Plot

Newly married couple K. Krishnamurthy alias KK (Rajendra Prasad) works as an art director in Mumbai and his wife Satyabhama (Divyavani) as a stenographer in Kerala for a low salary. To solve their financial problems they seek a job in a big company and pretend to be unmarried as their boss Sridhar Rao (Gummadi) would give job only to one member of a family. So the couple lies that they are unmarried and joins in the company. This has the slight resemblance to the 1955 classic movie Missamma where couples pretend to be married but here it's the other way around.
