==Plot==
Gautham ([[Raj Tarun]]) an orphan blinded youngster who is in search of an eye donor and a soulmate. Once he falls for an eye specialist Dr. Netra ([[Hebah Patel]]) and starts inspiring her by acting as normal. After a few comic incidents, Netra also loves him, but when she discovers the reality, she dumps him. A heartbroken Gautham decides to love a girl finer than her. Meanwhile, Netra arranges a donor for Gautham, and within no time, he regains his eyesight. Thereafter everyday, Gautham gets some mysterious dreams. Now Gautham again falls for Netra without knowing her identity. She pretends to act as dumb as he may recognize her voice. Later, Gautham realizes the truth when the rift erases between them. Suddenly, one day, a man named Ranjith Kulkarni ([[Rajendra Prasad (actor)|Rajendra Prasad]]) enters into Gautham's life claiming to be Netra's father. He keeps a few funny tests to him, such as conducting all medical tests, nonstop 100 rounds in the ground and removing breaks from the vehicle of Assistant Commissioner Dharma ([[Sayaji Shinde]]). Right now, he invites Gautham to his house for finalizing the match, where surprisingly, Gautham spots Dharma as Netra's father and he affirms the fact. Here as a flabbergast, Netra reveals that Kulkarni has passed away two months ago and his eyes are only transplanted to him. Soon, Gautham realizes it as Kulkarni's soul. Now, Kulkarni divulges his past that he is a sincere journalist who has been slaughtered by a dreadful goon Pantham Babji ([[Raja Ravindra]]). Hereupon, he wants to take avenge through Gautham, for which he refuses. There onwards, Kulkarni makes Gautham's life miserable by creating an enmity with Babji. Gautham narrates the entire story to an eye specialist Dr. Ashish ([[Ashish Vidyarthi]]) and requests him to remove his eyes. Fortunately, Ashish is a close friend of Dharma who convinces him that whatever Gautham is stating is fact. At that point in time, Ashish learns that Kulkarni is a businessman. He immediately he rushes Gautham's residence and understands his play. At present, he seeks Gautham for actuality, and then he narrates the real past. In Gautham's childhood, at the blind school, he used to have three friends who went to eye transplants. On their way back, they witness a murder made by Babji, for which he killed them. Hence, he has drawn up this revenge scheme, eventually, Babji also detects it and kidnaps Netra. At last, Gautham eliminates Babji in the name of Kulkarni. Finally, Gautham marries Netra, and on their first night, surprisingly, Kulkarni's soul really appears and frightens him to help in taking his true vengeance.
