Plot

The film begins with four friends: Ram Murthy, a hotel server; Damodaram, a photographer; Kotaiah, a chariot rider; and Bhadraiah, a bandmaster. Ram Murthy resides with his wife, Shanti, and two sons, Raja & Sandeep; Damodar has a son, Siva; Kotaiah poses two sons, Ashok & Suresh, and Bhadraiah stays with his spouse Malati, & two girl progeny, Latha & Rani. Furthermore, Raja & Siva are also soulmates who share beyond relationships.

Once, the four mates buy a lottery ticket from a drunkard, a triumph. Accordingly, spiteful Damodaram & Kotaiah ruse slaughtering Bhadraiah incriminates Ram Murthy, also backstabs and is declared dead. Ram Murthy's wife, Shanti, dies in a hit, and the infants are left alone. Mary, their ally, rears them with her daughter Julie. Damodaram & Kotaiah constructed a fabulous hotel by exchanging the lottery, and Siva moved abroad for higher education on Raja's force.

Years pass, and the blackguards become tycoons, leading high-level smuggling with Ashok & Suresh under a crime lord, Don, who is unbeknownst. Raja is a jovial waiter at their hotel and delights everyone. He strives hard to civilize Sandeep and accommodate Mary & Julie. In foreign, Siva finishes school yet is still cordial with Raja & Julie. Plus, she implicitly endears him from childhood. Fortuitously, Siva acquaints Latha and crushes, but the dark fate makes her misconstrue him. From there, he molds into an alcoholic. Soon after, Latha lands at the Raja's workplace, and she imparts his love. Sandeep & Rani are collegians and sweethearts.

Meanwhile, Damodaram chooses to stop his felonies because of Siva's homecoming, for which Don's agent, KK, spooks him. So, Damodaram wipes him out. Parallelly, Siva returns, ailing when Raja probes for details and startles to gain his fondness for Latha. Ergo, he decides to give up, and Julie also backs, giving an ear. Raja forges with Julie, creating himself an imposter by receiving Latha's detestation, which Siva, too, takes amiss. Siva is free from his vices, and Damodaram fixes the alliance with Latha. At the same time, Sandeep also approaches, and Malati denies him, hearing his parentage via Damodaram. Thus, he walks out by challenging his father to be proclaimed, not the culprit.

As a flabbergast, Ram Murthy is alive in Hong Kong, guarded by Don according to destiny. They obtain info that Damodaram & Kotaiah are guilty of KK's death, so Don lets Ram Murthy seek vengeance in his guise. He steps into his ex-hotel, where the owner, Mastan, detects him. Mindless of a hellish hue, Mastan notifies Kotaiah, who wiles to slay him with Damodaram. Ram Murthy spots Mary, but she becomes an accident victim whom he carries. Siva discerns his friend's sacrifice, so he acts by announcing Raja & Julie's nuptial. Hence, Julie attempts suicide, and Sandeep secures her, and all of them set foot in the same venue. Whereat, Siva retrieves Raja's love and catches Julie's hand. Suddenly, Ashok attacks Damodaram, but he skips. Amidst the turmoil, Ram Murthy seizes Siva & Ashok, and Raja chases him. On the verge of being put by Raja to death, he recognizes him via Mary when Siva also joins them.

Besides, enraged Damodaram advances to Kotaiah and Sandeep behind him. Damodaram exposes evidence of Bhadraiah's murder, which he captured to be sure. In that skirmish, Kotaiah kills Damodaram, but he delivers the proof to Sandeep before dying. Anyhow, Sandeep impounds when Kotaiah mortgages him with Ram Murthy for Ashok. At that moment, Don strikes out of the blue and grips Ram Murthy's attestation. Then, he threatens Ram Murthy to surrender to the Hong Kong police on his behalf, aiming the gun at the trio. Don allows the three to go and plots to assassinate them at their residence by his son John, but their beloveds risk-frees the trio. Tragically, Mary loses her life over there. At last, the trio ceases the miscreants by shielding Ram Murthy and justifies him as the nonguilty. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of the trio with their fiancées, and again, the same drunkard visits their new hotel to sell a lottery ticket.
