Plot

Shiva is a young and happy-go-lucky guy who supports love marriage and keeps helping couples to get married against their parents will. On one fine day, when he is in a train, he sees Tanu proposing to him loudly from the nearby field. Actually, Tanu was performing an act for her audition. Tanu's friend Rishitha told her acting was good, but asked to whom she proposed during the act. Misunderstood, Shiva jumps out from the train and starts approaching to Tanu, although she runs away. Shiva finally follows Tanu in a school. Tanu was doing a rehearsal for her acting in theatre. He thought that Tanu fell in love with him. But she continuously rejects him. He makes his friend Rishi's marriage with her lover and asks Tanu to turn back if she loves him, or he would never come into her life.

But Bhoji Reddy's men come to beat him because he had beaten up his son. He says that if she turns back, he would beat them up; if she doesn't, he would come with them. Eventually, Abhi, who was looking for Shiva, takes Tanu with him. Shiva beats them up after a man says that she turned back. Abhi reveals that Tanu was always lucky for him and wants to marry her. Shiva takes her away at her wedding, leaving a fight between Abhi and Bhoji. They both unite and search for Shiva. Tanu and Shiva go to Goa. In that time, Tanu falls for him. When she is about to propose to him, he fights with some goons to make two lovers unite. As he is seriously wounded, she asks him either she or they. Shiva eventually supports them, which makes her emotional. Bhoji kidnaps her. Shiva's father reveals that his son's real name is Ram. Ram and Shiva were best friends, until Shiva committed suicide. Ram learns that he loved a girl who also committed suicide. He hid this because Ram would risk his life to get them married. After hearing this, Tanu realizes her mistake, Bhoji too gives up, and Abhi goes through memory loss. As the film ends on a happy note, Tanu meets Shiva/Ram at a mall, proposes to him, which Ram/Shiva accepts, and they live happily together.
