- Pushpaka Vimanam explores the happenings in middle-class families.
- Chittilanka Sundar is a recently married teacher. After the marriage, he is hopeful of a blissful life with his wife Meenakshi, but his expectations are shattered when she elopes with someone else. Feeling embarrassed, he tries to hide this from his neighbors and colleagues and secretly searches for her. He questions her parents and friends to no avail.
One day, Sundar's colleagues plans to visit his house to greet the newly married couple, so he hires an actor Rekha to pretend to be his wife. They manage to pull it off, although there are some hitches in the form of a noisy neighbor. The headmaster of the school where Sundar works one day sees Rekha smoking with her friends and informs this to him. He also arranges to buy a new HD TV on behalf of the staff so that he can use the opportunity to counsel Rekha.
While browsing channels, Sundar witnesses the news of Meenakshi's death. Feeling shocked and fearing the worst, he goes to the mortuary and identifies the body. He then meets SI Rangam, who primarily suspects Sundar as the culprit. Rangam, in his investigation, finds blood stains in Sundar's house, which are later revealed to be Meenakshi's. Sundar also fails to prove that Meenakshi eloped due to his earlier lies. Rangam suspects Rekha to be Sundar's accomplice. Rangam thrashes Sundar in the guise of interrogation to obtain the truth. During the "interrogation", Sundar reveals the actual reason Meenakshi left him.
During their first night together, Sundar asks Meenakshi about her virginity, angering her. He later apologizes to he,r but she does not respond to him. Things escalate when he tries to hit Meenakshi after she insulted his father, so Meenakshi leaves to her former boyfriend's house. Her postmortem reveals the date of death to be the 10th of the month, and Sundar manages to provide a partial alibi for the day, prompting the police to release him. Sundar's neighbor, an aspiring musician, tries to console him. He claims that on the day of Meenakshi's death, he has composed his career's best music and was not able to move from his chair.
Rangam interrogates Meenakshi's ex-boyfriend and realizes that she left him after a huge fight. The police then tries to arrest Sundar, but he manages to escape. While on the run, he finds out that Meenakshi stayed with her friend whom he had earlier visited. He rushes over to her house and learns that she planned to return to him on the day of her death. He investigates further and finds that his neighbor tried to assault her and by mistake killed her by pushing her. Rangam takes the credit for solving the case, and the story ends on a positive note with Sundar trying to move on with his life.
