Plot
Charan is a fun loving college-going guy in Vizag. He meets Sanjana in an interesting style. They start off their relationship with quarreling and slowly fall in love. Sanjana leaves for Hyderabad after the graduation is over. Charan also leaves for Hyderabad in search of Sanjana, as he has not received any phone call or mail from Sanjana since she left. On his way to Hyderabad, he meets an NRI called Boney, who has come to India in search of a bride. After reaching Hyderabad, Charan accidentally meets another girl called Geeta, who works at All India Radio and somehow settles in her house as guest. One day, he spots Sanjana who ridicules his love and says that she pretended to love him only to take revenge on him for the pranks he played on her during college time. Then she hands him over her wedding card. And the bridegroom turns out to be Boney. The rest of the film revolves around these four characters – Charan, Boney, Sanjana and Geetanjali. The climax is all about who gets whom.Cast

Music
The music of the film was composed by R. P. Patnaik. The Hindu praised the lyrics and music. Telugu Cinema wrote "The album has two songs aimed at the masses among the audience, and mostly melodies on the other hand. It is notable that R.P. Patnaik’s job is more of a music director than of a singer. This would probably answer the critical comments he has been facing about singing all songs in his movies. The album is just above average, however, unless it can gain some repeat value, because the tunes are not very catchy. The melodies can prove attractive to certain sections of the audience".| No. | Song | Lyricist | Singer | Length |
