Synopsis
The film is about Ravi Chandra (Venkatesh), the film's hero and Sagara Kanya (Shilpa Shetty), a mermaid. Malashree plays Ganga, Ravi's cousin who loves him. They stay with some comedians in a house near the seashore. Kaikala Satyanarayana, the villain of the film, tries to acquire a ship which sank with a lot of treasure on board.
He associates himself with a witch who helps him in finding the treasure. After a few attempts, the witch finds out that the treasure can be recovered with the help of a mermaid.
Accidentally one day Sagara comes on to land from the water and loses her mermaid body. She turns out to be a beautiful woman. Whenever water is spilled over her, however, she turns back into a mermaid.
On land, she becomes involved with the hero, Venkatesh. She is named as Bangaram. Bangaram starts loving Ravi. The witch comes to know about Sagara and informs Kaikala that only a mermaid can find the treasure.
