Today, all the ladies conceive when Nayudamma & Dakshina Murthy force their parties to abort the remaining. Though Bose attempts on his elder sister-in-law Bharati, he withdraws because of showering affection. Whereat, Bose rebels against Nayudamma and expels him by breaching the contract.

Ultimately, Bose is blessed with a baby boy—Nayudamma & Dakshina Murthy fuse to repel and abduct the newborn when Bose rescues him with the family. At last, Bose wins 50 lakhs, but perceiving the fruitlessness of treacherous money, he shares the amount with all who regretfully conjoins the Anjineeyulu couple. Finally, the movie ends happily.
