Rahul, a football player living with his middle-class family consisting of his mother, father and sister Sandhya, comes across a video of Swathi due to some mix-up in a [[CD]] shop. Swathi is the daughter of Rajashekhar, a rich [[business tycoon]] and the sister of Rahul's football rival Vikram. After initial misunderstandings, Rahul and Swathi bond well and decide to marry, but Rahul wants the approval of their parents before they take any decisions.

During this time, Sandhya elopes with her boyfriend on the day of her marriage, which completely shatters his parents. Swathi stays in Rahul's house, posing as Sandhya's friend, as Rajashekhar fixed her marriage with his friend's son Srikanth. Learning that Swathi has fallen for someone, Rajashekhar hires "Silent" Shankar, a contract killer, to bring Swathi.

Rahul decides to receive Swathi's parents approval for their proposal and enters into their house without revealing anything, where he bonds with the rest of the family, including Vikram.
