Jagapati Babu is on a stronger turf when he has a story that revolves around familial ties and sentiment. His father Murali Mohan dies leaving behind a secret – a second family in debts, unmarried sister and a son Hari (Shashank) who is addicted to drugs. Jagapati takes on the responsibility to make a wastrel into a responsible person and when he is nearing his goal, the truth that Jagapati and Shashank are brothers is revealed and the latter is on a revenge-seeking trip. There is Meera (Meera Jasmine), a florist who falls in love with Jagapathi but their relationship is estranged as Jagapathi gives more importance to Shashank than her. Amidst all this there is Shashank's love interest Gowri Munjal, wants to see him as a changed person and Sonu Sood, Jagapati's brother who plays spoilsport. The film's fine emotional core comes from Shashank and if it's anyone who gains from the film it's him.
