Plot
Padmanabham is a miser who does anything to save money because when he was a young boy, Padmanabham was driven out of his house along with his parents by an evil-hearted money lender, who gave him a condition: if by a stipulated period, Padmanabham could raise enough money to buy back the house he could reclaim it as his own. Ramya his co-employ falls deeply in love with Padmanabham. Padmanabham doesn't want to do anything with her, but when Ramya suggests that two salaries are better than one, he thinks it's a brilliant idea and marries her. Now the troubles start: first, his sister Vijaya and her husband Totti Subramanyam pile onto him, and then Ramya's good-for-nothing brother Ravi also seeks shelter in their house. The worst, though, is yet to come for the grumbling Padmanabham: his wife gives birth to triplets, who all live together in a small house. In a sub-plot, Padmanabham hires a housemaid Sonali, who gets pregnant after some time, everyone suspects Padmanabham, but the situation turns out to be stranger the truth is, Sonali is Padmanabhan's boss's son Anil's separated wife.
