Plot
The film begins with two petty thieves, Raja & Rani, colleagues at a thieves' college headed by Principal Krishna Paramatma. Initially, they clash, which flourishes into love. Besides, Gayatri Devi, owner of the Ratnagiri estate, has two sons, Pedababu Pradeep & Chinababu Dileep Raja's doppelganger. Pradeep died in a car accident in which his wife, Sumitra, turned insane, and the couple had three infants. Indeed, it is a cold-blooded slaughter by three heinous siblings of Gayatri Devi Satyam, Sivam, & Sundaram—the trio plot to usurp the totality with secretly hidden precious heritage diamond Suryakanthi. Dileep is abroad, and the trio waits for the shot to slay him.
Raja also conducts perjury in the judiciary when the heels are startled to view him in a case. They supersede him as Dileep with a concoction, lure a high amount, and he accesses. Parallelly, Sundaram covertly cut a deal with Krishna Paramatma to heist the diamond. He delegated the task to Rani, who intrudes as a tutor, Seeta Devi. Raja & Rani pretend to be unbeknownst, and she molds into a straight arrow by Gayatri Devi's affection & kids' love. After a while, the trio wiles by assassinating Dileep, incriminating Raja and apprehending him. Whereat, he pledges to destroy the three, and Gayatri Devi collapses. Here, as a flabbergast, Dileep is home alive when the trio's bell rung, rushes, spots Raja in prison, and declares them as two.
Meanwhile, Dileep turns a tough nut to the heels by hindering their barbarities and overthrowing their authorities. Raja absconds and mocks them in several steps, fearing death. Once Rani detects a single, Raja shams the double game when he divulges the trio's dark conspiracy. He broke the bars with Inspector Rama Rao, the family's well-wisher. Thus, Raja & Rani unite to grip the trio. Following this, Krishna Paramatma calls Rani to learn the status quo when the trio gives ear. Hence, Rani falsifies a fairy story as Gadwal 's heir, making the three entice her. Discerning it, Raja turns it into a play by disguising Krishna Paramatma as Gadwal's Emperor, but his true objective is to snatch the diamond.
Next, Rani seduces the trio and creates a rift among them. In that rage, they seek out their crimes, which Raja records, but unfortunately, they sense it. Now, Gayatri Devi forwards Dileep & Seeta's bridal connection. Ergo, Krishna Paramatma ruses with a fake tradition of exchanging precious diamonds during the engagement. Accordingly, Gayatri Devi gets ready to bestow the Suryakanthi. On the eve, Gayatri Devi gets out the diamond when the trio intrigues by abducting Sumitra & babies. In turn, they covet the diamond & cassette containing their secrets. Raja tactically ceases them by shielding his men, and Sumitra becomes normal after that mishap. At last, Gayatri Devi ascertains the facts and accepts Raja as her son. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Raja & Rani.
