Plot

The story starts off with Basha (Sudheer) being taken to prison. To get out of the situation, he writes to his best man, Ranadheera (Ravichandran). Ranadheera goes to Jagannath (Lokesh) and warns him. He then kidnaps Jagannath's daughter Radha (Kushboo). He tells her that he is a police officer and they fall in love; however, she finds out that he is a goon. Nevertheless, she does not leave him but urges him to surrender. Transformed by true love, Ranadheera surrenders himself to the police and is imprisoned for two years. Back home, Radha tells her brother Anand (Anant Nag) the whole truth. To prevent Radha from marrying someone else, he calls his friend Jimmy (Jai Jagadish) to put on a show that Radha and Jimmy love each other. Jimmy misunderstands the situation and falls in love with Radha. When Ranadheera comes back, he starts working in a garage and tries to reform himself. Despite everything, Jagannath kicks him out of his life. After many days and events that follow, Anand finds out that Jimmy is a drug smuggler. After escaping from prison, Basha desires revenge against both Jagannath and Ranadheera, so he kidnaps Radha, Jagannath and Anand. Ranadheera comes at the last moment and frees all of them. In the end, Jagannath lets Radha marry Ranadheera.
