Plot

The film begins with industrialist Sai Krishna, whose beloved only daughter, Indu, is studying abroad and aspires to be a top-tier son-in-law. Muni Swamy approaches him to marry Indu to his infamous son when a brawl erupts. Simultaneously, Sai Krishna finds a prosperous alliance for Indu via advocate Vishwanath and proceeds. In between, enraged Muni Swamy ploys an attempt to kill him, which accelerates a disastrous accident, but he is safe. After one year, Indu lands in India secretly and visits Kumbakonam to meet a powerful astrologer as she has a defect in her horoscope. The astrologer proclaims the remedy is that she should marry an incredible man, and the only way to detect him is through his bravery and strength.

Now, Indu returns to Malaysia, where Aditya is a valor but disparate & despond and waiting to depart from life. Indu is acquainted with and feels him, as declared in her star sign. From there, she shadows him as white on rice, confirming him to her destiny. Indu always aids his physically challenged friend Madhu, who upholds a welfare organization for the needy. Indu proposes to Aditya, which he denies but accepts after being observant of her liking, and the two weddings. As a flabbergast, Indu hoodwinked Aditya since her spouse's death is inevitable in the horoscope within a month; ergo, to abscond it, she has made this play. Indeed, she is in love with Madhu, unbeknownst that he is an imposter and regular whom her wealth has entrapped.

Next, Indu & Madhu silently slip to India, but abruptly, Aditya joins them. Surprisingly, he is aware that the entirety still wedlocks Indu, as he genuinely loves her, and squares up Madhu to shield Indu and expose his deplorable shade. After arrival, they receive disavowal from enraged Sai Krishna, on the verge of shooting Indu Aditya bars, and a strange sense starts in her. Later, Sai Krishna allows them because of prints on demand by his true-blue & best friend Keshava. Exploiting it, begrudged Muni Swamy derisions at Sai Krishna. Accordingly, Aditya patiently faces the music he thresholds, and Indu's endearment also hikes. Anyhow, Aditya confronts Muni Swamy and lets his conceit down. Infuriated, Madhu intrigues to slay Aditya when Keshava impedes him, who turns into a treacherous & mastermind behind the scam, being the father of Madhu—subsequently, the knaves plot by revolting Aditya on workers as Sai Krishna is keen on them. Plus, Madhu stabs Keshava to exaggerate his fury. Spotting it, Aditya backfires on him, which Indu distorts and reacts when Aditya is gravely injured. Currently, he is in critical condition, and Sai Krishna is angrily looking forward to his death. Suddenly, Lawyer Viswanath grounds therein retorts on Sai Krishna affirms Aditya is the same whom he yearned to make as his son-in-law and spins back.

Raghavendra Bapineedu, the grandfather of Aditya, is a top-tier region member. On his 80th birthday, his conjoined extended family arrives from abroad, and they spend a jollity time. During their return, a hazardous blast happens in the house because of the misfortune of Sai Krishna's accident. Today, Aditya is left alone, protected by an omnipotent bracelet bestowed by his grandfather, so he has no interest in life. Listening to it, Sai Krishna regrets, and Indu's faithful adoration flourishes on Aditya. All at once, Aditya disappears when Viswanath says that it's exactly one year since his family died. Hence, he has gone to their village to conduct their ceremony. Aditya holds the pain, closes the event, and collapses at his ruined house to leave his breath. Besides, the soothsayer questioned whether the horoscope became real. Then, he proclaims that he has knitted the two as they are footing each other. At this juncture, Indu's willpower is his strength to survive. Concurrently, Indu gets to Aditya, and Madhu enters the scene, colluding with Muni Swamy, where she learns his actual shade. Thus, Indu comprehends the right of their plight in her lying dying. In this light, she attempts suicide. At last, Aditya wakes up, ceases the baddies, and secures Indu. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the uniting of Aditya & Indu.
