Ajay (Akkineni Nagarjuna) is an adman (director and actor) who has a definite idea about how his future wife should be like. He gets married to a village belle Kamakshi (Simran Bagga), handpicked by his mom from her native town Kovvuru. After marriage, Kamakshi meets with a hairline fracture. The entire family of Kamakshi lands up at Ajay's house to take care of Kamakshi. She has a beautiful and greedy sister called Lahari (Reema Sen).
Hyderabad-based wealthy Film Ad Director-cum-Model, Ajay Singh Bhupathi, who lives with his widowed mother in a palatial house, travels to Sonpur to see a bride. He meets with Meenakshi, who does not speak English very well, approves of her, and soon both get married. After a dramatic return from their Switzerland Honeymoon, both are informed that they will soon be parents. They hope to get Meenakshi's sister, Rani, also married, but she refuses to do so. When Meenakshi goes for a visit, Rani tells her that she wants to marry Ajay and no one else. Initially Meenakshi is outraged, but subsequently changes her mind after Rani is hospitalized after a suicide attempt. The question remains: how will Meenakshi compel Ajay to marry her sister?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
