Plot

The film begins with Fhani Bhupal, a Casanova proprietor of a successful condom company. Karthik, a flirt, is his only son and plays the role of the bride's grooming agency. The father & son share an enormous, deep bond and an inseparable tie. Uma, a pediatrician, belongs to a traditional family. She betrothed with a Ph.D. Pathuri Hanumantha Das is an exasperated foreign return guy without knowledge about relationships. He has just endorsed the match as Uma's conscientious joint family is beneficial for his thesis. Karthik & Uma are acquainted at a rave when Priyanka, mate of Uma, bets entice any men. So, she lures Karthik as a bet, but impulsively, he genuinely loves her when she divulges the actuality. Forthwith, annoyed, Karthik seeks her penalty of 3 days of the date, which she agrees with as it is inevitable. At the end of it, Uma misconstrues Karthik as a tomcat chides and quits.

Meanwhile, Karthik learns that his father is in hospital. Immediately, he flies, nonconscious that he is without clothes. As a flabbergast, the nurse handovers a cute baby, Chitti, to Karthik, proclaiming it his father's progeny when Fhani Bhupal moves rearward. During the outdoor shooting of his product, Fhani Bhupal comes across a prostitute, Kalyani, and his model. On the spot, she is mortified by his men when Fhani Bhupal retorts and addresses their pains and eminence, which makes Kalyani adore him. The same night fated, they share a single room and are consummates.

After one year, Kalyani dies in an accident, leaving Chitti's responsibility to Fhani Bhupal. A little debate runs between father & son, but their idolization defeats it, and Karthik develops bosom bondage towards Chitti. One night, when Fhani Bhupal is out of the station, Karthik neglects Chitti as a drunkard, and she collapses out of dehydration. Therein, he edgily rushes to the hospital when Uma spots his genuine love for the kid. Karthik imparts the entire fact to Uma. However, she initially mocks but comprehends after listening to their mutual affection. The next day, Uma proceeds to Karthik's house to invite him to her espousal, which makes him gloomy.

Consequently, Uma is also in a dichotomy because she starts loving Karthik. Accordingly, she requests him to accommodate her, and they land at their village. Here, Uma poses Karthik as his widower friend and Chitti as his daughter; her family stares suspiciously. Since his wife passed away recently, she guested him home for diversion and to be aware of child-rearing when Karthik gets nearer to them, and they, too, endear him. Parallelly, the Ph.D. feels fishy and mistrusts Uma's purity, which calls off the nuptial. At this point, Uma's father, Raghavaiah, decides to knit Uma with Karthik and walks with the proposal when the truth breaks out. Raghavaiah lambasts Karthik's family, rebukes & slaps Uma, and excludes her.

Besides, a rift arises between father & son who imputes that he is the cause of all his troubles. Thus, Fhani Bhupal advances to Raghavaiah with Chitti to plead. Karthik is agitated about his father & sister and makes a video on social media to find their whereabouts. It goes viral when the media starts its investigation and broadcasts 24/7. Before, Fhani Bhupal made a dry run to speak Raghavaiah, which shows pain, remorse, and intimacy. Fortuitously, Chitti records and forwards it to the media without her knowledge, which Uma's family views. At last, they change their mindset before Fhani Bhupal's arrival and give their acceptance. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Karthik & Uma.
