Buchi Babu Story
The film begins with Buchi Babu, who knitted his maternal uncle Varahala Rao’s daughter Buchi in their childhood. At that time, Buchi Babu’s parents were needy in their in-laws’ house. Gundabathula Achchamma, his virago aunt, denies it, affronts them, and throws out the wedding chain. Ergo, Buchi Babu’s family quits, and he safeguards the wedding chain. Years rolled by, and Buchi Babu returned from abroad, and they turned wealthy. Presently, Varahala Rao approaches him and describes how Achchamma’s authority ruined the family, spoiled the children, and disturbed her in-laws. Buchi Babu acquires a cook’s post at their house as Maryada Ramanna. The rest is a comic tale of how he teaches them a lesson, acquires Buchi’s love, and unites the family.
