Plot
Prasad (Rajendra Prasad) a dubbing artist, his close friend Bobby (Subhalekha Sudhakar) loves a girl Kalpana (Latha Sri), keeping him by his side. But actually Kalpana falls for Prasad. Being incognizant of it, they move with the marriage proposal to Kalpana's brother Major Chandrakanth (Vijaya Rangaraju) a dictatorial personality and fixes the alliance. Just after, Bobby's grandmother Sarada Devi (Sowcar Janaki) is on her deathbed and wants to see the bride as a last wish. Immediately, Prasad rushes to Kalpana when he realises the truth, but maintains silence as scared of her brother. During that plight, Prasad reaches Sarada Devi in the woman disguise as Sarojini. But unexpectedly, Sarada Devi recovers and Prasad is stucks up therein. Later, Sarada Devi appoints Sarojini as a lecturer in her college where he loves a beautiful girl Soundarya (Soundarya). Now Prasad manages two characters and makes Soundarya accept his love. After some comic incidents, Sarojini turns as a social reformer and becomes very successful as Madam. Meanwhile, once escaping from Kalpana, Prasad again changes his attire as a modern woman Mandakini. Thereupon, an aged bachelor Rayudu (Nagesh) who is a photographer infatuated towards Mandakini. Currently, Prasad extends the 3rd attire too as Rayudu holds a photograph that shows his real form. Thereafter, to discard these problems Prasad & Bobby make a game plan and eliminates the Madam character. Unfortunately, Soundarya overhears their conversation, informs Sarada Devi when Prasad again appears as Madam and divulges the fact. At last, Sarada Devi decides to uphold secrecy because her ambitions & goals achieved by Prasad as Sarojini may be destroyed. Finally, they proclaim the world that Sarojini has died and the movie ends public giving tribute to Madam.
