Plot

Ramakrishna (Chiranjeevi) is a mechanic whose life changes when he meets Priya (Anjala Zaveri) at a train station. She sees him and feels some inexplicable connection and runs away with him to flee her father's (Prakash Raj) goons. They end up living in the forest with their son, but her father, who is an underworld don, kidnaps her so that he can marry her off to another don's son. Ramakrishna confronts her father and in the onsueing confusion Priya takes the bullet meant for her husband and dies. Their son because of the shock loses his voice and Ramakrishna is jailed. Prakash Raj takes the boy away to Kolkatta, where the story originally started. Rama Krishna with the help of Padmavathi (Soundarya) finds his son.
