Meanwhile, Sathyabhama, a modern city girl who gets married to Rajababu hoping that he is rich, is stunned to learn the 'true circumstances' and her reactions form part of the film's light-hearted humor. Despite the humorous situations they find themselves in, both Rajababu and Sathyabhama eventually form a deep romantic bond grounded in honesty and companionship. Their relationship is not only heart-warming but also reflects the importance of transparent communication in a relationship, making it an element that the viewers can relate to.

In a parallel narrative element, the stunning Madhu Shalini plays an intricate and interesting role, adding layers of complexity and interest to the overall plot, creating an engaging subplot that intertwines with the main story arc.

The film beautifully captures the thriving contrast between village and urban lifestyles, traditional and modern ideologies, and the hilarity that originates from their clash.
