Plot

The film begins in a village where Seenu is a slacker the public considers hopeless. Lingaraju is its venomous president who has been unanimously elected for 25 years and behested on the town. Seeta, a native, returned after several years as a school teacher in the same city. Seenu & Seeta are childhood friends, and he falls for her in the first instance. From there, Seenu makes several efforts to gain her love, which ends humorously but to no avail. So, he directly proceeds to proclaim his love. At that point, Seenu discovers Seeta's intentions and the qualities that her spouse should hold. Firstly, an upright altruistic may not be a millionaire, but everyone praises him. Above all, he must be of a higher rank than her. Listening to it, Seenu backs and determines to acquire the eligibility which Seeta aspires.
