Plot
The film begins with Vijay, a quick-witted gunslinger who spiced up his life with naughty bets. Usha, a spirited woman, shares a similar penchant for pranks, adding a touch of craziness. Once, Vijay mocks their Manager, Rama Swamy, by publicly stripping him off as per a game. Usha is mindful of it, by Rama Swamy’s daughter & her buddy, Ujjawala. She pledges to retaliate against him when Rama Swamy is vying between them. From there, the two move the pawns, which ends hilariously. Vijay seeks the aid of his bestie, Ajay, a theater troupe director, and Vijay also partakes in it. Parallelly, a vicious bunch of colleagues rounds Vijay Dharmalingam, a foxy, and Hareram, a fake ascetic, Rita, a sneaky. At a time, Rita lusts for Vijay and attempts to subdue him, but he detests her.

Ajay dreams of coupling up Vijay & Usha and tactically conjoins them. To which their elders approve and arrange the engagement. Whereat, Ajay is diagnosed as a cancer victim and terminally ill. Vijay affirms to shield him, so he distorts the sick notes on his behalf and utilizes the company allowance. Tragically, Ajay passes away, which hooks Vijay in turbulence & intimidation because of penalization for his fraud. Hence, he forges his expiry and is in the hideout.

After a while, Vijay decides to divulge the fact to Rama Swamy for pardon, but unexpectedly, he gets stuck in deep. Dharmilingam incriminates him in a sham of inr 300000, employing his death. Thus, Vijay molds a play into a duplicate ghost mingling with his acting clan to eliminate these dead-hards. He also splashes before Usha and evokes his memories. Hareram & Rita maintain courtship, and she conceives. So, both ruses impute Vijay as accused, which his parents, Shankar Rao & Parvati, also believe. Hearing it, Usha collapses and resolutely confirms the match, instantly fixed by her father, Raghavaiah.

Meanwhile, Vijay wittily retrieves the amount from Dharmalingam, who is conscious of his existence. Subsequently, the four knaves unite and abduct Vijay’s parents. Parallelly, Vijay’s mates detain Usha’s espousal to the maximum extent but in vain. Ajay’s soul appears as a flabbergast, still revolving around his overlooked vision of the turtle dove nuptial. He takes up Usha’s body balls and locks up the celebration. Vijay secures his parents, approaches the venue with the scapegrace, and proves himself non-guilty. At last, Ajay’s soul merges in the universe, applauding Vijay. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Vijay & Usha.
