Budget Padmanabham Story
Padmanabham, known for his thriftiness, is determined to save every penny to reclaim his childhood home lost to a loan shark, Reddy. To double their income, he marries his colleague Ramya on the condition that she hands over her salary and they avoid having children until the debt is cleared. However, their life turns chaotic when freeloading relatives move in, and Ramya unexpectedly gives birth to triplets. Struggling with expenses, Padmanabham hires a maid, Sonali, whose closeness with him raises Ramya’s suspicions. Matters worsen when Sonali turns out to be pregnant, leading Ramya to believe Padmanabham betrayed her.
The truth unfolds when Anil, Padmanabham’s boss’s son, reveals that Sonali is his secret wife hiding from his father’s wrath. Padmanabham continues his efforts to repay the debt but loses his savings to Reddy’s schemes. With Anil’s support, he finally reclaims his house, and Ramya realizes her mistake after learning the truth. In the end, Reddy repents, Sonali safely delivers triplet girls, and Padmanabham’s family is reunited in happiness.
