The studio associated with Ramabrahmam’s work commissioned the new director Prasad to film a reformist story simultaneously critiquing Westernisation and the feudal practice of arranged marriages (representing the views of scenarist Gopichand). Prasad turned it into a satire of the reformist social itself. The film was supposed to contrast the misogynist bachelor Somalingam (Prasad) with the ‘modern’ Janaki (Bhanumathi) who insists on her equal rights. Instead, it opens with the culturally loaded scene of Janaki playing badminton and her feminism is presented as strident and disruptive. Janaki’s stepmother (Hemalatha) tries to force a marriage between her brother the anglophile Ramana Rao (Anjaneyulu) and Janaki, even though Ramana Rao has a girlfriend, Lalita (Sriranjani). Eventually Janaki and Somalingam devise a plot, embroiling them in many hypocrises, to get Lalita and Ramana Rao married. Middle-class anglophilia is also ridiculed through Anjaneyulu’s character, dressed in a three-piece suit and singing a couple of English songs. Bhanumathi’s sentimental Amma nee nayanammulla ashajyothula ninduga velugenamma was a hit song.
