Plot
Bala Krishna is a villager who fights against his maternal uncle Ramadasu, an arrogant devotee of the Hindu god Rama who always says that Rama told him to do all his schemes. His daughter Rani is Balaiah's cousin who loves Balaiah so much and is willing to do anything for him. She beats up any young girl who even goes near Balaiah. This is when Balaiah meets Priya, a teenage girl who is Balaiah's other cousin from the city along with Tulasamma, Priya's caretaker. He falls in love with Priya as this outrages Rani and she begins to feel jealous. Rani and Priya challenge each other that if Priya can make Balaiah fall in love with him, Rani should apologize for her misbehavior and forget about Balaiah. If Priya fails, she should leave the village. Balaiah proposes to Priya which she accepts, although not really loving him. One day Priya takes the challenge too far when Balaiah is bitten by a poisonous snake because she asks him to get a ring from that snake on purpose. This is when she reveals that she really wasn't in love with him. This angers Balaiah who ties the mangalasutra considering them wife and husband. Though Balaiah doesn't love her anymore, he only tied it to show her not to mess with people's lives. This becomes a huge issue around the village. Balaiah's mother Annapurnamma tries to reunite the couple along with Rani, who on the inside is extremely disappointed for not marrying Balaiah. When Priya is attacked by a bunch of goons one day, Balaiah saves her and Priya falls in love with him. However, Balaiah still doesn't love her or consider her as his wife. Priya moves in Balaiah's home with Annapurnamma's acceptance. One day when a man tries to shoot Priya, he questions why a group of assassins are after her. Tulasamma then reveals Priya's dark past. Tulasamma is really a police officer who was a colleague and friend of Priya's brother-in-law DIG Benarjee. Benarjee killed Nana's brother and arrested Nana. Nana, who was a powerful terrorist, sought revenge by killing Benarjee and his family. Priya is the only one who survived, but Nana was in search of her while still in jail. In order for her to be safe, the police hid her in Nana's home town since people barely know it and that Nana will never figure out she's there. It is also revealed that Priya is not Balaiah's cousin, they used him so that no one knows about this. Balaiah then starts loving Priya and promises to protect her from Nana. Meanwhile, Nana finds out that Priya is in his home town and escapes from jail. Balaiah kills Nana and the film ends with Balaiah's first night with Priya and she arguing with Rani about who shall give him a glass of milk.
