An orphan and good hearted lad Kanthi (Duniya Vijay) is adopted and grows up under Ramachandrappa (Srinivasa Murthy) family care in Bangalore. The bond they share is like father and son. Kasturi (Rishika Singh) is Ramachandrappa's granddaughter, and she likes Kanthi a lot. Once a week, Kanthi meets a mentally challenged girl named Indhira (Shubha Poonja). He entertains her and provides money for her caretakers.
When Ramachandrappa and his wife (Sangeeta) discover Kasturi wants to marry Kanthi, Ramachandrappa decides to get them married. He makes a formal announcement to officially adopt Kanthi.
