Perspective
Sanju is a happy-go-lucky youth in Kakinada whose life revolves around his loving father, mother Gayathri, and friends. Although he is very stubborn initially about staying back in his hometown, he eventually decides to move to Hyderabad after learning of his parents' desire for him to land a good IT job. He is asked to stay in the home of Viswanath, Gayatri's friend. On the train to Hyderabad, Sanju meets Anupama, whom he embarrasses and annoys after hearing her badmouth Kakinada boys.
Later, Sanju finds out that Anu is none other than Viswanath's daughter and he will have to share a home with her and drop her in college every morning. At first, Anu harbors a deep dislike for Sanju, but later warms up to him due to his kindhearted nature and love for his family. They become good friends. Sanju also learns about Viswanath's reputation for always keeping his word and sacrificing his dream of making Anu a doctor in order to fulfill a promise he made to a dying friend. Sanju also takes interest in a girl named Reethu, who is a colleague, and they begin a relationship.
At the same time, Sanju's friendship with Anu strengthens, but when Reethu proposes to Sanju, he finally discovers his hidden love for Anu and realizes that he cares deeply for Anu, and not merely as a friend. Just when he is about to reveal his love to Anu, Viswanath finalizes Anu's engagement to Sanju's friend Karthik, breaking Sanju's heart. Viswanath and Sanju become close friends, and Viswanath gives Sanju his word that he will remain his friend until Sanju leaves Hyderabad. Sanju finally reveals his love for Anu to Viswanath, who is stuck in a dilemma as he needs to keep his word and be a friend to Sanju by helping him gain Anu's love, while protecting Anu and trying to keep her away from Sanju's advances.
After the hilarious and emotional chaos that ensues, Anu finally reveals to Sanju that she too loved him all along and asks him to take her away and marry her. When Viswanath learns about this, he angrily and emotionally tells Sanju to take her away and marry her as he is fed up with the situation. On Anu's wedding day, Viswanath is shocked to discover that Anu is still at home, while Sanju has left. Sanju reveals that he did this as he did not want to hurt and embarrass Viswanath, as he had to be a good friend to him, and he also realizes that Viswanath knows what is best for his daughter. Soon, Viswanath arrives in Kakinada with Anu and happily gives his blessings for them to get married, as he realizes that Sanju can keep Anu happy for the rest of her life.
