Plot

Rami and Nani disguise as their fathers (who are their lookalikes) and make a group of people believe that they are swamijis. After finding out that they have been tricked,people beat up the fathers since Rami and Nani ran away. While on the run, Rami and Nani run into a house where a newly married couple are ready to get in bed during their first night. The couple files a complaint to the police station. Since the police are after them, Rami and Nani run non-stop and jump on stage during a modeling competition and win a nilavilakku. In the meanwhile, Chandru tells a group of guys that two potential grooms are coming from America for their rich uncle and his men hatch a plan to pretend to dress like them and kidnap them at the Bangalore International Airport. Chandru's men execute the plan with two of them dressing like the American potential grooms and two of them as the kidnappers. After the police inspector Sundar Raj comes, Rami and Nani run to the airport. While they are changing, the clothes of grooms from America and their orange wigs fall on them. One shirt says "Pakka" and the other "Chukka". After they leave the airport, Chandru's rich uncle mistakes them to be the American grooms. They now call themselves Pakka and Chukka hoping that they will not lose their identities. The movie continues with Chandru and Sundru attempting to hatch a series of plots against Rami and Nani including a failed attempt to switch Rami and Nani back with Chandru's men. Rami and Nani fall in love with the rich man's daughters - Meena and her sister, respectively. Rami and Nani escape from the rich man's home. Chandru and Sudru choke their rich uncle's wife and make her faint. They frame Rami and Nani for the murder but since they act as mentally unstable, they are taken to the mental hospital as shown at the beginning of the film. Rami and Nani's fathers find out what their sons have been doing and come to the rich man's house. The leave their sons naked with only a towel and steal their wigs, taking advantage of the situation. Chandru and Sundru are confused when Rami and Nani start shaving but little do they know that they are not Rami and Nani but their fathers. Rami and Nani's father take advantage of the situation and Rami's father even falls for the maid. This confuses the rich man who had a good impression of the American grooms, who now start smoking in front of him. Chandru and Sundru come to their rich uncle's house in the night. They are confused because when they wake Rami and Nani, they come to urinate on them twice (the second time it was their fathers). Chandru and Sundru use Meena and her sister to do something against Rami and Nani. However, a flies comes into the room and lands on Sundru, leaving him injured.
