==Plot==
The film begins in a bourgeoisie compound where three families reside: Bhaskar, a bus conductor. Narasimham, a typist, and Dharma Rao, an accountant. Narasimham has three daughters, Lakshmi, Uma & Aruna. Lakshmi knitted to a lazy burg & gambler, Mohan, who lives on them and pesters for his lavish expenses. Narasimham is seeking an alliance with Uma, but it is hog-tying because of dowry. Aruna is a lavish who imagines a separate rich world and aspires to splice a Mr. Moneybag. Exploiting it, a vicious shark, Ramesh, a driver, clutches her by forging as a tycoon. Besides, Dharma Rao is candid, but his wife Varalakshmi is accustomed to spending life for vanity. Eventually, Bhaskar feels an affinity with his neighbors and falls for Aruna, but she is hostile. Once, Narasimham & Uma attempt suicide due to frequent refusals of the matches when Bhaskar guards them. Moreover, he couples Aruna with the adjoin LIC Agent Sudhakar, discerning his endearment of her. Dharma Rao endures a fiscal crisis, so he takes bribes but terminates, and his daughter Rani dies in that mishap. Hereupon, Bhaskar aids by retrieving his job, which transforms Varalakshmi, too, and they leave the town. Once, Mohan was at fault for perjury in the judiciary, which penalized him. Bhaskar reforms him to take the right path. Being conscious of his sweetheart on Aruna, everyone appeals to her for wedlock, which she denies, scorning his status. Whereat, Bhaskar senses Ramesh’s claw on Aruna. At last, he ceases him and shields her with the aid of Mohan & Sudhakar when she comprehends his virtue. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Bhaskar & Aruna.
