Plot

[edit]

Venkataramana alias "Venky" is from a poor family who meets Sujatha at his college and falls in love with her. After many meetings, Sujatha falls in love with Venky. However, Sujatha's father learns about this from an astrologer where he fixes Sujatha's marriage with her cousin Raghu, a womanizer and rogue. Raghu falls in love with Sujatha at first sight, where he warns her to never fall or marry anyone. After her engagement, Sujatha meets Venky at the temple, where Raghu also arrives with his gang and thrashes Venky. Despite this, Venky gets determined and warns Raghu that he and Sujatha will get married and will take Sujatha at 7:00 am. Enraged, Raghu tells the family to complete the wedding. Sujatha goes into the room to change, but she is actually waiting for Venkat after learning about his message. Venkat and Sujatha escape before Raghu arrives. After an intense chase, Venky and Sujatha are cornered by Raghu and his men in the forest. Venky and Raghu challenge each other in an intense hand-to-hand combat, where Venky finally defeats Raghu. With Sujatha's father's approval, Venky and Sujatha get married in presence of Raghu and her family members.
