Ananda Rao (Naresh) is a pampered son of a stubborn father Parandhamayya (Sutthi Veera Bhadra Rao). He is the youngest in the family and excessively taken care of. The care is so funny that when Ananda Rao asks his father to buy a bike for him, he also appoints a driver Sarangaramudu (Raallapalli) for the bike so that his son is safe from accidents! Paranadhamayya’s family is weirdly amazing in every respect that every person in the family has some craziness associated with them. While Parandhayamma’s elder son Bhaskar (Nutan Prasad) is obsessed with playing cards, he is troubled by his wife Poorna (Srilakshmi) who narrates film stories at an annoying length! His daughter Kamakshi (Sangeetha) is a cooking freak who tries preparing cuisines all around the world and troubles her husband Suryam (Vidyasagar).
Coming to the female lead of the film, it is Swarna (Poornima) who is fearless and ready to take up any challenge in the name of a bet. She strongly disagrees to marry by giving dowry and hence her nature is a serious worry to her parents. During a casual conversation with her friends one day, she plays a bet saying that all men in the world will fall instantly for a woman who speaks sweetly. When her friends disagree, it goes to a serious bet. In turn, she writes a romantic love letter and asks her friends to post in the name of their choice. The fun begins when that letter reaches Ananda Rao ! Being a son in father’s shadow, he immediately falls for the beautiful words penned by an unknown girl and decides to get married to only her.
Swarna conveniently forgets about this love letter and visits her sisters’s house in Vizag. Ananda Rao is their neighbor and Swarma instantly likes the innocent nature and strong ideals of Ananda Rao and falls for him. After some confusion and more laughter, the rest of the story is about how the lead pair comes together and what happens to the Funniest Parandhamayya’s family!
