Story

Srinivas and Prabhu are roommates. Srinivas is a sincere guy working in BATA as manager. Prabhu is a parasite, who uses the money and room of Srinivas for his own luxury. The men have a pious and beautiful neighbor, Anjali. Srinivas sincerely loves her. Srinivas sends money ( 10,000) for Anjali as an anonymous well-wisher, since her father could not afford MCA education for Anjali. Prabhu takes the credit by pretending to be that anonymous donor. Prabhu exploits Srinivas and uses it to attract Anjali. Meanwhile, Prabhu creates such a situation where Anjali starts hating Srinivas. A relative of Srinivas talks with the parents of Anjali and makes them agree to have Anjali marry Srinivas. But when Anjali discovers this, she says that she is in love with Prabhu. Anjali's parents alter their decision and decide to have her marry Prabhu.

'' wrote, "This romantic comedy is a through entertainer, from first reel to the last, well handled by director Muppalaneni Siva. The presence of Abbas and Vineet brings back the memories of ''Prema Desam'', also a triangular love drama, which ends with the three youngsters deciding to stay as friends". Jeevi of '' Idlebrain.com'' rated the film 3/5 and wrote, "It's a typical D Rama Naidu film, which is aimed at masses with minimum entertainment value and strong storyline coupled with good amount of sentiment".
