Roughly 2 hours into the movie Vennela Kishore asks Mahesh Babu the burning question the entire audience desperately wanted an answer to: "Why are you doing something so stupid ?"

The movie starts with Samantha explaining that she is crazy and she has found some one who is equally crazy. That some one in question is Mahesh Babu. Then all the character artists ever known to Tollywood are introduced. A few missing artists are brought in later so that they won't feel left out.

Satyaraj along with his family owns a paint factory worth 400 crores. He is a GOOD person. He is also a GREAT person. Him, his good wife, her 3 good brothers and 1 not so good brother, their good wives, their good kids and the good paint factory workers are all part of a good singing and dancing cult.

Kajal arrives from Australia. Kajal's father is Satyaraj's good friend. He decides that he and Kajal will have to join the good singing and dancing cult. Mahesh (Satyaraj's son) and Kajal fall in love. But Kajal discovers that Mahesh's family is so sweet that they infected her with type 2 diabetes. Not wanting to go through insulin therapy and whatnot, she breaks up with him. She and her father immediately disappear without a trace.

Rao Ramesh, the not so good brother-in-law of the truly good Satyaraj gets tired of all the singing, dancing and declares that he is leaving the cult. Satyaraj cannot live happily unless he is singing and dancing with every single person with in a 10 mile radius. Fortunately for the audience Rao Ramesh is in that radius. So Satyaraj dies. With the untimely demise of their beloved cult leader, cult members start leaving. The cult is on the verge of dissolving.

At this point, the director has decided to crank up the crazy. Ergo Her holy craziness, Lady Samantha is introduced. Satyaraj wanted to sing and dance with the people in a 10 mile radius. Mantha's singing and dancing radius is 1000 miles. And if some one is out of that radius she drags them in.

Crazy attracts crazy. Mahesh instantly forgets his father's recent death and is ecstatic that he met some one even more insane than him and his entire family combined. Mantha is understandably upset with the size of Mahesh's cult. Demented Mantha empowers mental Mahesh to recruit more cult members. He travels the world looking for new recruits. He manages to rope in the remaining character artists in Tollywood that were missing earlier. Except Rao Ramesh, the older cult members who left earlier also join in.

After he is content with the recruits, Mahesh decides there is not a chance in hell that he will let Rao Ramesh live in peace. As the new and improved cult leader, he makes it clear to Ramesh that he will never leave him alone and he will stalk Ramesh until he re-joins the cult. Since Ramesh is the only sane character in this entire movie, he knows when to quit. So he sadly accepts his defeat and joins the cult. Can't beat them ? Join them !

While Mahesh is after Ramesh, Mantha leaves as things got a little too dull and boring for her taste. With the addition of Ramesh, the cult has now been fully restored to its former glory. So Mahesh & cult decides to go find Mantha. They find her and everybody sings and dances happily ever after. SINGS. AND. DANCES. HAPPILY. EVER. AFTER.
