Plot[edit]

The film begins atVaikuntha,whereNaradaarrives and creates a rift betweenVishnu&Lakshmiabout the superiority of men & women, which they clash about. The tale shifts toEarth,where Balaji, a bank employee, resides with his benevolent wife, Jhansi, and two infants. Right from sunrise, Jhansi is vexed with household chores that are fail-safe and satisfying for everyone. Yet, Balaji looks down on the haughty dominance, which irks Lakshmi, and she loses touch with her husband's feet. Balaji has currently attained a head cashier promotion. He celebrates with television in installments as the first of his colony. On day one, Balaji takes charge, but tragically, the knave Manager slickly incriminates him for theft of₹100,000(US$1,200). So, he gets suspended and demoralized when Jhansi consoles him. Balaji strives to gain a new job but in vain because of his negative record.

Whereat, Jhansi is determined to work as a B.Com graduate. Balaji initially denied it for male pride but faced it according to the situation. She walks to Annapurna Foods company, whose Managing Director, Gopala Krishna, is her mate in the 12th grade. Consequently, she provides an excellent presentation of intellect with secular knowledge & novel ideas for developing the company in the board meeting. Hence, she has been recruited as their vice president with₹10,000(US$120) per month. She hides her actual pay and states only₹3,000(US$36) for an acceptable cause to retrieve her husband's job. Being cognizant of it, Lakshmi mocks Vishnu for swapping their position, but he tactically shifts their place.

Meanwhile, Balaji challenges Jhansi to take care of the house, considering it relatively easy, and struggles to compete with children's needs, inept cooking, inability to handle simple tasks, etc. The company connects a telephone at their house, which colony members use hard. Balaji is immersed in it and forgets the children when Jhansi rebukes him. Once, on the eve ofKrishnashtami,Gopal invites them to his farmhouse. Therein, Balaji loses his rag and accuses Jhansi, proclaiming it as her intentional task. Jhansi refuses to pay the TV installment, and it cuts off. Thus, ego clashes arise between the couple, which ends with confrontations. However, Jhansi triumphs in her target with the bonus due to her efficiency in a massive increase in sales and takes a loan from Gopal.

Now, she bestows₹100,000(US$1,200) to Balaji, asking him to submit it to the bank. Hereupon, he outbursts heartbreakingly since his wife also lacks faith and declares him a thief. So, he quits, and the kids, too, flee from the house, viewing their quarrels. Balaji feels fishy and threatens the manager with a phone, saying he cracked his vile plan. Gopal moves to Jhansi and learns the quandary. She calls the bank chairperson with his aid and schematically runs a play. The couple detects that their progeny is missing and secures them from danger. Eventually, the manager is apprehended, and Balaji returns to his post and affirms Jhansi as the upper hand. At last, at Vaikunta, Vishnu & Lakshmi shank hands, and all men pretend to touch their wives' feet but pull them down. Finally, the movie ends happily, and the situation becomes realistic.
