Plot
[edit]Sasi Rekha (Maheswari) is the daughter of a rich father (Jayaprakash Reddy), who is a strict disciplinarian and dislikes any kind of romantic love. Ravi (Ravi Teja), an orphan, falls in love with Sasi and she also slowly develops feelings for Ravi. One day Ravi meets Sasi's father in the outskirts of the city and tells him all about his love. However, he is accidentally killed by Ravi in a scuffle. Sasi soon finds out that the culprit is Ravi. Infuriated, she breaks up with him. Ravi, unable to bear the separation, jumps from a hilltop. He survives, only to be told by the doctors that he is disabled and might heal if someone took care of him. In the climax, Sasi decides to stay with Ravi, who is nothing but a vegetable now, stating that what ever he did was just because of his love for her and she still is in love with him.
