Plot
This story explores the lack of moral and ethical values in relationships and the search for true love.
Sri (Srinivas) is deeply in love with Rajini. To support her, he even gives her ₹3 lakhs. However, Rajini does not truly love him. She runs away with another man, taking the money with her. Heartbroken, Sri decides never to fall in love again and begins to view women negatively.
In another track, Shreya (Reshma) is close friends with a guy named Kishore. Kishore misinterprets her friendship as love and develops feelings for her. He becomes possessive and starts harassing Shreya in the name of love. Hurt by this, Shreya resolves never to be friendly with any man again.
Eventually, Sri and Shreya’s paths cross. They initially quarrel often. Meanwhile, Sri lies to his landlord, claiming that he is married, since the apartment is not rented to bachelors. When Shreya learns this, she believes he is married and softens her attitude toward him. Slowly, their friendship blossoms, and Sri begins protecting Shreya from Kishore.
However, Shreya’s parents disapprove of her friendship with Sri and warn her to keep her distance. Just as their mutual admiration begins to deepen, Rajini reappears in Sri’s life as his “wife.” Heartbroken, Shreya decides to leave for the U.S. to pursue her master’s degree.
Later, Sri and his friend Sai follow Rajini to an illegal hookah bar, where Sri learns that the man who eloped with Rajini cheated her and disappeared with her money. Now in debt, Rajini receives financial help from Sri, who transfers money to her out of goodwill and advises her not to play with others’ emotions.
Meanwhile, Kishore resurfaces, revealing his true colors. His friendship with Shreya was only a ploy, as his real intention was to exploit her. When Shreya rejects his advances, he becomes aggressive and tries to force her into a relationship. Sri steps in to protect her. Enraged, Kishore hatches a plan to separate Sri and Shreya. He learns about Sri’s past and uses Rajini as a pawn in his scheme. Kishore and his friends later attack Sri and Sai, but Sri fights back, defeats Kishore, and escapes with Sai. He then confesses everything to Shreya.
Two years later, with her parents’ approval, Sri and Shreya get married. The film concludes with Sai narrating Sri’s story to producer Tammareddy Bharadwaja, who agrees to make it into a movie.
