Plot

Ravi and Radha are co-passengers in a bus. Ravi fights off Radha's molester and wins her trust. He helps find her brother's house in the city they have travelled to. However, her brother Venkatesh Murthy has vacated the house two months prior, leaving Radha nowhere to go. Ravi takes her to his residence where he is residing as a paying guest. He is very close towards the family, consisting of a couple and their son, living there, and has brotherly affection towards the lady of the house. Ravi and Radha fall in love with each other as time passes.

Ravi, however, is unemployed and is constantly looking for a job. He is hired as driver of a commercial vehicle, but is fired on the first day after he expels the customers for illegally carrying marijuana in the vehicle's trunk. A turn of events lead him to being hired by Murthy, who is a wealthy businessman. Murthy employs Ravi to run a truck for him on rental basis. Ravi comes good at this job, expand the business, and founds a company that rents out more trucks, and appoints his friend Arun as the manager.

Sometime later, Ravi has to visit Mumbai to attend a business meeting. A turn of events lead him to find out he is suffering from blood cancer. Upon his return to the city, Ravi's demeanor towards Radha has changed and is seen getting closer to Meena, his new personal secretary, apparently to distance himself from a confused and jealous Radha. He reveals only to Meena of the disease and asks her to keep it a secret. However, Murthy learns of this and inadvertently tells Radha about it. Radha runs to Ravi, whose health has deteriorated further, in a wedding dress and requests him to tie the sacred thread around her neck. Ravi does so resulting in their marriage, before she dies in his arms.
