Plot

Chanti, a young bachelor, detests weddings, observing conflicts among various couples. Despite being compelled, he is in a state of inner conflict. During that, his mate Babu Rao enlightened him to select 16-year-old immature girls. His hunt ends when he finds a callow beauty, Papai, whom he marries and starts a delightful life. However, Chanti always counterfeits his wife and conceits that he has close intimacy with the stalwarts. Amazingly, they all appear before him and reply as his dear, which throws him into chaos. Later, Rekha Papai's buddy divulges it as her play to prove Chanti is a hoaxer. Papai still firmly believes in Chanti's righteousness and is fond of her. Accordingly, she challenges Rekha and makes another plot to confirm it. So, she calls Chanti about Papai's presence in a hotel room. Dismally, it misfires by the entrance of an absconding guy from the police into the room. Chanti suspects Papai's chastity, faces mortification, and expels her. Now Papai conceives, but Chanti loathes her, so she attempts suicide. At last, Chanti is conscious of actuality and rescues Papai. Finally, the movie ends happily with the couple's reunion.
