Plot

The film begins with a simpleton Subramanyam / Subbu, who works as a manager in a firm. He knits a no-nonsense lady, Durga, and the couple adopts Subbu's deceased sister's two sons. Following this, Durga delivers twins. The imps ball up with the deviltry, for which Subbu has to shift their residence frequently. Thus, he purchases his own in a locality full of bizarre characters, including a retired Lance naik Bhagath, a loud-mouthed neighbor, Santharam, and some demented feminists. A strange guy, Pataudi, tenants half of his home at double pay and powerfully cuts a deal. He lands with his dysfunctional family, the wife, Kantham, a hardcore virago, two more strong imps who hike the muff, and a teenage sister-in-law, Sujatha. Later, Subbu admits his guilt by sharing the address with him, which wreaks havoc. That's why Pataudi is ready to pay high rent and stipulates the claims in his favor. Upon more, Sujatha is infatuated with Subbu and stalks him day & night. Babloo, who crushes her, frightens Subbu with his gang; all these aspects throw Subbu into chaos.

Meanwhile, Durga re-conceives when suspicion ignites, viewing her husband's intimacy with Sujatha. Subbu wants to handle the issue gently by conveying it to Sujatha's elders. So, he attempts various means, which backfires and causes rift hikes in Subbu's family. Anyway, he holds Kantham and apprises all of it. Durga spots them and completely misconstrues Subbu, who is about to quit and goes into labor in that struggle. Subbu shifts her to the hospital with Pataudi's couple's aid as the two become cordial. Parallelly, Sujatha threatens Subbu for proposing publicly by standing on the water tank's top. Devastated, Subbu omits & walks on when the Babloo & gang encounter, but they slip away as frightened kids since Subbu turns furious. Pataudi makes Sujatha eat the humble with a slap for her childish acts. At last, Durga knows Subbu's virtue via Kantham, seeks pardon, and gives birth to twin baby girls. Finally, the movie ends happily, with a replay of the family circus.
