She is good at speaking Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali and Tamil. She happens to see Chakri (Allari Naresh), who is a good singer but not a professional one. Chakri and Indu fall in love with each other. However, Chakri has a peculiar profession that gets revealed in the middle of the movie. It is to carry the old and disabled on his back for climbing the hill, the abode of a goddess. Eventually, Indu happens to encounter a rich man, Sathyanarayana Reddy (Sharath Babu), who turns her life around. He had a granddaughter by name Sindhu who looks exactly like Indu.

The film has music scored by Mani Sharma.[1] Karthik of Milliblog! wrote, "Barely functional soundtrack that begs the question, 'Vishwanath gaaru, why not Ilayaraja? Or even Keeravani?'"[2]
Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com rated the film 2/5 stars and wrote, "Vishwanath sticks to his usual style of filmmaking. Fans will perhaps relate to Subhapradam, but others, particularly the younger generation, will find the film outdated".[3] Raghu Chaitanya of IBN Live wrote, "Subhapradam is clearly a misfit. It is a dream that not only fails to draw the audience to the cinema hall but also manages to put the audience watching it to sleep".[4]
