Appula Appa Rao Story
The film begins with a welsher, Appa Rao, whose daily grind involves making loans to meet his basic needs. Every day, his home is a hub of debtors, and he’s a master at evading them. One night, Appa Rao crosses paths with a spirited constable, Subbalakshmi, who delivers a resounding slap for his involvement with the goons she’s chasing. Once, Appa Rao stumbles upon a fortune teller, Sastry, whose predictions, unfortunately, take a turn for the worse with the entrance of his ominous sibling, Irogleg. Appa Rao bets with him on whether he will be Sastry’s client when Sastry says no, but he forwards anyway. Sastry foretells that a woman will slap him thrice, she will be his spouse, and he will gain riches. As a glimpse, a rover alcoholic Brahmaji pesters by doubting all that he has seen before. Meanwhile, Appa Rao & Subbalakshmi reconvene in a spar over a lottery ticket for {{INRConvert|1000000}}, which ends up tearing. Shortly, the seller compromises, advising them to keep the halves and share the prize if it wins. The next day, the ticket triumphs when Appa Rao intends to heist Subbalakshmi’s half with a phony story, and she bestows it, realizing that the ticket came in second. Discerning it, Appa Rao falls for Subbalakshmi, presuming her bluff, surrendering the ticket selflessly, and she too endears him. Whereat, Appa Rao attempts to kiss her when Subbalakshmi re-slaps. Being in a dichotomy, Appa Rao approaches Sastry, who says the word authentic, excluding his brother’s foot. Across, while fixing up the alliance, the Irogleg intrudes, and Sastry prophesies that Appa Rao’s fiancé has to pay the death penalty. So, he pleads to avoid this lousy omen when Sastry guides him to wed a dying woman. Ergo, Appa Rao seeks to reach his target in several ways but in vain. Fortuitously, he detects an old lady, Ammaji, who has four daughters—Bangari, Bujji, Pandu & Baby—and elder Bangari is a cancer victim. Appa Rao tricks and covertly wedlocks Bangari. During the wedding night, he intentionally calls the Irogleg when his fate again turns down. Appa Rao then learns that Bangari is not going to die. Ammaji has misled him about undertaking the nuptial. Thus, he forces divorce when Ammaji speculates on implementing the remaining three splices. Initially, Appa Rao knavishly tries to join them with three beggars but gets exposed. Then, the three girls state explicitly they will unite only with their love interests.
The first girl loves a guy who has a problem with his elders. Father Eeswara Sastry adheres to classical music, the mother Mangatayaru is a big [[Chiranjeevi]] fan, and the grandmother Sony is passionate about pop music. The second suitor is the son of MLA Nadendla Anjaiah, among Appa Rao’s debtors, who demands {{INRConvert|100000}} dowry, and the third strangely is a guy seen only in her dreams. Parallelly, Subbalakshmi spots Appa Rao with Bangari, but he covers it up. The two mingle to perform the weddings of the three. Above all, they clutch Eeswara Sastry, Mangatayaru & Sony based on their interests. Next, Appa Rao foxily makes his house owner Tata Rao Anjaiah’s opponent, falsifies his illness, and accumulates the dowry amount. At long last, Appa Rao senses the third is a silly thief via Subbalakshmi and holds him. Hence, the three marriages are held at the same venue, facing twists such as Bangari attempting to subdue Appa Rao by medicine, which accidentally mixes in cool drinks and causes a ball-up. Ammaji announces Brahmaji as her husband, who had fled from responsibility. Anjaiah becomes aware of the fraud, but Appa Rao tactically handles him. Besides, Appa Rao’s debtors strive when he gamely clears their credits by Anjaiah in exchange for votes in his favor. Eventually, the Irogleg is onslaught for his fee, and they drag him away. Startlingly, Subbalakshmi unveils herself as Ammaji’s elder, after accomplishing the ceremony, who has made this play to overcome her family’s troubles using his wit. Since Bangari is naïve, Subbalakshmi has conjugal her with Appa Rao. At last, Appa Rao is left puzzled when Sastry suggests tying the knot with Subbalakshmi. Finally, the movie ends happily with Appa Rao fusing two queens.
