Edurinti Mogudu Pakkinti Pellam Story
The film begins with a tightwad, Badhalabandee Vara Prasad/Bava, a municipal contractor who troubles everyone with greed. Jayalakshmi/Jaya, a spendthrift newly transferred municipal clerk, arrives with her naughty son Sridhar. Initially, Bava squabbles with the infant, who joins as his neighbor when he is startled to view Jaya and spins back. Seven years ago, Jaya used to reside with her sibling Nagamani & brother-in-law Subbaiahlingam, associating with an attendant, Pullaiah. Nagamani fancies herself a famous novelist and pesters with her heterogeneous scriptures. Bava joins as their tenant when Jaya is impressed by his magical intellect, and they wed without the acceptance of Bava’s mother, Shantamma. From there, Jaya cannot tolerate her husband’s tiresome parsimony, which makes Pullaiah insane. He, too, cannot afford her deluxe outgoings, and a rift arises & splits them when she is pregnant. Today, Sridhar, a greater pinchpenny than his father, solidifies the friendship with him unknowingly, which agonies Jaya. Meanwhile, a new municipal commissioner, Usha Singhal, has been appointed, who speaks an incoherent lingo of Telugu. Shantamma approaches her son after such long years and learns about the misfortune in his life. So, she gains a maid’s post at Jaya’s since she cannot cut the cords and spends time with them.
After a few comic scenes, Jaya takes a stab via Usha Singhal to rescind Bava’s contract, but he proactively regains it. Next, Bava approaches Jaya to exhibit his brilliance when she is conscious of her mother-in-law and pleads for pardon. Plus, Sridhar also discerns his parents. Now, Shantamma states imperfection is in the two and seeks Usha Singhal’s aid. Simultaneously, Bava is hospitalized after slipping from steers. Whereat, Usha Singhal schemes by swapping his X-ray with a brain tumor when the doctors declare they must undergo surgery within 24 hours, for which 100,000 INR is inevitable. Knowing it, Jaya rushes, igniting attachment in her. Hereupon, the two comprehend how treacherous & essential money is. At last, Usha Singhal unveils a play done with their son to reform them.
