Plot

Sriram (Sivaji), an honest and principled panchayat secretary in Kothakota near Horsley Hills, lives with his wife Uttara (Laya) and their mischievous son Mittu (Rohan Roy). While Sriram strictly refuses to accept bribes and follows the law, Uttara constantly urges him to earn money through corrupt means to improve their family's financial condition. Their contrasting values often lead to arguments, while Mittu's reckless behaviour creates additional trouble for the family.

One day, Sub Inspector Vikram Vasudev (Prince Cecil) arrives at Sriram's house following a dispute. During the confrontation, Vikram is accidentally killed inside the house. Fearing that no one would believe their innocence, Sriram, Uttara and Mittu panic and decide to conceal the body instead of informing the police.

As they repeatedly attempt to dispose of the body, a series of unexpected incidents and misunderstandings prevent them from succeeding. Their efforts are further complicated by Sriram's friend Raghava (Ali), Miravali (Raghu Babu), Prasad (Pammi Sai), and several curious villagers. Meanwhile, MLA Thimmappa (Sharath Lohitashwa) and his associates begin searching for Vikram for reasons of their own, further complicating the situation.

Constables Sudheer (Dhanraj) and Subrahmanyam (Kadambari Kiran) investigate Vikram's disappearance under increasing pressure. Checkpost Officer (Sameer Hasan) unknowingly creates additional obstacles for Sriram's family, while Michael (Jabardasth Emmanuel), Chandra (Chammak Chandra) and a Driving Instructor (Chitram Seenu) become involved through a chain of comic misunderstandings. Uttara's parents, portrayed by Pradeep Kondiparthi and Rajitha, also become entangled in the unfolding events.

As the investigation intensifies, Sriram struggles to maintain his reputation as an honest public servant while protecting his family from arrest. The evidence gradually points towards his involvement, forcing him to confront the consequences of concealing Vikram's death.

In the climax, the truth behind Vikram's death and the conspiracy surrounding him is uncovered. It is revealed that powerful political interests were responsible for the chain of events that led to the incident. Sriram's role in the accidental death is established, and his integrity ultimately helps expose the real culprits. The family is cleared of intentional wrongdoing, while those responsible for the larger conspiracy are brought to justice, restoring peace to the village.

A critic of Telugucinema.com opined that "sluggish screenplay, and amateurish direction make it a dull and underwhelming watch". Sakshi Post rated it 1.5 out of 5 and stated that "the film's biggest problem lies in its weak and unfocused screenplay".
