Sivagami Nachiyar ([[Rajasulochana]]) is an arrogant millionaire who lives with her two daughters Geetha ([[Vijayashanti]]) and Sitta ([[Radha (actress)|Radha]]) in her palacial, ancestral bungalow. She is extremely strict with everyone, including her two daughters, and forbids them from looking out of the house window, or even stepping out of the house. She also insults and rejects many millionaire suitors for them, which disappoints her daughters as they feel that they may not get married at all. However things take a turn when Nachiyar leaves home on an important work for ten days. Relieved, Geetha and Seeta finally venture out of the house. They run into two petty crooks, Buddy Raju ([[Suresh (actor)|Suresh]]) and Putturaja ([[Karthik (actor)|Karthik]]). After some hilarious confrontations, they eventually fall in love with them. However, Nachiyar has rejected numerous millionaires themselves, so her daughters know that she will never, in her wildest dreams, accept two petty crooks as her sons-in-law. | Sivagami Nachiyar ([[Rajasulochana]]) is an arrogant millionaire who lives with her two daughters Geetha ([[Vijayashanti]]) and Sitta ([[Radha (actress)|Radha]]) in her palacial, ancestral bungalow.
