The story revolves around three close friends: Karunakar (Ravi Teja), Malli (Allari Naresh), and Chandu (Siva Balaji). Each of them has their own aspirations and goals. Karunakar is in love with his cousin Muniamma (Priyamani), but his father insists that he secure a government job first.

The friends, who had sacrificed and lost so much to bring them together, are now consumed by anger and seek revenge.
