Plot

Krishna Murthy (Rajendra Prasad), son of rich industrialist Satyanarayana (Nutan Prasad) falls in love with Padma (Rajani). When Krishna's father learns that Padma is the daughter of a greedy miser Lakshmipathy (Kota Srinivasa Rao), he challenges his son to convince Lakshmipathy to marry his daughter without revealing that he belongs to a rich family. Rest of the story is about Krishna's efforts to impress Lakshmipathy by acting like a miser himself. Brahmanandam made his acting debut with this film as Lakshmipathy's servant.

Specialities

Jandhyala is the first director in Telugu to introduce funny characteristic traits to the characters in the film. Later on many directors followed this trend. In this movie those traits became very popular. Especially the miser character became a trend setter and the actor himself repeated the role in many other movies. In this movie Nutan Prasad gives a long lecture about his family to every person who says that he don't know him. Ara gundu always murmers when ever he becomes disgusted with his master's greediness. Laksmipathy's brother in law behave madly whenever he come across with his stupid ways to save money. Thus these characters became very successful and made the movie a classic.
