Plot

The story follows Chaitanya, a shy and soft-spoken software engineer who secretly marries Kalyani despite her father’s disapproval. After settling into married life, the couple decides to start a family. Their plans take an unexpected turn when Chaitanya discovers that he has a low sperm count. This revelation leads to a mix of humorous, chaotic, and emotional situations involving eccentric doctors, concerned family members, and quirky friends. Despite the sensitive subject of male fertility, the film treats the theme with a light, family-friendly comedic tone, focusing on acceptance, love, and togetherness.
