Ramalingam and Sundaralingam grew up as orphans and now look after a houseful of abandoned children, one friend scraping money together by dubious means while the other paints banners for a living. Their lives get complicated when they fall for Sundari and Janaki, two friends who have been telling their families that the men they love are well off. A borrowed bungalow, a surprise visit by the wrong set of parents and one case of mistaken identity soon force everyone into roles they never planned to play, from cook to maidservant, and every new lie needs two more to prop it up. This is the Telugu-dubbed version of the 1998 Tamil comedy Kaathala Kaathala, directed by Singeetam Srinivasa Rao and starring Kamal Haasan, Prabhu Deva, Soundarya and Rambha, with Vadivelu, Nagesh, Srividya and M. S. Viswanathan in support. Kamal Haasan wrote the screenplay and Crazy Mohan the story and dialogue, shaping a fast comedy of errors with songs by Karthik Raja.
