Plot

The film begins with a cop, Bhaskar Chenmai / Bachi, the special branch. He falls for a beautiful ingénue Venkata Lakshmi. Suddenly, a piece of spectacular news rocks the country that a hick Tatineni Koteswara Rao wins ₹50 crore (US$6.0 million) in the Paris lottery. Accordingly, various gangsters and burglars behind him acquire the ticket. Since he has severe life threats, the government appoints Bachi as his chief security officer. A fat cat, Satyambabu, accounts him with all the facilities to snatch the ticket.

One day, Bachi receives a courier which delivers a boy named Habibi from Dubai. He proclaims himself as his father with the affirmation of his mother Parvati. From there, he makes his life forlorn, and Bachi whacks to dispose of him but fails. In addition, he creates a rift in his love. However, as time goes by, Bachi gets affectionate toward Habibi. Now, he starts unraveling when he is aware that another Bachi, a tomcat, had resided at his residence before. Parallelly, Parvati plays a hide-and-seek game with him; unbeknownst, he protects her from endangerment. Thus, he strives hard to capture both Parvati and Bachi-2. Ultimately, he cracks the whereabouts of Bachi-2 and ascertains that he has no bearing on Habibi.

Sundry elite groups, officials, and respectable in society bestow high amounts to Koteswara Rao on assurance of Satyambabu. One fine morning absconds announcing the lottery is a back fence talk, which leaves Satyambabu bankrupt. The incident takes aback, and the entire department is on Koteswara Rao's hunt. Afterward, a social welfare organization retrieves Habibi as he is wrongly delivered. However, Bachi bars them as they are strongly correlated. Eventually, via them, he traces Parvati lying in an ailing position in a hospital. At that point, surprisingly, she states herself as the sibling of Venkatalakshmi, who an impostor deceives. Further, Parvati professes that the reason behind nearing her boy to Bachi is that he will fasten him in the future. Here, Bachi tells Parvati to rear Habibi as his own, and she happily leaves her breath.

Meanwhile, Koteswara Rao rushes to change his face through cosmetic surgery. Venkata Lakshmi spots this and informs Bachi. Immediately, he rides, but Koteswara Rao flees using Habibi as a shield. Bachi backs him when, as a flabbergast, Bachi divulges that Koteswara Rao is the one who hoodwinked Parvati and Habibi is his progeny. Listening to it, he requests Bachi to maintain secrecy and let Habibi stay as his son only. At last, Koteswara Rao surrenders before the judiciary. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Bachi and Venkatalakshmi.
