Plot

Rambabu (Rajendra Prasad) is a flawed photographer who opens a photo studio along with an assistant Kittigadu (Ananth). After some time, he falls for a charming girl Saroja (Sruthi) and her guidance, makes Rambabu a perfectionist. Once Neelima (Deepika) the close friend of Saroja visits Rambabu's studio to learn about an automatic camera. During the process, unfortunately, Neelima collapses and a picture is captured when Rambabu catches hold of her. Parallelly, Ranganatha Rao (Chalapathi Rao) Neelima's husband is a smuggler whom she always warns him to cease his crimes. So, he slaughters her through his henchmen Veeru (Giri Babu) & Jaggu (Pradeep Shakthi) when Jackal (Dharmavarapu Subramanyam) another henchman of Ranganatha Rao captures a photograph as he is always disdained by him. Right now, Rambabu decides to participate in a photography competition for which he acquires a number of pictures, and while developing he notices the corpse of Neelima in one of it. Immediately, Rambabu informs the Police, but sadly, he is indicted for the crime by Ranganatha Rao with a photograph. But he successfully absconds and decides to nab the real murderer. Soon, he recognizes Ranganatha Rao as the culprit and follows him along with Kittugadu. Thereupon, they spot Jackal blackmailing Ranganatha Rao & his men by showing the photograph. So, they slay him, and before dying, Jackal swallows the negative. Here, the negative in his stomach is the only proof of Rambabu's innocence, so, he carries the dead body and starts running. On one side Ranganatha Rao, another side Police are running after them. In the climax, all of them reach a theater where they play a spoof stage play of the Mahabharata. At last, the truth is revealed by removing the negative from Jackal's stomach. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Rambabu & Saroja.
