Ram Babu is the only son of a cute couple: Ram Babu and Janaki. The parents have earned so much for their son to lead a happy life without doing any work. In simple, Ram Babu is a vagabond with no work other than roaming on roads with his batch. All of a sudden, he meets Nandini, a house surgeon who saves Janaki's life when she had a severe heart attack. From the very next moment, Ram Babu falls in love with Nandini to chase her everywhere and make her accept his love, but she never reciprocates. A frustrated Ram Babu beats up goons when they tease Nandini and asks her what else he can do in order to win her love.

With no logics, Ram Babu sets on the action scenes, but Nandini's flashback is revealed by the commissioner. Nandini is the daughter of an undercover cop named Raghunath, and her entire family is killed in the hands of Basava Reddy. Because of this, she is on a revenge spree, taking process and using Ram Babu as her weapon. How Ram Babu finished Nandini's task and how Nandini developed a bond of love in this process form rest of the story.
