Rajeev is an atheist, but his wife and mother have immense belief in God and black magic (Chethabadalu). On a regular work day at the construction site, his manager Shyam finds an ancient Ganesh idol. He also advises Rajeev to construct a temple therein; otherwise, it would be a bad omen for them. However, Rajeev takes heads deaf to his words. One day, Rajeev becomes aware of Venu and Madhu as swindlers, his friend Vinay. Then he is rude to them and expels them from his company.
