Plot

The film begins with a Voice-over artist, Prasad, whose bestie, Bobby, a tycoon, loves a girl, Kalpana, by holding him back. However, a tiny mess arises, and Kalpana falls for Prasad. Being incognizant of it, they approach her despot brother, Major Chandrakanth, and fix the alliance. Just after, Bobby rushes to convey his grandmother Sarada Devi, who brought him up and desires to view his nuptial. Tragically, she is on her deathbed and wants to see the bride as a last wish. Prasad walks to Kalpana when he discerns the happening and quietly backs for Chandrakanth's scare. During that plight, Prasad jobs a lot to pick anyone but flops. Thus, he only approaches Sarada Devi, in woman Sarojini's guise, when, surprisingly, she recoups, and Prasad locks up therein.

Being a noble, Sarada Devi dedicated her life to women's empowerment and established a college for them. Whereat, she appoints Sarojini, a lecturer, who accompanies a student, Soundarya, as a lodger. Prasad already has a past acquaintance and loves her. He maintains two characters and gains Soundarya's sweet-heartedness by forging as a Mr.Moneybag. Once, while hiding from Kalpana, Prasad re-disguises into a modern girl, Mandakini, when an age-barred bachelor, Rayudu, a photographer, infatuated and shadowed him. Accidentally, Rayudu withholds Prasad's actual attire snap, which makes him draw out the 3rd outfit.

Meanwhile, Soundarya's vagabond brother-in-law expels her sibling for dowry when Soundarya aids Prasad. So, like Sarojini, he handles conflict by opposing the abuse to avoid the challenge. It molds him into a social reformer and wins big hail with the title Madam. As a glimpse, Rayudu's PA blackmails Prasad by detecting his secrets. He also compels him to extort money via donations, exploiting his Madam's fame. Anyhow, Prasad tactically allocated it to the right cause.

Following this, Prasad becomes like a beached whale since his engagements with Soundarya & Kalpana, Sarojini with Bobby, and Rayudu with Madakini are parallel in a temple. Hereupon, a confusion drama to skip Prasad arises a security alert. Plus, he schemes to eliminate the Madam character with Bobby to clear these troubles. Overhearing it, Soundarya misconstrues and notifies Sarada Devi when Prasad reappears as Madam and divulges the fact. At last, Sarada Devi decides to uphold secrecy because her ambitions & goals achieved by Sarojini may collapse. Finally, the movie ends comically by declaring Sarojini's death with a public tribute to Madam.
