So, Subbu decides to buy a house in a locality full of bizarre characters that include a retired army officer Lance naik Bhagath, a loud-mouthed neighbor Santharam, and some demented feminists. Now, things get worse when Subbu rents a portion to Pataudi who picks it more than the coated amount. Later Subbu regrets viewing Pataudi's family, which is the most dysfunctional that one can ever imagine.
