Plot

Sandhya, a medical student, falls deeply in love at first sight with Surya, a youngster with political aspirations. Surya does small-time ‘settlements’ as he awaits a chance to contest at the local elections. Sandhya understands that the path ahead of her is not easy when she sees Surya roughing up people every now and then. Her mother suggests Surya to leave politics for her daughter, but Surya does not agree and follows his path because of his father's wish to see his son as an MLA. One of the settlements later becomes a serious issue, leading to an FIR being filed on Surya for S.C., S.T. atrocities, and he is arrested on those charges. After knowing Surya's arrest, Sandhya decides to wait for him but her mother convinces her to shift from Vijaya Nagaram to Vizag on hopes to forget Surya.
