Plot[edit]
The film begins with a bourgeoisie, Prasad, who lives with his mother & sister and suffers from a modest income. He works at a colony called Gandhinagar 2nd Street, where diverse communities of various mindsets stay together—the vainglory secretly Bharati with her Contractor husband Ramchadraiah and debauchery son Raghu—a vulgar poet, Srikalam, his shrew wife Sarpakam, and their daughter. Above all, a school teacher, Sarada, is a benevolent whose spouse, Ravi, is currently in Dubai. Once, Prabhu, Prasad's childhood buddy, arrives searching for a job. He takes several steps to discard Prabhu but tightly hinges on him.
Meanwhile, a spate of robberies occurs in the colony, which is indeed done by Bharati & Srikalam's spoiled brat progeny, which lusts. Now, the committee has declared that it will post a Gorkha for security. So, Prasad forges Prabhu as Ram Singh, a Nepali émigré, to win him a job and fulfill the residents' needs. Ram Singh becomes close by ministering to everyone. Especially to Sarada because he aims to set foot in Dubai. After experiencing her affection, he takes care of Sarada as a sibling. The thefts continue constantly in the colony, and the members give Ram Singh the last chance. Since there is no choice, Prasad disguises himself as the housebreaker to secure Prabhu. Due to hard luck, they catch him and batters, so he quits the town. Before leaving, he divulges the actuality to Sarada, but she quiets down and assures Prabhu that she will support him.
As of now, the Police officer has moved into the colony, and Prabhu is startled to view his daughter Geeta as she is his past love. Ergo, Prabhu brings back his memories. A few years before, the two were neighbors. Geeta discerns Prabhu's callow & kind heart, and she often secures him in trouble. Whereat, they fall in love, which deplorably breaks up. Presently, Prabhu attempts to apologize to Geeta but receives her loath. Hereupon, Raghu misbehaves with her when Prabhu / Ram Singh strikes him. Then, the Ramchadraiah couple gets enraged and backstabs him, whom Sarada safeguards. Thus, the colony turns against Ram Singh and attributes an affair to him with Sarada. Parallelly, Sarada is conscious of Prabhu's relationship with Geeta and walks to communicate, but she bans it.
Simultaneously, Ravi returns when the colony members probe to disturb his mind by tainting on Sarada. However, he states he has complete knowledge of the totality via Sarada, who fully trusts his wife. Now, Ravi moves forward with a bridal connection to Geeta's father. Startlingly, he announces his daughter as a widow, which collapses Prabhu. Therein, Ravi seeks Prabhu, the cause of Geeta's detestation, when he reveals the happening. Prabhu tried to consummate with her for their nuptial approval on the misguidance of his black mates, and he is dying out of remorse for it till today. At last, Ravi, through play, makes Geeta comprehend the virtue of Prabhu. Finally, the movie ends comically with the marriage of Prabhu & Geeta.
