Plot

Shourya and Netra are in love. But, Netra's father and uncle oppose this. So, both decide to elope. Before they leave for the UK, they arrive at Netra's village to spend a night in the village temple. On that night, someone tries to slit Netra's throat and Shourya gets implicated. The police also take the case seriously as Netra's father is an MP. As Shourya was sleeping besides Netra, he is suspected and police takes him to custody and interrogates. He explains how they met, how they fell in love. While taking treatment, she dies at hospital. Shourya is taken to court where he agrees that he killed her, as Netra cheated him by agreeing to marry another guy and also meeting him at multiple times without informing Shourya. He tells a false story and makes police take them to Netra's uncle factory by saying he left the weapon at the factory. Police finds several bodies including Netra's sister & her husband. Netra's uncle accepts he killed them for politics as said by Netra's father. Police arrests them. Krishna Prasad arrives at conclusion that Shourya planned everything and created false stories in such a way that Netra's father and uncle are punished by law. He also guesses that Netra is still alive. Krisha Prasad spares Shourya for doing the right thing. At the end, Shourya and Netra unite and live happily.
