Raj is a successful gambler living in Hyderabad with his supportive adoptive parents. However, tragedy strikes when his adoptive father is diagnosed with liver cirrhosis due to alcoholism. Desperate for money, Raj learns that he needs ₹20 lakh for his father’s liver transplant, which must happen within a month. While searching for a way to fund the surgery, Raj is approached by his rival, James, who offers him a betting challenge. James tasks Raj with making Chaitra, a medicine student and the daughter of the feared crime boss Bellary, fall in love with him before New Year’s Eve, promising the money for the operation in return. Taking on the challenge, Raj successfully wins over Chaitra, who reciprocates his feelings. However, when Bellary discovers their relationship, he sends henchmen to eliminate them on New Year’s Eve. Raj and Chaitra narrowly escape to Srisailam, but Bellary, aided by his corrupt minister friend Baireddanna and Baireddanna’s son, launches a manhunt for the couple.
In Srisailam, James comes to their rescue but is wounded by Baireddanna’s son, who then kidnaps Chaitra. As he lies injured, James reveals that he was sent by his father to protect them and shares the truth about Raj’s past. In flashbacks, we learn about Raj’s father, Suryanarayana, a respected landlord, and his best friend Raghupathy, Chaitra’s biological father. Raj and Chaitra were childhood friends.
