Jaya Janaki Nayaka

Sweety, a college student, crosses paths with Gagan when he bravely defends her friend from harassment by Vikram Verma, the son of powerful Central Minister Jegannath Verma. This incident triggers a series of events that lead Sweety to Gagan's unconventional but close-knit family. Gagan lives with his father, Chakravarthy, and brother, Pruthvi. Their carefree lifestyle, involving alcohol, street food, and vigilantism, takes a turn when Sweety becomes a part of their lives. Sweety's influence inspires positive changes in their lifestyle, and even Chakravarthy embraces the transformation. As the story unfolds, Sweety learns about Pruthvi's love struggles and successfully reconciles the situation. Witnessing the happiness Sweety brings, Chakravarthy acknowledges her positive impact and urges Gagan to stand by her always.

Parallelly, a corporate tycoon, Ashwith Narayana Varma, driven by prestige, orchestrates a tragic incident involving his daughter's forbidden romance. The narrative introduces Arjun Pawar, a formidable liquor baron, and his brothers, who pose a threat to Narayana's business plans. Sweety and Gagan's love blossoms, but their happiness is short-lived when Sweety's father, JP, disapproves of Gagan due to his lifestyle and Chakravarthy's reputation. Gagan's attempt to win JP's approval ends in a violent confrontation, forcing Sweety to prioritize her father's safety over their relationship.

Heartbroken, Gagan faces a life-threatening accident, prompting Chakravarthy to send him away to Vizag for safety. Gagan encounters Falguni, his father's cousin, whose carefree lifestyle contrasts with Sweety's. Fate leads Gagan to a beach party, where he intervenes in an attack on Narayana's family by Arjun's brother. Gagan defeats Arjun's henchmen and saves Sweety's life, but he is shot and left for dead. With Narayana's help, Gagan survives and learns of the forced marriage plan between Sweety and Narayana's son, Veerendra. However, the wedding takes a tragic turn when Veerendra is killed by Arjun's men, leading to Sweety's captivity.

Facing a moral dilemma, JP is coerced into letting Sweety go, as she is left widowed and without family ties. Gagan, determined to protect Sweety, discovers a secret deal between Narayana's sister and Arjun. As Narayana's family performs a ritual at the Hamsala Devi river, they are ambushed by Arjun's men.

In a ferocious fight, Gagan, Chakravarthy, and Pruthvi rescue Sweety, eliminating the threat.
