Siva doesn't like his brother-in-law and never talks to him, despite several attempts made by his sister to convince both. Siva meets Priya during a bus journey and falls for her. He again meets her on a few more occasions and proposes to her, but she warns him to stop following her despite being in love with him. Siva learns that Priya's brother Bhaskar is a local gangster, who attacks when anyone follows Priya. Priya does not want Siva to get beaten by Bhaskar and advises him to stop following her, but Siva is not scared of this.  


Priya does not want Siva to get beaten by her brother and advises him to stop following her. But Siva is not scared of this, and one day, Bhaskar's hit men spot Siva and Priya together. They try to attack Siva, but instead, Siva beats them up, which gives them the courage to Priya to love him as he is capable of fighting her brother.
One day, Bhaskar's henchmen spot Siva and Priya together and try to attack him, but Siva thrashes them, ultimately giving courage for Priya to go against Bhaskar. Siva's brother-in-law learns about Siva's love and offers help which makes them talk to each other, much to the happiness of Siva's sister. Bhaskar arrives to attack Siva's family, but Siva threatens to attack Bhaskar's family, thereby frightening him. Priya decides to elope with Siva.  


Siva's brother-in-law gets to know about the love story and offers help which makes them both talk. Siva's sister feels happy that her husband and brother are in good terms now with each other. One day, Bhaskar comes to attack Siva's sister's family, but in the meantime, Siva threatens to attack Bhaskar's family, thereby frightening him.
Bhaskar chases after them along with his men where the couple are tracked down, and the goons start attacking Siva. Priya interferes and challenges Bhaskar to attack Siva single-handedly without any help of his men. Bhaskar accepts and starts attacking Siva, but Siva retaliates and hits back Bhaskar, who gets severely injured. He takes a sword, but rather than killing him. Siva spares Bhaskar, who accepts his defeat and lets Siva and Priya unite with each other.
