Once Veerendra steals a piece of evidence from Gannayya, (also a corrupt person), which has all the details of the activities of Suryam and Chandram. He hands it over to inspector Vijaya. She is very much impressed with his deed and now develops a soft corner for him. After a couple of songs, Veerendra decides to marry Vijaya, while Madhavi sacrifices her silent love for her friend.
