Plot

Rajesh (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) falls for Devi (Sridevi). Through a series of misunderstandings, they frequently quarrel. Devi rejects his proposal and humiliates him. She later changes her mind about him and they become a couple. Their respective families agree to this and arrange their marriage. A few days before the wedding, Devi's brother Dr. Chakravarthy (Mohan Babu) finds out that Rajesh is terminally ill with cancer. He attempts to stop the wedding. Rajesh and Devi plan to get married secretly. But before that can happen, Rajesh also learns of his illness from Dr. Venkateswarulu (Gummadi). He finds out that his close friend Prasad (Murali Mohan) also loves Devi. He decides to make her hate him by pretending to be indifferent to her. He associates with a prostitute Jayanthi (Jayasudha) to make Devi hate him. Devi tries to contact him but gets shocked by his behavior. Rajesh calls off the wedding and pretends that his marriage proposal was just a ploy to get revenge on Devi who had humiliated him many times. Devi gets angry and urges her brother to get her married to Prasad to humiliate the arrogant Rajesh. Jayanthi asks Rajesh to marry her as she wants to live as a wife, not a prostitute, even if for a short while. Rajesh marries her. Soon after her wedding, Devi learns the truth and rushes to meet Rajesh. Rajesh blesses the newly wedded couple and breathes his last, happily.
