Plot

Aishwarya "Aishu", is the only daughter of Lokayukta DCP Kshetrapal. She travels to Hubli to attend the marriage of her friend, Chitra's sister, where she happens to meet Shivanna and falls in love with him. Shivanna works as a servant in Chitra's family for two years and his sincerity and loyalty has made the orphaned Shivanna a member of their family.

Kshetrapal who reaches Mandya threatens to take action against a wealthy landlord, Shankarappa, unless he pays the penalty for violating the laws and fooling the government causing the latter to plot against him. Through Muniyappa, a building contractor who was also insulted by Kshetrapal, Shankarappa meets Durgegowda whose help he seeks in kidnapping Aishu. Durgegowda who has a long-standing rivalry with Chitra's family and Shivanna takes it as the right opportunity to strike back. However, Shivanna manages to rescue her.

Not ready to give up, Shankarappa assigns goons to kill Kshetrapal. Shivanna who travels to Bangalore to meet Aishu happens to save him. After learning that even Shivanna loves Aishu, her father arranges their marriage. On the day of marriage, Aishu's old friend Vasundhara appears but refuses to believe that the groom is Shivanna since his name happens to be Sri Ram. The film cuts to a flashback.

In a village in Mandya, Satyanand and Shankarappa are the two prominent landlords. Satyanand has two wives and three sons, the eldest being Sri Ram who live together in peace and harmony just like Dasharatha and his family. Ram and his brothers force Shankarappa's only brother into marrying a servant girl whom he had molested and impregnated. A vendetta driven Shankarappa uses Chakratheertha, Vasundhara's father and Satya's brother-in-law to oust Ram from the village. Chakratheertha manages to persuade Parvathy, Satya's second wife to force Satya to banish Ram from the village so as to allow him to invest the family wealth in a business after a huge crisis planned by Shankarappa forces Satya's family to take drastic measures. Respecting his step mother's decision, Ram leaves the village promising to never return. Vasundhara is shocked to know that her father has cancelled her marriage with Ram and fixed her alliance with Parvathy's first born, Bharath. Even Bharath is shocked and refuses to oblige by his mother's decision. Nemesis falls as Chakratheertha manages to usurp the wealth and expel his sister and her family from their palatial house.

The story returns to the present. Sri Ram's brothers who had desperately been searching for him for the past few years traces him to the wedding hall and convinces him to return to their native place. Shivanna returns as Sri Ram and after a fight with Shankarappa and his henchman manages to reclaim his property. He also punishes Chaktratheertha. The family is united and Sri Ram is now pursued by both Aishu and Vasu to marry them just like his father has two wives from which he tries to escape.
