Plot
Sundaram is an unemployed guy in the village of Talamanchi, ruled by Seshadri Naidu, a feudal-era chieftain of his tribute. There is a Hindi lecturer post vacant in the college of Naidu and Sundaram wants that. Naidu is a glorified ruffian, and his protectiveness towards women makes it seem like a vice. He banishes people from the village for helping young lovers unite, makes college students start with an oath every day that all women are their sisters, pronounces the death sentence on men who attempt to outrage women, and generally makes himself look like some sort of extremist.
Sundaram gets the job through some clever manipulation and then does the unthinkable; he starts wooing Sireesha, a very intelligent girl, the daughter of Naidu. He thinks that whoever woos her deserves her, and you lose your last shred of sympathy for Sundaram. Of course, Naidu finds out Sundaram's designs and issues him an ultimatum, that if in 15 days he cannot get Sirisha to say I Love You, he'll be dead. The remaining story is whether Sundaram will be successful in gaining Sirisha's love.
