Once, he visits his friend's wedding and encounters an impish girl, Raaji, who has known no bounds for her devilishness. She pokes fun at Sai Krishna, and he smartly pays back. So, ired Raaji seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Hema's musical night is conducted on the eve of the nuptial when Sai Krishna is on cloud nine and falls for her. Moreover, he learns that Hema and Raaji are siblings. Soon after the return, Sai Krishna writes a letter to Hema. Fortuitously, Raaji picks it up, and she starts her horseplay. Now, she poses as Hema by writing letters and having telephone conversations. After some time, Raaji officially traveled to Hyderabad. Therein, Sai Krishna cares for her meticulously in favor of Hema. Perceiving it, Raaji inadvertently starts loving him. After homecoming, Raaji attempts to reveal reality, but she hesitates. Simultaneously, Sai Krishna's dearness to Hema escalates. He bestows a locket containing his and Hema's photos, which Raaji starts wearing and feels for herself. Concurrently, Sai Krishna organizes Hema's program in his town. At the concert, Hema aspires to wear the locket undisclosed, and Raaji is unwilling to hand it over. But Raaji is distraught at what would happen when Sai Krishna and Hema come across each other. Hence, she divulges the fact to Sai Krishna through a letter. However, before it arrives, he moves on. Immediately after the concert, Sai Krishna tries to speak to Hema. Anyhow, she opines him as a mischief-maker and mortifies him. Thus, enraged Sai Krishna slaps Hema and shows the locket as evidence of their love. At the sight of it, Hema turbulently reaches home and assaults Raaji. Besides, Sai Krishna is inflamed and distressed. During that predicament, the elders thought it was worth speaking with each other, so they knit Sai Krishna & Hema. Sai Krishna accepts it, provided Raaji should apologize to him. So, he proceeds to their house, where he converses with Hema and Raaji. Herein, Sai Krishna proclaims he does not have the heart to espouse Hema because Raaji reciprocates his feelings. Plus, he knows Raaji's true love with her last forgiveness letter. At last, Sai Krishna heartfully proposes to Raaji, and she blissfully agrees. The movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Sai Krishna & Raaji.

Reception

''Idlebrain'' wrote "First half of the film is OK. Second half of the film is predictable. This film is a run-of-the-mill stuff offering no variety". ''Full Hyderabad'' wrote "The plot, like you'd have made out, will not give Wodehouse any complex, and the performances are average. Raji has the meatiest role, and is the poorest performer. Her dialogues on the seaside that were intended to take the film to a plane of profundity make your stomach churn. But for her pretty looks, there is nothing you can say for her. Laya is just a glorified extra. And Jagapathi Babu is his usual self - you should be very clear about what you should expect from him". ''Andhra Today'' wrote "The story, though lacks in novelty, has many scenes conceived quite differently. This variety in conception has not been exploited to his advantage by the director due to his own shortcomings. The movie's pace is too slow to hold the audience's interest. Even the scenes with potential have not been dealt with suitably by the director".
