The film begins with Somaraju / Sodala Raju, a top-tier, holding high esteem in a village. He leads a jolly life with the villagers, and his son Murali & daughter Janaki seldom visit him. Once, his grandson Rushi & granddaughter Varsha arrive, pronouncing their love and seeking his aid for their nuptial as the respective families despise. Hearing it, Somaraju is on cloud nine and vows them to knit, which he determines as his last wish. Somaraju convinces his children, but tragically, he dies the following day when turbulence occurs between the elders for wealth—additionally, the ego clashes split turtle doves, too. Currently, Somaraju’s soul is moving around them until the completion of the 12th-day ceremony, which devastates learning about the dark of his family. During that plight, Somaraju teams up with his distant relative, Santosh, who has the omnipotent power to connect with spirits. With his aid, he makes a play and disappears the family's discord and the rift between Rishi & Varsha. Finally, the movie ends happily with Somaraju’s soul free on the 12th day, affirming the values of human relations.
