Plot

Ganesh is a small-time crook who commits petty thefts with his friend Shankar. He is in love with Shruthi, a local supermarket employee, and wishes to marry her. However, Shruthi breaks off her relationship with Ganesh, as she is set to be married to the supermarket owner. Heartbroken, Ganesh decides to commit a huge heist in order to gain enough money to impress Sruthi and win her back. He teams up with Arun to steal a diamond from Arun's father in order to pay off his gambling debt. Ganesh is able to steal the diamond, but things go wrong when he accidentally shoots Arun's father, leading to Arun chasing after them. Ganesh and Shankar are able to successfully escape when Arun gets into an accident. Arun and his two bodyguards are forced to work for the inhabitants of a local village after causing significant damage to their farm.

Meanwhile, Kishore Reddy is a ruthless politician who aspires to be Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. In order to fund his campaign, he hires Rudra, a local criminal, to smuggle 10 crores to him from Mumbai. The money is hid in a huge idol of Lord Ganesha, with the premise that the idol is being bought for a Ganesh Chathurthi celebration. Rudra and his crew engage in a gunfight with some prison enemies, but are able to buy the Ganesh idol and smuggle the money successfully.

Ganesh and Shankar, who are now being pursued by police, hide the diamond in the Ganesh idol in order to prevent from being caught. However, Kishore Reddy and Rudra discover that the money is not in the idol. During Rudra's gunfight, the shop owner's child had accidentally sold the idol to Rajuvaru, leader of a local village, and sold them an identical one. The money, along with Ganesh's diamond, is within Rajuvaru's idol.

In order to get closer to the idol, Ganesh and Shankar pretend to be members of the media covering Rajuvaru's Chathurthi celebration, while Rudra and his crew pretend to be lighting assistants. Although both crews plan to steal their respective items, various hijinks prevent either of them from getting access to the idol. During the celebration, Ganesh falls in love with a Neelaveni, a local villager, and wins over her love by saving cattle from a fire that Rudra had created as a diversion. In the midst of all this, Arun and his crew are able to escape their forced servitude, and head to the village to find Ganesh. Both Ganesh and Rudra vow to get access to the idol on the celebration's last day, each one unaware of the other's reason for doing so.

However, both Ganesh and Rudra find that the idol is now missing. It is revealed that Rajuvaru, along with a local priest, has taken the idol. Rajuvaru, who was in need of money, was told by the priest that buying the idol and protecting it would give him immense wealth. However, the priest had heard Kishore Reddy's conversation about the money being smuggled in the idol, and convinced Rajuvaru to buy the idol in order to get the money for himself.

Everyone catches up to Rajuvaru and the idol, including Kishore Reddy, who decided to get the money himself since he didn't trust Rudra to retrieve it. Another gunfight occurs until one of the priest's associates unintentionally blows up the money with a grenade. The police intervene and arrest Kishore Reddy, Rajuvaru, and the priest. The rest escape, although Arun and his crew are once again forced to work for the villagers after encountering them.

In the midst of all the chaos, Ganesh and Shankar are able to recover the diamond, which was not harmed during the explosion. They escape and are able to sell the diamond. Now having successfully gained wealth, Ganesh returns to the village and starts a family with Neelaveni.
