Ramanna (Sunil) is a penniless orphan in Hyderabad who dreams of earning two lakhs so as to buy an auto-trolley that will help him earn a living. Soon, he finds out that he has inherited some land in his native rayalaseema and so he sets out to sell it. Unknown to him, Ramineedu (Nagineedu) and his sons are waiting for the inheritor of this land for the last 22 years so that they can avenge the death of their brother who was killed by Ramanna’s father. A series of coincidences, that includes meeting Ramineedu’s daughter Aparna (Sonali) in the train, ensure that Ramanna is invited as a guest into the Ram Reddy mansion. Ramineedu, despite his avenging nature, believes in the Athidhi Maryada concept and vows not to kill Ramanna until Ramanna steps out of the house again. So we have a situation where Sunil knows that leaving the house will get him killed and so he keeps coming up with different ideas to stay inside. How Ramanna handles this tricky situation over the next 48 hours while Aparna gets attracted to him is what the rest of the movie is all about.
