==Plot==
Somewhere in time between [[Treta Yuga]] and [[Kali Yuga]], sage [[Bhrigu]] after performing Lok Kalyana Yaga, visits [[Vaikuntha]] and [[Lord Vishnu]] was reposing on [[Adisesha]] with Sri [[Mahalakshmi]] in service at his feet. Finding that Lord Vishnu did not notice him, the sage was infuriated and kicked the Lord on His chest, the place where [[Mahalakshmi]] resides. Vishnu, in an attempt to pacify the sage, got hold of the legs of the sage and started to press them gently in a way that was comforting to the sage. During this act, he squeezed the extra eye that was present in the sole of Bhrigu's foot. The extra eye is believed to represent the sage's egotism. The sage then realized his grave mistake and apologized to Vishnu. Thereupon, the sage concluded that Lord Vishnu was supreme of the [[Trimurti]] and told the rishis the same. Sri [[Mahalakshmi]] was angered by the action of Her Lord in apologizing to Bhrigu, who committed an offense. Out of anger and anguish, She left [[Vaikuntha]]. After the departure of [[Mahalakshmi]], a forlorn Lord Vishnu left [[Vaikunta]], came down to Earth, and took abode in an ant-hill under a tamarind tree, beside a Pushkarini on the [[Venkata (hill)|Venkata hill]], meditating for the return of Lakshmi, without food or sleep. Disturbed with this phenomenon, [[angels]] and [[Devata|Devta]]s, appeal to Lord Vishnu to bring back goddess Lakshmi to help sustain the Universe, hence In [[Kali Yuga]], Lord Vishnu takes the form of [[Venkateswara]] and incarnates on the Earth.

In present-day [[Bangkok]], a [[Tantra|Tantric]] Stavroj believes that by donating a virgin woman's head to Lord [[Venkateswara]]'s crown, he aims to attain supernatural powers through [[Telekinesis]], which would bring down the universe to his feet. The Tantric [[Magician (fantasy)|wizard]] plans for execution of the theft of the Deity's Crown at the [[Venkateswara Temple, Tirumala]], India for one million dollars in association with [[Bombay]]'s notorious underworld mafia don Paresh, an experienced burglar known for [[grave robbery]], and smuggling rare metals on the [[black market]]. In Bangkok, Naveena, a [[Non-resident Indian and person of Indian origin|non-resident Indian]] woman, after the death of her parents, and 23 years in Bangkok, decides to go to her home town, [[Tadepalligudem]] in India to bring back her paternal grandmother to Bangkok. In India, on her vacation to [[Tirumala]], she gets in touch with a [[Taxi]] driver Seenu, and establishes a relationship with him. Seenu's father is the guard of Venkateshwara Temple. One fine day, Seenu helped Naveena from a group of thieves who are trying to cheat her. From that time, they both have good understanding and started liking each other.

A small boy, whose parents left him at the streets of Venkateshwara Temple, was adopted by the main priest [[J.V. Somayajulu]]. The boy is a good friend to Seenu.

He also saved her life from a Bear, which tried to kill her. Naveena returned to Bangkok, giving him her address.

One day, Seenu's father is ill and cannot go to the Temple. Then, Paresh, along with this gang, robbed the crown and went to Bangkok unknowing that the small boy has seen them. Meanwhile, police starts questioning Seenu's father as he didn't informed his illness to any higher official.
