fulfill his niece's aspirations. At present, Babu discovers Geeta as his niece one that fled from the house because Kotaiah forcibly fixed her alliance with Babu for the property. At that moment, Babu decides to unite Geeta & Aravind without revealing his identity. But to his misfortune, Dharma spots Geeta with Aravind when the hell breaks. So, he necks Babu out and even Geeta too hates him. After some time, Dharma attacks Geeta, Babu recuses her when she understands his virtue and again accommodates him. Thereafter, after crossing many hurdles Babu convinces both the families to couple up Geeta & Aravind. During the time of the wedding, Aravind retorts against Babu and accuses Geeta as a slut which makes Anji break out the truth. Thereupon, Geeta realizes the righteousness of his uncle and loathes Aravind. At last, it is revealed that Aravind has intentionally falsified himself as an imposter by learning Babu's story. Finally, the movie ends with a happy note with the marriage of Babu & Geeta.
