Lenin Sathya (Sachin Khadekar) stands as an atheist, with his home adorned by posters of scientists and slogans like ‘In science we trust.’ In stark contrast is Chadarangam Srinivasa Rao (Murali Sharma), renowned for his spiritual discourses and unwavering commitment to faith and rituals.
The two engage in a fiery and high-volume television debate. As expected, chaos erupts when Lenin’s son, Viplav Deverakonda (Vijay Deverakonda), and Chadarangam’s daughter, Aradhya (Samantha Ruth Prabhu), fall in love and make the bold decision to marry.
