Harichandra Prasad and Vishnu Murthy are two wealthy and powerful rivals in a village. Harichandra Prasad's daughter Supriya and Vishnu Murthy's son Kalyan study in the same residential college, where they both engage in few quarrels and bets. Kalyan and his gang attempt to enter a girls' hostel and succeeds at last, and he wins a bet with Supriya. Slowly their love blossoms under these petty things and they return to their village, where they are separated at the railway station by their parents. Their vacation ends and Kalyan reaches the railway station to get back to his college, but Supriya does not turn up. Kalyan learns that her marriage is fixed, and gets off the train to reach Supriya's house. But he is thrashed by Harichandra Prasad and his men. Meanwhile, Supriya's wedding is postponed due to her grandmother's death. Using this to their advantage, Kalyan and Supriya elope. Her brother and his men become involved in a fight with Kalyan. In the end, Vishnu Murthy saves Harichandra Prasad from being drowned, and everyone realises their mistake. They reunite the lovers and get them married.
