Plot
editThe film begins as Shivani, a shape-shifting serpent, enters Earth to take revenge on the people who killed her husband, and to find Nagamani. She learns from Nagamatha that her husband Adishesha had been reborn on Earth, and will help to find Nagamani. Shivani finds out that Adishesha is between Trishool and Trivikram, who were in the same house where Trishool is the son of Nandisha (servant) and Trivikram is the son of Digvijay (Owner). Both of them were born at the same date and time, and Digvijay and his gang, including Nandisha, were the culprits who killed Adishesha and stole Nagamani.
Later Nandisha's mother Mahamaayi reveals that Trishool is actually Digvijay's son, and Trivikram is Nandisha's son. She exchanged the babies at birth because she wanted revenge on Digvijay, who stole Nagamani from Naagalok with the help of Tryambaka, before she could get her hands on Nagamani.
Trivikram and Trishool have the same snake mole. Trivikram is Adhisesha according to Shivani and Tryambaka. Trivikram remembers nothing about Adhisesha. Trishool and Trivikram fall in love with Shivani. Shivani recognizes the snake print in Trivikram and decides to marry him and rejects Trishool. Digvijay and his family find out that Trishool is his real son. It is discovered that Trishool is Adhishesha. But Trishool has no memories or powers. Digvijay learns about Adishesha's reincarnation and is thinking to kill him with the help of his son, not knowing his son is actually Adhishesha.
Trivikram starts to hate Trishool as he thinks Trishool snatched his happiness because he is Digvijay's real son and Trivikram is the son of a driver. Trivikram also learns that Trishool is in love with Shivani. One night, he dreams of Trishool marrying Shivani and seeks help from his grandmother. Under her assistance seeks help from another shape shifting serpent mayangani who lives in Mayadweep away from Naaglok after she lost her love, to kill Trishool. Mayangani tries to kill Trishool, but her powers don't work on him. She understands that he is Adhishesha with whom she was in love years back, but he rejected her because he loved Shivani. Mayangani is happy as she learns about Adhishesha's rebirth and plans to pursue him and become the naagrani of Naaglok. On the day of the Trivikram-Shivani marriage, Trishool forcefully marries her because Lord Shiva's power tells him that only he has the right to marry her as their love is for all births. Shivani, not knowing that Trishool is Adhishesha, starts to hate him as she thinks Trivikram is Adhishesha and he is the reason for her separation from Adishesha and Naaglok. Mayangani, along with Trivikram, make plans to separate Shivani and Trishool. Myangani's also calls Tryambaka to kill Shivani. Later Shivani kills Mayangani with the help of Thrikkala Muni and her own powers. Shivani uses her power and finds out that Adhisesha is none other than Trishool. Mayangani curses Shivani that Adhisesha would never love her. As per the time runs, Shivani faces the Challenge to make Trishool understand her love for him. Mahamaye is born again to instruct Trivikram. Trivikram learns about Trishool and Shivani relationship. Trivikram decides to teach Sivani a lesson. Trishul learns that Trivikram is torturing her and the fight begins between Trishul and Trivikram where Trivikram pushes Trishul to Pathala Darbha. A man complains that he had seen Trivikram and Trishul fight. Digvijay questions Trivikram. Trivikram talks rudely to Digvijay and the mole scares Digvijay and he learns that Trivikram was the person who had attacked him last time. Family members request Digvijay to take Trivikram back home. Later, Trivikram reveals Digvijay and his friends secret to Naandisha and his powers and how he obtained it. Later Nandisha tells his mother that Trivikram has no legal right to have powers but Trishul has. He answers that Trishul is her original grandson not Trivikram. Trivikram learns that Trishul is Adishesha for whom Shivani came to Earth and Adishesha can be killed only with the nagamani. Trivikram finds that nagmani is in Digvijay's hand and asks Digvijay for it after which a fight takes place and the nagmani from Digvijay's hand falls into Pathala Darbha where Trishul is present. Due to nagmani's power Trishul reaches Earth. Eventually Shivani is killed by Takshaka (Trayambaka's twin brother). Shailu, with the same figure of Shivaniö appears.
