Aravind , Chandru and Kimoo have been best friends since childhood. They value friendship above everything else, including family. Chandru, an orphan, stays with Aravind and is regarded by Aravind's parents as a second son. Aravind's sister Amrita falls in love with Chandru. Chandru is hesitant as she is the sister of his best friend. Chandru seeks the help of Krishna Murthy to avoid Amrita. Some brushes with the law force Aravindan and Chandru to lie low in Hyderabad for a couple of days, where they and Krishnamoorthy take up jobs as painters in a mansion under contractor Bhavani Shankar, who is Krishnamurthy's paternal uncle. Aravind falls in love with Padmini, who lives in the mansion, though Padmini only considers him as a friend; nevertheless, she is grateful to him when he saves her from accidental electrocution. However, Padmini's cousin, Swathi has a crush on Aravind and is enraged when she realizes that he is in love with her Padmini. Swathi sends false letters to him in Padmini's name, making him believe that his love is reciprocated. So, when Padmini suddenly gets engaged to another man, Chandru stands up for Aravind's love and insults Padmini in front of her entire family, causing her engagement to get canceled. This makes Padmini decide to marry Aravind but to take revenge on Chandru by breaking his and Aravind's friendship. But during their marriage, Aravind and Padmini realize that Swathi is behind all the mishaps which had taken place and that Chandru is innocent. Padmini reconciles with Chandru, and Chandru's and Amrita's wedding is fixed. Gowtham (Sriman) is Aravind's cousin who lusts for Amrita. He plans to separate Aravind and Chandru so that he can marry Amrita. He first sets Amrita's sari on fire while she is cooking in the kitchen. Chandru blames Padmini for the mishap as she was in the kitchen with Amrita at the time, even though Padmini is innocent, no one, including Aravind, believes Chandru. Gowtham, then, turns his eye on the annual bullock race in which Chandru is taking part, by loosening the wheels on Chandru's cart to cause a serious accident and frame Padmini as the culprit, thus creating a wedge between Chandru and Aravind. Unfortunately for Gowtham, Aravind decides to take part in the race in Chandru's place since Chandru is to be married, and manages to win despite using the broken bullock cart. Chandru accuses Padmini of trying to kill him. Padmini threatens to leave the house if Aravind remains friends with Chandru and does not throw him out of the house. Aravind then reveals to her that he had accidentally killed Chandru's deaf-and-dumb younger brother (Master Abhinai) when they were children, which traumatized him so much that he never told anyone about it. Since then, he has been looking out for Chandru out of the guilt that he had no one else in his life anymore. Gowtham overhears their conversation and tells Chandru about it to anger him. Chandru fights with Aravind, breaks their friendship, and leaves the house. Aravind tries to convince Chandru to return and marry Amrita, even if he cannot repair their friendship. However, in the process, Aravind falls from a cliff and seemingly dies. Although Chandru tries to save Aravind, he blames himself for Aravind's fall. Chandru later realizes that his brother was accidentally killed and that Aravind was not intentionally at fault. Five years later, Chandru is a Major in the Indian Army and has never returned to Aravind's home since his supposed death. He receives a letter from Kimoo stating that Aravind is not dead, but in a vegetative state, not responding to anyone and only sitting in a corner. Chandru immediately leaves for Aravind's house, where he also learns that Aravind and Padmini have a young son whose name is Chandru, in tribute to their friendship. Meanwhile, Gowtham, who has been torturing Padmini and Amrita since Aravind went into the vegetative state, finds out that Chandru has returned and beats him up. On hearing Chandru's cries, Aravind wakes up and subdues Gowtham and his goons. In the end, Aravind, Chandru, and Krishnamurthy, as well as Aravind and Padmini, and Chandru and Amrita, are reunited happily.
