Lacchi, a resident of a Hyderabad slum, is eager to marry his girlfriend Mounika. However, his life takes a comical and absurd turn when a priest informs his family that he is cursed with a 'dosham' that will kill his first wife. To break the curse, he is forced to marry a dog named Baby in a traditional ceremony. The situation escalates into a legal nightmare when a greedy local man, claiming to be the dog's owner, files for a formal divorce on behalf of the animal. Lacchi finds himself in a high-profile court case, fighting for a divorce from a dog so he can legally wed Mounika. The film is a satirical take on superstition and the legal system.
