Plot
In a village by a coastal area, Sivudu belongs to a lower caste, and Kathyayani is a chaste Brahmin. When the village head, who is also Kathyayani's strict Brahmin father, learns that they fell in love, he decides to hang them off because inter-caste love/marriage is a sin as per their village laws and the consequences of previous experiences regarding inter-caste love. These two souls take a rebirth. Kathyayani is born as Uma, a sister of a powerful politician. Sivudu is born as Kaasi, an NRI orphan who returns from Los Angeles to do a Telugu music video album. He is in search of a pristine Telugu girl and finds Uma. They fall in love, but her politician brother wants her to marry his nephew. Uma and Kaasi run away from Vizag city to the coastal area, and incidentally, they land in a place where Kathyayani and Sivudu lived. The village men identify them. The rest of the film is all about how it all ends well.
