Suddenly, a young woman named Krishnaveni (Genelia D'Souza) enters in his life and everything changes unexpectedly. Ganesh quickly falls in love with her but she loves Kishore (Harshvardhan Rane) and for that she elopes from her home as her father Naidu (Nassar) does not approve of her choice. But Kishore doesn't turn up and she feels cheated. Ganesh's selfish nature gets him to lie to Krishnaveni and he takes her home to Naidu in the hope of making some money.

But Ganesh realizes his mistake once he sees Naidu and his family and brings Krishnaveni back to Malaysia. As a cheated Krishnaveni begins rebuilding her life with Ganesh's support, love blossoms between the two. Into this situation enters Kishore, who is desperate to win back Krishnaveni's love. Meanwhile, Naidu is furious about the whole episode and engages the services of Malaysia Don Salim Bhai (Shawar Ali) to trap Ganesh. Ganesh uses all his guile to thwart Salim Bhai and throw Kishore off the track. Whether he is successful and if Krishnaveni accepts him in the end forms the crux of the story.
