Years roll by, the story spins to Dubai, where 4 Indian guys Raju, Sivaji, Kamal, Radha stays together in an apartment performing the various petty jobs. Eventually, Ramachandra Raju fixes an alliance to Madhavi to which she also gives her acceptance and starts to India. On the transit, at Dubai, Madhavi loses the passport when Raju rescues and gives her shelter. Chandram advises her to hold-up until he acquires the new one. During that time, Raju and Madhavi fall for each other. Knowing it, Chandram counsels Raju to arrive as his lost son Krishna, so that, they can easily get approval from Ramachandra Raju. At present, as a flabbergast, the real Krishna also returns. Right now, a confusion takes place but Ramachandra Raju recognizes Raju as a forge and boots him. Here Raju maintains silence to keep up the honor of Chandram. Meanwhile, wedding arrangements Krishna and Madhavi are in progress when Chandram asks Raju and Madhavi to elope to which Raju refuses as he does not want to tarnish the prestige of Ramachandra Raju. At the point in time, both Ramachandra Raju and Krishna overhear the conversation and understand reality.
