Plot
A master-robber named Bittu and a local MLA named Varadarajulu plan to rob from a bank. Ravindra Narayan believes in earning quick money rather than toiling like his father Narayana Moorthy. During a chance meeting with Bittu, Ravi reveals his intention of making quick money by betting on an IPL match and discloses the location of the betting ring. However, the police raid the location, and Ravi is apprehended. During interrogation, Ravi deduces that Bittu has tipped off the cops to commit a crime and convinces ACP Raja Manikyam. Bittu successfully robs the bank, and his brother Lala takes the money to the city's dumping yard.
However, the police catch Lala, who resists them and is subdued by Ravi, causing Lala to accidentally impale himself on a shiv while tripping, resulting in his death. Meanwhile, Bittu goes to the dumping yard to collect the money but is shocked as the dumping yard is burnt to ashes. Having his brother dead and the money burnt, Bittu decides to kill Ravi. Manikyam sends Ravi to Hyderabad from Visakhapatnam under the Witness Protection Program and makes him stay at his friend DIG Sitaram's house. One day, Ravi happens to see Madhu, a middle-class girl who works with travel agent Murthy, an associate of Bittu. He prepares fake passports for Bittu's gang to help them escape from India. Ravi befriends Madhu, both fall in love with each other and the two find out about Bittu.
