Whereat, he receives great acclaim from the passengers, excluding one Radha, a renowned dancer who does not count him.

Ananda Rao Radha's maternal uncle welcomes her with regret for the woe in her life caused by him.

Nagarjuna intrudes into their house while Ananda Rao is absent. A cold war emerges between them with mockery when Radha loath on Nagarjuna hikes. Following, Ananda Rao backs to whom Nagarjuna expresses his genuine love for Radha, and he promises him to aid. So, he forwards the bridal connections, which Radha throws down.
Consequently, Nagarjuna announces a challenge to Radha to triumph over her in dance, stipulating she should knit him. On the verge of Nagarjuna's victory, Radha backstabs him with a lip-lock, which leads to his mortification and self-destruction. Ergo, Radha comprehends Nagarjuna's adoration, grants his love, and is about to divulge her past, which he rejects as there is no need for it. The turtle doves are currently nuptial and pursue a blissful life. Prabhu, the malevolent Manager of Radha, begrudges for it since he lusts for her and ruses. Prabhu invited Nagarjuna to an art gallery as a guest of honor when he inaugurated the famous Padmini painting portrayed by artist Ravi. Here, as a flabbergast, Nagarjuna views Radha in it, depicting a mole as an objectionable body part. He also devastates, confirming its presence on Radha. Forthwith, Nagarjuna walks to Ravi, a boozer, when his suspension apexes due to Ravi's bearing and his practice of Radha's thoughts & habits in daily life. Nagarjuna intentionally organizes Ravi's felicitation for his award-winning picture and accommodates him at his residence.
Radha startles & ails to view Ravi and Nagarjuna's steps. On that eve, he makes Radha unveil her portrait publicly when she accuses her husband of his incredulousness toward her. Ultimately, Nagarjuna seeks the truth when Radha spins back. Indeed, Ravi & Radha are collegians whom he endears & rags her and vexes with a hunger strike. Later, Radha realizes that Ravi is her uncle Anand Rao's son. So, she accepts to wedlock him at the elder's insistence. Just before the splice, Ravi offsets it, stating his intent to get vengeance for Radha's humiliation. Despite this, Nagarjuna still wants the answer for Radha's mole in the painting when she quits, proclaiming her unbeknownst. Accordingly, Nagarjuna molds into an alcoholic, wavering life. Being conscious, Radha backs and declares to slay Ravi, the prime cause of this melancholy. Overhearing it, Ravi rings his father and scripts Radha's purity in a letter to Nagarjuna that he had noticed that mole when his friends tore Radha's blouse while ragging her at college. At last, Ravi is fatal, reporting himself as a cancer victim, because of which he wilfully gets rid of Radha's life. Finally, the movie ends with Ravi leaving his breath by uniting Nagarjuna & Radha.
