Plot
Vamsi (Srikanth) is a hotelier who falls in love with Mahalakshmi (Raasi). She too reciprocates his feelings and eventually seeks the permission of her father (Chalapathi Rao). Her father however demands Vamsi to give 15 lakhs as dowry. Vamsi goes abroad and earns the money but comes back to find out that Mahalakshmi’s father had cheated him and got her forcibly married to Sriram (Babloo Prithiveeraj), son of a Zamindar. Mahalakshmi too eventually starts loving Sriram. Vamsi tries to win her back but his attempts go in vain. The rest of the story involves whether Vamsi will win back Mahalakshmi.
