Narasimha, Prakash Raj, is a rowdy whose life goal is to become an MLA. He commits murders and serves as a loyal henchman to the Home Minister, Sayaji Shinde, hoping that his allegiance will win him the coveted seat. Yet his life also orbits around his sister Pooja, Taapsee Pannu, whom he adores deeply, and who returns that love in kind. The bond between them sets the emotional center of the story, even as Narasimha’s ambitions pull him toward political power.
Venky, Vishnu Manchu, appears as a carefree, good-natured guy with a solid family and a clear dream: to become a professional kickboxer. He shares a warm relationship with his father and navigates life with a lighthearted approach, until a mix-up with a shop envelope—an innocent mistake that spirals into a larger misunderstanding—pulls Pooja’s image into his family’s world. When Venky’s relatives see Pooja’s photo, they mistakenly conclude that she is Venky’s girlfriend, setting off a chain of misperceptions that will threaten both families.
Ajay, Ajay, the son of Aadikeshava Rao, wants to marry Pooja and promises Narasimha that he will secure his MLA seat if Narasimha agrees. Narasimha agrees without a second thought, and Pooja does not object to the match, trusting her brother’s judgment. As the plan unfolds, Narasimha becomes convinced that Pooja is in love with Venky, a conclusion born from a confusion that arises without their direct meeting. The tension between personal loyalty, ambition, and mistaken romance begins to fray the threads of several relationships.
This misreading erupts into chaos when Narasimha storms Venky’s family’s coffee shop, wreaking havoc, discrediting Venky’s sister’s wedding, and humiliating Venky’s father. The outburst leaves Venky confused and angry, and he vows to take a stand against the man who has disrupted his life. In a chilling turn, Narasimha’s loud quarrel with his sister drives her to the edge, and she attempts suicide; Venky arrives in time to rescue her, and, with reluctance, carries her home. Seeing Pooja on Venky’s bike later, Narasimha misreads the situation again and believes they are eloping, prompting a violent confrontation.
Venky and Pooja try to explain that they do not know each other and that the situation has been blown out of proportion, but Narasimha remains deaf to their assurances. A fierce fight ensues, and Narasimha ends up shooting Venky. Venky survives the gunshot but persists in his demand for accountability, kidnapping Pooja and compelling Narasimha to apologize and repair the damage he caused. During this tense period, Pooja and Venky gradually grow closer as friends, and whispers of love begin to bloom, though neither is ready to admit them publicly.
As the truth behind the misunderstandings becomes clearer, Venky’s friends and family explain the situation to Narasimha, who immediately recognizes his missteps and offers a heartfelt apology, vowing to make amends for the destruction he had wrought. Yet Pooja finds it difficult to reveal her true feelings while her brother is actively trying to fix things, and Venky, wishing to avoid further trouble, initially rejects the idea that he loves her.
Pooja’s dilemma deepens: she does not want to marry Ajay, but she agrees to her brother’s wishes to keep the peace, at least for the moment. Ajay becomes aware that Pooja has been kidnapped and misreads the whole situation as evidence of a romantic bond between Venky and Pooja. When Aadikeshava Rao, the Home Minister, insults Pooja, tensions erupt into a fight that puts the wedding in jeopardy. In the end, Narasimha decides that Pooja should marry Venky, and the two young lovers accept the turn of events. With the family reconciled and misunderstandings cleared, Narasimha’s support gives way to a hopeful, unified future as Venky and Pooja embark on a life together.
