01Plot

Vinay (Nagarjuna) studies in college where Keerthi (Nagma) enters as a new student. Vamsi is also a student in the same college. His character has negative shades. The first half of the movie revolves mostly around the love story of the hero and heroine. Dharma Teja happens to rescue Vinay from the villains (Srikanth's father and his friend), but Vinay hates Dharma Teja. An interval arrives disclosing the fact that Dharma Teja is the father of Vinay.

The second half of the movie becomes serious with Vinay's allegation on his father stating that he is a smuggler and has killed his wife. Vinay and Keerthi get married. Dharma Teja shoots Vamsi, as he tries to murder Vinay. However, the villains continue to show their grudge on Vinay. Meanwhile, Vinay's child is kidnapped. Keerthi goes to Dharma Teja for help.

Vinay finds that Dharma Teja has kidnapped the child. When asked for an explanation, Dharma Teja narrates the flashback, where he had to leave his wife to save the life of his son. Vinay and Dharma Teja are now united, much to the envy of the villains. The villains now kidnap Vinay's son, leading to the climax.
