Plot
Puliraju (Chiranjeevi) is a small-time rowdy in a small town. He meets Jennifer (Suhasini), who arrives in that town as a school teacher. Suhasini slaps and berates him for ill-treating his mother. Puliraju, instead of taking revenge on her, gets attracted to her and manages to join as her student. Over a period of time, Puliraju transforms in his looks and behaviour and leaves his past life behind. Over a few reels, they both get attracted to each other, but neither of them expresses their feelings. His mother, surprised by the changes in his behaviour, brings his maradalu (Raadhika) from his village and tries to marry him off. At the same time, Jennifer's family friend Rajasekhar arrives and her father plans her marriage with him. Puliraju, struggling with change within himself is attacked by his old enemies and is hospitalized. Jennifer reaches the hospital, understands his love for her and they both unite in the climax.
