Plot

Gundamma (Nirmalamma) is a bold & straightforward old lady who has 2 grandsons, Pedda Gopala Krishna / Peddodu (Rajendra Prasad) and Chinna Gopala Krishna / Chinnodu (Subhalekha Sudhakar). Gundamma looks for matches for both, but Peddodu disagrees with it because he wants to make a love marriage. The bride is his father's close friend Gangadharam's (Suthi Veerabhadra Rao)'s daughter Saroja (Rajani). Unknowingly, Saroja joins in Peddodu's office and both of them start liking each other. Meanwhile, Chinnodu goes to fix up the match with a village girl Lakshmi (Poornima) seen by his grandmother. At first sight, itself he falls for Lakshmi and she too likes him. Eventually, Gangadharam meets Peddodu to finalize the match, but he insults him and sends him out, without knowing that he is Saroja's father. Angered, Saroja reaches their house, but by mistake, she strikes Chinnodu. After that, Saroja comes to know the truth and she starts hating Peddodu. Once both of them visit a camp on official work where they go into the hands of a man called Gun Papa Rao (Kota Srinivasa Rao), whose aim is to help lovers. He mistakes them as lovers and forcibly takes them along with him, but they somehow escape from him when both fall in love. On the other side, due to misunderstandings, Chinnodu's alliance with Lakshmi gets canceled, so, Peddodu gives him an idea to elope with her. Chinnodu reaches their village, both of them plan to run away. But unfortunately, Chinnodu is not able to catch the bus on time and Lakshmi alone leaves to the city, where she goes into the trap of jackal Veeraraju, who runs a brothel house. Veeraraju's wife is good at nature, she helps Lakshmi to write a letter to Chinnodu and it goes into the hands of Peddodu. Reading that letter, Saroja suspects and leaves him. Peddodu immediately rushes to protect Lakshmi, by that time Veeraju comes to know that his wife is helping Lakshmi, so, he beats her very badly. Everyone thinks that she died, seeing this, Lakshmi escapes and the blame comes on Peddodu. At that same time, Chinnodu clears all the doubts of Saroja. Both of them go to meet Peddodu when they come to know the entire story. Now it is a comic confusion drama, all of them are in search of Lakshmi, at last, with the help of Gun Papa Rao, they prove their innocence.
