Plot
The Aatmalingam of the Himalayas possesses enormous divine powers. Once every 72 years, Akasa Ganga from the sky flows into Aatmalingam. Those who drink Akasa Ganga's holy water become younger for eternity and gain supernatural powers. In 1932, a youngster named Bhatia (Bhupinder Singh) attempts to get hold of the Atmalingam from a cave but ends up losing his right arm. As time progresses, Bhatia (Tinnu Anand) is 99 years old. He searches for the Aatmalingam traces, but in vain. The Akasaganga is slated to flow to earth for the Atmalingam in 2004. Finally, he gets to know about a professor who made a lifetime research on the Aatmalingam and Akasaganga who possesses vital information in a red diary. Fearing for his life and this information, the professor sends the diary to his student Swapna (Namrata Shirodkar), who is in the USA so that Bhatia will not be able to get the divine powers. After receiving the diary, Swapna, sensing danger to her professor, comes back to India in search of him, only to find him killed. While escaping from Bhatia, she runs into Anji (Chiranjeevi), a Good Samaritan in Uravakonda forest area who serves the most revered Sivanna (Nagendra Babu), an ayurvedic specialist, while also raising four orphans. One day, Anji stumbles on the Aatmalingam and gets it into his possession. After coming to know about it, Bhatia and his men are after Anji and Swapna. As the D-Day of Akasa Ganga is fast approaching, Sivanna advises Anji that the Aatmalingam should be sent back to where it belongs. The rest of the movie shows how Anji returns the Aatmalingam to the temple in the Himalayas while also defeating Bhatia.
