Mahesh's mother ([[Tulasi (actress)|Tulasi]]) sells off some silver articles, and he purchases a bike to join the job. One day, Mahesh's father suffers a stroke, and Mahesh loses his bike while bringing medicines. Though he lodges a police complaint, it is of no avail. Mahesh goes jobless without the bike. One day Mahesh finds Arjun riding his bike, and they fight with each other for the bike. Mahesh learns that Arjun has purchased the bike in a black market after winning a bike race. They finally come to an understanding on the advice of a pandit to use the bike to suit the convenience of each other by dividing the day. They keep their promise and use the bike judiciously.

One day, some goons attack Arjun and gravely injure him. Mahesh, who finds him in an unconscious state, admits him in the hospital and informs Arjun's parents. After that incident, both Arjun and Mahesh become friends. At this juncture, their bike goes missing again. The person who stole their bike calls them and plays tricks upon them. Arjun and Mahesh learn that he is the brother of Arjun's girlfriend Puja ([[Aksha Pardasany]]) and he is in love with Mahesh's girlfriend Rani ([[Shweta Basu Prasad]]). He tries to take revenge against the two boys by playing with their bike. In the climax, Arjun decides to participate in a motorcycle race and get the bike as a prize to present it to Mahesh as it is a necessity for him.
