Vijayaram (N. T. Rama Rao) is a captain of a ship who has a habit of making challenges and succeeding in them. Once on a journey from Singapore to India, he meets a beautiful girl, Aruna (Jaya Prada), daughter of Justice Rajashekaram (Gummadi) while Raju (Nutan Prasad) friend of Vijay challenges him to make her fall in his love and over time they like each other. After reaching India, one day, Vijay takes Aruna and her younger brother Madhu / Bunty (Master Purushotham) to the picnic where Bunty is mislaid. The next day a video film was found in front of their house, in which an unknown person threatened Rajashekaram kidnapping Bunty to acquit his gangster who is presently prosecuting in the court, but Rajashekaram refuses to do so. Meanwhile, Vijay gets a clue by spotting a painting in the video film and finds out that Bunty is located at Cochin and decides to go there. At the same time, Vijay's guardian Gopalam (Mikkilineni) reveals the past that his entire family has been slaughtered by a hardcore criminal James (Satyanarayana), and the tragic incident happened at the same place in Cochin itself. Now Vijay takes up both the tasks as the challenge, lands at Cochin along with Raju & Aruna, and learns that James himself is a kidnapper who changed his name into Raghuram. At last, Vijay safeguards Bunty and takes his revenge against James. Finally, the movie ends with the marriage of Vijayram & Aruna.
