So, ired Raaji seeks vengeance. Meanwhile, Hema’s musical night is conducted on eve of nuptial when Sai Krishna is on cloud nine and falls for her. Moreover, he learns that Hema and Raaji are siblings. Soon after the return, Sai Krishna writes a letter to Hema. Fortuitously, it is picked up by Raaji, at this time, she starts her horseplay. Now she poses as Hema by writing letters and making telephonic conversations. After some time, Raaji travels to Hyderabad officially. Therein, Sai Krishna cares for her meticulously in favour of Hema. Perceiving it, Raaji inadvertently starts loving him.
After homecoming Raaji makes various attempts to reveal reality but she is hesitant. Simultaneously, Sai Krishna’s dearness to Hema escalates. He bestows a locket containing his and Hema's photos which Raaji starts wearing and feels for herself. Concurrently, Sai Krishna organises Hema’s program in his town. At the concert, Hema aspires to wear the locket as unbeknownst, and Raaji unwilling hands over. But Raaji is distraught at what would happen when Sai Krishna and Hema come across each other. Hence, she divulges the fact to Sai Krishna through a letter. However, before it arrives, he moves on. Immediately after the concert, Sai Krishna tries to speak to Hema. Anyhow, she opines him mischief-maker and mortifies him. Thus, enraged Sai Krishna slaps Hema and shows the locket as evidence of their love.
At the sight of it, Hema turbulently reaches home and assaults Raaji. Besides, Sai Krishna is inflamed and distressed. During that predicament, the elders think it worthy to have a word facing each other and they decide to knit Sai Krishna & Hema. Sai Krishna accepts it provided Raaji should apologise to him. So, he proceeds to their house where he converses with Hema and Raaji. Herein, he proclaims that he does not have the heart to espouse Hema because it is Raaji who reciprocated his feeling. Plus, he is cognizant of Raaji’s true love with her last forgiveness letter. At last, Sai Krishna heartfully proposes to Raaji and she blissfully agrees. The movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Sai Krishna and Raaji.
