Plot

Rajesh (Nikhil Siddharth) is a not-so-innocent village boy who wants to make it big in life easily and in the process ends up taking loans from every person in the village. In a parallel track, we have Shruthi (Shweta Prasad) who is being harassed by the local goon Narender (Ajay) who also happens to be her brother-in-law. Rajesh & Shruthi meet and a couple of misunderstandings lead to Rajesh turning over a new leaf. He then transforms into a successful loan recovery agent and decides to rescue Shruthi from the clutches of her brother-in-law. Eventually, they realize their love for each other before an insipid climax leads to a happy ending for them and the audience!
