The film begins with Seetarama Rao a woman-hater, running an organization against them and inflaming all men. Once a client, Head Constable Nippu Appalaswamy seeks the reason behind his deeds, then he starts narrating the past. Seetarama Rao & his brother Krishna are raised by his brother-in-law Vasu and sister Subhadra. At that time, he is naïve and everyone makes fun of him. Once, he is in quicksand when a beautiful girl Lavanya surprises, signs in to save him. Just after, Seetarama Rao makes various attempts to acquire her love. Being cognizant of it, Lavanya's blackguard cousin Subba Rao one that aspires to possess her threatens him. Unfortunately, on an awkward occasion, Lavanya slaps Seetarama Rao publicly when he turns red out of shame and bids suicide. At that juncture, he receives a letter from Lavanya affirming her true love and that Subba Rao is forcibly coupling up with her. Immediately, he rushes therein, when Lavanya humiliates and necks him out. Thus, Seetarama Rao developed an aversion to women. At present, Vasu Rao & Subhadra arrives and encounters Lavanya when she divulges reality. Indeed, to protect Seetarama Rao from Subba Rao she forged herself as an imposter. Currently, Lavanya decides to recoup Seetarama Rao's love. So, she makes a play with the help of Vasu Rao & Subhadra by accommodating Seetarama Rao's neighbor. Soon, she starts an organization against men. During the interval, Krishna is attracted to Lavanya's sister Vasundhara. Eventually, Seetarama Rao's assistant Kailasam (Subhalekha Sudhakar) loves Vasu's dumb sister Jyothi. Here, frightened Krishna elopes with Vasundhara to commit suicide when Appalaswamy rescues them. At last, Seetarama Rao realizes the truth. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Seetarama Rao & Lavanya, Kailasam & Jyothi, and Krishna & Vasundhara.
The film was shot extensively in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. Rajendra Prasad appeared as a woman for the first time in this film.[2]
