Prema (Isha Chawla) is the darling daughter of an honest and strict police officer (Nassar), but she is currently being blackmailed by one person (Shafi). Prema's tension catches the eye of her sister-in-law (Sindhu Tolani), and this reveals a flashback. The story is about Srinu (Aadi), Prema's classmate and his love for her. However, Prema doesn't respond to his love feelings, but becomes friends with him. But in an unexpected situation, Srinu kisses Prema, and this makes her hate Srinu, and that becomes the cause of her worries. Those photos are used by the blackmailer saying that he would mail them to her father. This makes Prema's sister-in-law go to Srinu's Home in Khammam, where Srinu returns from Training of N.C.C. He, after listening to the whole story, vows to solve all the problems and goes to Hyderabad.

Though initially, it becomes difficult for Srinu to investigate, he later appoints a chain snatcher named Chain Raja (Ali) and tells him to follow her and give him updates. Meanwhile, it is revealed to the audience that the actual man behind this blackmail is Tagore (Dev Gill), a dreaded mafia don who wants a terrorist released from the prison on the orders of terrorist groups, whose in-charge is Prema's Father. Then Chain Raja watches Prema carrying a sum of money to an old house where the blackmailer is in disguise. He takes the sum of money, gives the photos, and cleverly gets the password of Prema's father's e-mail ID in which the terrorist's imprisonment details are held. Before Tagore's henchmen would snatch the photos from Prema, Srinu saves her, and they burn the photos.

Later, Prema starts loving Srinu, and Tagore implements an escape plan to make the terrorist get released from the prison. The whole blame is on Prema's father, and he confronts Prema, which makes her confess the truth. Being the person loving her and as an N.C.C. trainee, Srinu dares to chase Tagore and the terrorist. In a fight, Srinu kills Tagore, and the terrorist is sent to police custody. Later, Srinu goes to the place where he kissed Prema and finds her waiting for him. The film ends with a scene featuring Srinu and Prema confessing their love for each other.
