Plot

Akhilandeswari (Vanisri) is an arrogant rich lady who loves money dearly. She has two daughters: Sravani (Nagma) and Sandhya (Meena). While Sravani is as arrogant as her mother, Sandhya is a lover of poor people and values humanity like her father (Rao Gopala Rao).

Sravani arrives in town to study for a degree, where Kalyan (Nagarjuna) is a canteen owner. Sravani finds Kalyan's bold nature and cool attitude highly demeaning and her anger goes to heights when Kalyan teases her in front of all the college students. Sravani cleverly traps Kalyan saying she is in love with him and gets him imprisoned during a rift in college.

Kalyan decides to teach Sravani a lesson and he arrives in Akhilandeswari's house as the latter's associate and helps her in income tax issues. At one moment when income tax issues are unbearable, Kalyan suggests to Akhilandeswari that somebody in the family should take the responsibility of the property. When nobody is willing to do so, she offers Kalyan the same and also asks him to marry Sandhya. Sravani gets distraught knowing this and the rest of the film is about what happens to the equations between the lead characters.
