== Plot ==<br />
<br />
Krishnan is an honest police constable who has two wives Rukmini and Satyabhama. However, his two wives hate each other. Krishnan is transferred to another city because of his honesty and the fact that he often refuses to do his superiors drudgery.<br />
<br />
In the past, Krishnan married Rukmini who thought that he was a [[Sub-inspector]] of police. When she realised what his real job was, she left him. In the meantime, Krishnan and his neighbour Satyabhama fell in love and had sexual intercourse. Then Satyabhama begged Rukmini to help her and Satyabhama married Krishnan.<br />
<br />
Fed up with the transfers, Krishnan throws away his police uniform and becomes a pickpocket. Anand, Krishnan's look-alike, takes his identity and becomes a police constable. Soon, Anand must juggle between Krishnan's two wives while Krishnan must manage Anand's girlfriend Lalitha.<br />
