Plot[edit]
Gudumba Shankar (Pawan Kalyan) is a small-time thief who makes a living by arresting people. On his way to Mumbai, he accidentally meets Gowri (Meera Jasmine). Both of them are forced to travel together. A few more incidents make them good friends. Shankar realizes that Gowri is a girl who ran away from her house. By then, they start having feelings for each other. A rowdy named Kumaraswamy (Ashish Vidyarthi) wants to marry Gowri forcibly,as her astrology is auspicious for him, which is why she runs away from her home. Soon, Kumarasamy takes Gowri back to the house.
Kumaraswamy is extremely superstitious and heavily depends on the astrology of Parabrahma Swamy (Brahmanandam). Shankar blackmails Parabrahma (to disclose his illicit affair) and joins the wedding house as the wedding planner along with Ali and two other buddies. Shankar later tricks Kumaraswamy into thinking that Gowri is inauspicious for him and that if he marries her he would be destroyed. He plans elaborate tricks by burning or hurting someone wherever Gowri is involved. After Kumaraswamy leaves Shankar marries Gowri, but Kumaraswamy comes and beats up Shankar and kidnaps Gowri but Shankar miraculously wakes up and beats up everyone and takes Gowri back.
