One day Partha falls in love with a girl whom he saw in a temple. He also sees that girl in a church and thinks that the girl might be a Christian. Finally he sees the girl in a mosque and thinks that the girl would be a Muslim, but she turns out to be a Hindu girl named Nirmala aka Nimmi (Hardeep) who is an engineering college student. Partha proposes his love towards her but she doesn't reciprocate. Partha loves her so dearly but she doesn't show interest in love and tells Partha to stop following her again. Partha again spots her in a bus stop where some local goons chase Partha. Partha thrashed all the goons and asks Nirmala why they are behind him.

Nirmala tells that these local goons are led by a local don named Balram who has a close relation with Nimmi. After knowing this incident Balram goes to Partha's house to finish him. He tortured Partha's brother and the family. But Partha goes to Balram's house and phoned him and threatens that if anything happens to his family he will take lives of each and everyone in Balram's family. Balram leaved everyone in Partha's house and came to his house where Partha didn't do anything to his family. One day Nimmi's friend came to see Partha to tell about Nimmi. Nimmi is a college going girl who is living in peace until she is spotted by a senior named Krishna alias Kitti (Ayyappa.P.Sharma), Balram's younger brother who is obsessed with her. Kitti meets Nimmi and states that he has a desire to marry her. But Nimmi tells that she is not interested in marriage. Kitti warns her that if he needs anything he will surely gain it. One day Kitti slaps a student for talking with Nimmi. A student slapped Nimmi for complaining to the professor. After knowing about this incident, enraged Kitti chops his hand which shocked every students in the college including Nimmi. Kitti warns everybody that Nimmi belongs to him and if anyone try to hurt her he will surely punish them. Now he is in jail for murder attempt.

Partha should be aware of Kitti that he can get bail at anytime and kill Partha for loving her. Knowing about Kitti, Partha wants to win her heart at any cost. Partha tells his love towards Nimmi and states that he loves her sincerely. Nimmi also starts to love him. Kitti is bailed and released by his brother. He goes to Nirmala's house to arrange marriage with Nimmi on the next day to keep away Partha from her. Kitti goes to Partha's home and warns his family that if he again interfere in Nimmi's matters he surely kill him. Enraged Partha goes to Kitti's house and challenges to Balram that he will save Nimmi before their marriage. Kitti brutally thrashed Partha and throw away him in a drainage. On the occasion of their marriage, Partha comes and tharshes all the goons including Kitti and Balram where the duo brothers hit Partha brutally. Furious Partha beats them and tells to Balram "no one can live peacefully including your family members if you are labelled as Rowdy or Goonda, which will remain forever".
