PlotEdit
The film begins as Shivani, a shape-shifting serpent, enters Earth to take revenge on the people who killed her husband, and to find Nagamani. She learns from Nagamatha that her husband Adishesha had been reborn on Earth, and will help to find Nagamani. Shivani finds out that Adishesha is between Trishool and Trivikram, who were in the same house where Trishool is the son of Nandisha (Servant) and Trivikram is the son of Digvijay (Owner). Both of them were born at the same date and time, and Digvijay and his gang, including Nandisha, were the culprits who killed Adishesha and stole Nagamani.
Later Nandisha's mother Mahamaayi reveals that Trishool is actually Digvijay's son, and Trivikram is Nandisha's son. She exchanged the babies at birth because she wanted revenge on Digvijay, who stole Nagamani from Naagalok with the help of Tryambaka, before she could get her hands on Nagamani.
Trivikram and Trishool have the same snake mole. Trivikram is Adhisesha according to Shivani and Tryambaka. Trivikram remembers nothing about Adhisesha. Trishool and Trivikram fall in love with Shivani. Shivani recognizes the snake print in Trivikram and decides to marry him and rejects Trishool. Digvijay and his family find out that Trishool is his real son. It is discovered that Trishool is Adhishesha. But Trishool has no memories or powers. Digvijay learns about Adishesha's reincarnation and is thinking to kill him with the help of his son, not knowing his son is actually Adhishesha.
Trivikram starts to hate Trishool as he thinks Trishool snatched his happiness because he is Digvijay's real son and Trivikram is the son of a driver. Trivikram also comes to know know that Trishool is in love with Shivani. One night, he dreams of Trishool marrying Shivani and seeks help from his grandmother. Under her assistance seeks help from another shape shifting serpent mayangani who lives in Mayadweep away from Naaglok after she lost her love, to kill Trishool. Mayangani tries to kill Trishool, but her powers don't work on him. She understands that he is Adhishesha with whom she was in love years back, but he rejected her because he loved Shivani. Mayangani is happy as she comes to know about Adhishesha's rebirth and plans to pursue him and become the naagrani of Naaglok. On the day of the Trivikram-Shivani marriage, Trishool forcefully marries her because Lord Shiva's power tells him that only he has the right to marry her as their love is for all births. Shivani, not knowing that Trishool is Adhishesha, starts to hate him as she thinks Trivikram is Adhishesha and he is the reason for her separation from Adishesha and Naaglok. Mayangani, along with Trivikram, make plans to separate Shivani and Trishool. Myangani's also calls Tryambaka to kill Shivani.
