Plot
A benevolent mid-aged man, fondly referred to as Relangi Mavayya, resides in his hometown with his wife, children, elderly mother and orphaned niece Seetha, whom they fostered. Reticent, "Peddodu" resigns from his uncle Brahmananda Rao's company, in response to being chastised while "Chinnodu" is sharp-witted and flirtatious. Friends and kin presume that Seetha, being Peddodu's cross cousin, would marry him. Despite being cognizant of her own feelings for him, Seetha is disappointed with the fact that he never addresses her by her name. Seetha's paternal uncle, a wealthy individual, despises the financial stature of Relangi Mavayya's family; his daughter Geetha and Chinnodu encounter each other at the former's elder sister's wedding, developing feelings for each other in due course.
