In the Czech Republic, the cops apprehended Venky & Varun for abusing two women. Interrogated by Indian Embassy officials Vishwanath, Venky, and Varun reveal that the women who filed a case against them are his wife and girlfriend, respectively, much to Vishwanath's surprise. Curious, Vishwanath asks them about their past. Venky was an orphan with high dreams about marriage and works as PA to MLA Anji Reddy but earns handsomely. Through a marriage bureau, Venky met Harika, a software engineer who lives with her parents, sister Honey, and paternal and maternal grandmothers Ganga and Manga. Her family was happy that Venky is an orphan, and Harika would therefore not have any problem with in-laws that women generally face, the family accepted marriage. Venky and Harika marry happily. However, they began to argue over petty issues, and Venky felt tormented. Plus, their neighbor Prasad, who showcased his love for his wife publicly, added to Harika's jealousy and Venky's problems. Unable to live in a hostel, Honey began to live with Harika and Venky and created issues between them when Venky tried to tell Harika that Honey had a boyfriend.

Varun narrates his story: Varun is Honey's boyfriend and runs a hotel. Venky saw Honey hugging Varun and told Harika and her family, but they refused to believe him. He challenged them that he would expose Honey one day, and Harika and her family promised to be slaves for him if he did. Venky succeeded in doing so and was unwilling to be tormented by a vengeful Venky; Harika and her mother lied that they already knew about Honey's relationship and were just testing him by challenging him. Despite Venky's warning about the side effects of marriage and Honey, Varun proceeded to have an engagement. Venky exposed Prasad's second wife (Swarna) to his first wife as an act of revenge for tormenting him. Within six days, Varun faced problems managing Honey and his mother, Kanthamma, who had issues with each other. Frustrated, Varun agreed with Venky. Prasad joined them and theorized that women need husbands. On the former's wedding day, Venky, Varun, & Prasad escape to Europe to teach their wives a lesson, which shatters Honey & Harika when they find Varun and Venky missing.

Venky, Varun, and Prasad enjoyed their lives in Europe. One day, Honey and Harika saw them in Europe and requested them to return, but they mocked and insulted them. Honey and Harika left the place, cursing them. Venky, Varun, and Prasad gatecrashed a party hosted by influential businessman Dora Swamy Naidu on the occasion of his sons' fixed marriages. Venky and Varun were stunned to know that Harika and Honey were the brides of Dora Swamy Naidu's sons. Dora Swamy Naidu believes that a home would be peaceful if the family's sons were married to sisters, who would act peacefully by being sisters with each other. Dora Swamy Naidu's wife and his elder brother Ramaswamy Naidu's wife are sisters, too. Doraswamy Naidu had previously broken his elder son's marriage with Anasuya when the latter's sister refused to marry his younger son. Besides, Honey & Harika declined to return when Varun & Venky challenged them to stop the marriage. Impersonating themselves as writers willing to write a biography of Doraswamy, Naidu, Venky, and Varun enter his house and try several methods to prevent the marriage. Still, Harika and Honey thwart their attempts.

Frustrated as Honey and Harika get engaged, Varun and Venky get drunk and create a scene. Doraswamy Naidu had them arrested and revealed that Honey and Harika revealed the truth to him long ago. After listening to their story, Vishwanath takes Venky, Prasad, and Varun to his house and introduces them to his wife, Lakshmi, with whom he shares a cordial relationship. Vishwanath lectures the trio that husbands must comprehend their wives, who still love them despite their ignorance, whereas the latter always feel troubled. Admitting their faults, Venky & Varun step to reconcile with their respective partners. They gatecrash Honey and Harika's Sangeet party with Anasuya, who convinced her younger sister to marry Doraswamy Naidu's younger son. However, the discussion comes to a halt when John Snow, Anasuya's brother, has Doraswamy Naidu, Harika, and Honey kidnapped as an act of revenge, unaware of the scenario that happened.

John takes the trio onto a weak bridge, unaware of its condition where everyone reaches, and John realizes what happened at the Sangeet Party. Harika and Honey still refuse to reconcile with Venky and Varun. The bridge starts to collapse. Harika and Honey go onto the safe side while Venky, Varun, and others remain trapped. Harika and Honey give in when Venky and Varun attempt to commit suicide and reveal that they had sent Anasuya to them and always wanted them to realize. Venky and Varun go to the safer side by using the Caution board as a bridge. However, the board falls into the river when the others trapped on the bridge fight about who has to go first. Venky, Varun, Harika, and Honey leave while the trapped people wait for the rescue team.
