Beautiful Manasugalu

Prashanth is an idler with well-to-do parents who falls in love with Nandini, a responsible girl and the sole breadwinner of her family. Nandini agrees to marry him only on the condition that he gives up his carefree ways and behaves responsibly. The couple's honeyed existence is abruptly cut short when Inspector Kodanda stages a raid on the beauty parlor Nandini is working in, proclaiming that sex-trade activities were being carried out and also displays condom packets which were apparently found there as proof of the illegal activities being carried out there. The video clips of Nandini and her friend Ratna are circulated continuously on TV, leading to Ratna attempting suicide due to the immense emotional trauma. Prashanth is shell-shocked by the news and breaks up with Nandini without giving her a chance to explain herself. It emerges later that the raid on the parlor was orchestrated by Kodanda in order to take revenge against the parlor owner who had refused to give him. When clips of Kodanda planting condom packets surface in the media, Prashanth realizes his mistake and attempts to reconcile with Nandini, who refuses to have anything more to do with him and tearfully berates him for trusting the media rather than the words of his fiancée. In order to win back Nandini's respect, Prashanth goes on a crusade against Kodanda by kidnapping his daughter Rachana. Prashanth demands that Kodanda publicly confess to his crime of demanding bribes. Kodanda appears before the media and admits his wrongdoings, and apologizes to Nandini and Ratna for having destroyed their lives for furthering his own greedy interests. In the midst of the conference, Rachana is freed by Prashanth, and calls up her father, who rushes to the spot. Rachana is disgusted by the behaviour of her father, where she refuses to talk to him anymore and leaves. Prashanth and Nandini reconcile, and their story is featured on the TV show Beautiful Manasugalu. ==Cast==
