Bavagaru Bagunnara 1998

Raju, Chiranjeevi, splits his life between two continents: in New Zealand, he runs a restaurant, and in India, he oversees an orphanage named after his sister. Swapna, Rambha, a student in New Zealand living with her uncle, initially confronts him, believing he beat her friend; but once she learns he wasn’t at fault, she falls in love with him.

Back in India, Raju travels to manage the orphanage where he meets Sandhya, Rachana Banerjee, a pregnant woman who is on the verge of suicide after a failed love affair. Raju offers to pose as her husband until the child is born, after which he would leave her to live as a deserted wife. They journey to Sandhya’s village, where her father, Rao Bahadur Rajendra Prasad, Paresh Rawal, initially resists but succumbs under pressure from family members.

The plot takes a dramatic turn when Swapna arrives in India and discovers that Raju is married to Sandhya, making him her brother-in-law. Raju’s attempts to explain fail to convince her. Meanwhile, he becomes involved in a dispute over the ownership of a lake between Sandhya’s village and a neighboring one. He wins a race that settles the ownership in favor of Sandhya’s village, and pleased with the outcome, Sandhya’s father accepts Raju as his son-in-law and plans their marriage.

As Swapna learns the truth, she struggles with her emotions. Sandhya, overwhelmed by the situation, attempts suicide once more, but Raju intervenes again. He later learns that Sandhya’s lover, who had been captured by the head of the neighboring village and forced to marry his daughter, is alive. Raju rescues him, and the lovers are reunited and married.
