Plot

Srinu is a lazy engineering student who is struggling to pass all his exams. His father runs a grocery shop. Srinu is aimless and likes to hang out with his friends Bandla Babji, Karthu, and others. His parents ask him to look after the grocery store, but he wants to become a filmmaker. Meanwhile, a girl named Sindhu comes into his life as a neighbor. Unable to take pressure from family, he decides to make a short film and upload it to the internet, hoping to get a lot of hits and become viral. However, they lose the camera when Babji accidentally leaves it in a stream after a booze party.

He decides to go to Hyderabad to try his luck in films without informing anyone. On his way to Hyderabad, he runs into Sindhu again and tries to take a selfie with her and sends it to his friend Babji. He reaches Hyderabad and roams around the city for opportunities in films. He soon realizes that it is going to be a tough job and decides to return to his village. As soon as he arrives in the village, he is surrounded by his father and a group of villagers, who accuses him of eloping with Sindhu. Her father threatens him to tell the whereabouts of his daughter. Otherwise, he would complain to the police. He pleads for his innocence, but nobody listens. He calls up his friend Babji to know the actual reason for all the chaos. Babji reveals that he spread the news in the village that they both eloped when encountered with an unavoidable situation. They both escape to Hyderabad again to find Sindhu and bring her back to the village to prove their innocence.

Srinu remembers Sindhu telling him that she was going for an interview at a company called Max Infotech. But they couldn't find her. Meanwhile, a police warrant is issued against them by the villagers for kidnapping Sindhu. They run into a private detective, Yugandhar, on one of their searching spree who offers his help finding her. Yugandhar finds her and brings her to his office. She reveals that she fled from home to escape a forcible marriage proposal arranged by her parents. She came to meet Hari Narayana, whom she met online. They never meet face to face. She claims that she is regularly chatting with Hari. Yugandhar finds out that Hari has actually committed suicide one year ago. However, she does not believe them. She wants to find out the truth on her own. With the help of some of Hari's friends and acquaintances, they find out his native place. They travel to his native place and witnesses his one-year death anniversary proceedings.

Sindhu is shocked to know the truth and is heartbroken. Srinu consoles her, and they travel back to Hyderabad. On the way, Srinu gets puzzled about Yugandhar on how he is able to get clues very quickly and question him. Yugandhar reveals himself to be a CBCID officer Naresh, who is investigating a mass online cheating case by a person called Pandian Uday Bhaskar, in which Sindhu is one of the victims. He was once a business partner of Hari and cheated him, which caused him to commit suicide. Also, he was the one who was using Hari's account to chat with Sindhu. Finally, Naresh traps Uday by posing as a girl and catches him. Srinu then lets Naresh vent out his anger on Uday for cheating innocent girls as what he did to Sindhu. Srinu is then shown walking to a nearby table and asking whether the man sitting there is Uday.

The movie ends with the man answering yes and Srinu hitting him over the head with a bottle and says to Naresh that whenever he needs him to break bottles just call him and went back to his home town with Sindhu. The film ends with a final note that we hope the pair will fall in love soon.
