Plot

Sanju is a computer engineering graduate but lost his job. His life is complicated now because he has taken a loan from a predatory moneylender named Vatti Raja and is not able to repay the amount. Amu's father Srinivas refuses her marriage with Sanju as he is jobless. Amu decides to elope with Sanju, and his friend Mani gives him the money for paying off his debt to Raja. On their way, Amu's chain is snatched, and Sanju's money is stolen. Raja calls Sanju and asks him to settle the money by 5p.m.

Srinivas lodges a complaint with Sub-Inspector Padmavathi against Sanju on charges of kidnapping Amu and gives his number. Padmavathi calls Sanju and tells him that he should come along with Amu to the police station by 5PM, but problems are yet to come; Sanju's brother-in-law asks money from him to start a business by 5PM and sticks him with a restaurant bill that Mani again has to pay. On the other hand, Amu is kidnapped by Raja's men and stuffed in the dickey of his car after they assume she is the girlfriend of Manik, who also has to return money to Raja. With all these problems, Sanju is desperate for a solutions.

Sanju comes across Manik and decides to snatch his chain, but in a twist of fate he is hit by an auto and Sanju ends up saving him. At the hospital, Manik's brother Posani Balakrishna, a wannabe big shot, promises Sanju of a job in his company. He decides to kill the auto owner, who turns out to be Vaddi Raja, and takes an unwilling Sanju along. However, Padmavathi arrives and says that Raja died in an accident. A flashback reveals that Lighthouse (Shani Salmon), the man who stole Amu's chain and Sanju's money, had borrowed some money from Raja, too. He plots with two others in having the money for themselves and stealing Raja's car. While the plan works out perfectly, Raja's men went behind the car, and Raja goes behind the other man. In the chase, Raja is hit by an auto and dies; it turns out the driver had also been indebted to him and was told to cover up his non-working brakes, and was also the one who hit Manik.

Finally, Sanju meets the men who stole his money and involves in a brawl with them. He finds his money and Amu, who sees that the chain thief was also in Lighthouse's gang and finds her chain in the car. Sanju gives the money to his brother-in-law, and the movie ends with a happy note that "Time is of two types: good time and bad time. Good will come following every bad time in life".
