Plot

At the end of the first film, Daniel (Bandu) and Migel (Tennyson) were jailed for more than 1,700 years. But they enjoyed their life in prison by dancing and singing songs with the other prisoners. The two were released after two years in jail by the President's pardon. Just after coming out of jail, the two are attacked by the tailor who gave them their suits prior to their arrest. They run away naked after giving back the suits and are met by a newly wedded couple. They move to a hotel and act like two Indian superstars, and soon they are arrested by the police due to causing a nuisance to the public. At the police station, the two see Chandi Ayya and ask what happened to him and Madhuri after their imprisonment. Chandi Ayya tells the story that he went to commit suicide and was rescued by Lathara's daughter, Wasana (Vasana). Madhuri went to see her mother-in-law with Sanjaya, and not much is known about her. The three are released by the police, and they start to look for Madhuri. Chandi Ayya welcomes his two friends to Uncle Lathara's house. Lathara (Gemunu) is a musician who always plays the harmonium. Meanwhile, Madhuri is caught by Richard, who is a drug dealer, and Detective Cobra's ally (Lietch) investigates her case and tells the story to Chandi Ayya and the duo. The three go to see Madhuri, and a fight takes place. Madhuri is rescued and brought back to Sanjaya, and she explains the past. The two reunite again and finally get married.
