Auto mobile mechanic Ashok (Jr. NTR) is thrown out of his family's house by his is father (Prakash Raj), when his violent actions kill his grand mother (Ramaprabha). Ashok falls in love with Anjali (Sameera Reddy), a neighbour. However, K.K.(Sonu Sood) also falls in love with Anjali, when he sees her involved in an accident. Ashok's friend Raja (Rajeev Kanakala) is killed by K.K.'s gang whilst saving Anjali from the clutches of K.K. This angers Ashok who has, in the meantime, gone off to Delhi because of a plot by K.K and his mother (Vadipukarassi), which also involved Ashok's father. As soon as he learns what has happened he rushes back to Hyderabad to save both his family and Anjali. During the climax of the film Ashok is fighting K.K., whose mother arrives with the intention of shooting Ashok. As often occurs in films, things soon go awry and the bullet hits K.K., killing him. Ashok is then free to tell Anjali of his undying love and we assume they go on to live happily ever after.
