Plot
A baby girl is born into a rich family. The astrologers predict that she will become a noblewoman with a good heart who is socially committed to the suffering of others. They also say that the girl's family will become richer. She is named Aishwarya. But it is written in Yamaloka that the girl would die at a young age.
Running parallel to this story, at Yamaloka, an aging Yamadharmaraja wants to take rest, for which he proposes to throne his grandson Dharma Raju. Aging Chitragupta will take a rest, prompting his brother, Vichitragupta, to do his duties temporarily. Hence, the grandson of Chitragupta (Venu) gets ready to replace the old man.
Yama wants to test the talent of the young guys (who are shown as buddies). They are sent to Earth to take the life of Aishwarya. Young Yama falls in love with her. His buddy also falls in love with a police officer Vaijayanti. The love factor brings disrepute to Yama. Finally, the mortal love wins over Yamadharma.
