Ganesh (Ganesh) is the adopted younger brother of Rudra (Devaraj). When Rudra loses his right hand in an accident, Ganesh at a young age takes responsibility of his family. Rudra's sister is in love with the son of Rangayana Raghu, who is unscrupulous and demands a huge dowry for the marriage to be made possible. To make this marriage possible Rudra and Ganesh take a loan from a financier (Mohan Juneja) and invest it in an explosives business, only to lose it completely.
Simultaneously, Ganesh gets his phone muddled with Rekha (Rekha Vedavyas) on account of both the models being the same. Rekha's father Avinash is the boss of Rangayana Raghu. Ganesh and Rekha have loads of comical misunderstandings before falling in love and deciding to get married. Of course this is not acceptable to Avinash, and he puts obstacles in their way. The story is whether or not Ganesh and Rekha can overcome these obstacles.

R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote that "Chellata is just an O.K. film and its acceptance may well depend on your likes and dislikes with regard to a full-length comedy film".[6] A critic from Indiaglitz wrote that "Drawing inspiration from a Malayalam film 'Puli Kalyanam' director Sridhar has given a new shape to the film that is convincing because of good star cast and cinematography".[1] S. N. Deepak of Deccan Herald noted the film "for its comedy scenes that run throughout the film". He called it "a clean family entertainer" and commended the acting performances on the film.[7]
The film opened to positive reviews from critics and performed well at the box-office by completing 100 days.[4][8]
