Santhosh leaves the train to catch the thief who stole Radha's bracelet, but Radha misunderstands that Santhosh has reached his destination where she gives his bag and belongings and bid goodbye. Santhosh tries unsuccessfully to find her where he goes to HuliVeerayya's house where the family misunderstands Santhosh to be Radha's lover lets him stay at their house. One day, Radha arrives back and the family fixes her marriage with Santhosh. In the village festival, Narasimha is a gangster who insults HuliVeerayya and tries to trouble Radha, but is saved by Santhosh.

Some comical events occur in home when Prashanth and his family arrive. Radha, who learns about Santhosh's identity falls in love with him. One night, Some thieves barge into HuliVeerayya's house and steals necklaces from the house and Santosh becomes the suspect where he is thrown out of the house. Narasimha starts to trouble Huli again at Radha's marriage. He shows the captured Santosh to instill fear in them. However, HuliVeerayya doesn't budge and insults Santhosh calling him a thief, but Santhosh's grandmother intervenes and reveals that he was stealing money to run an orphanage and old-age home for the poor, needy and depressed people. Santosh awakens and fights Narasimha where he gets him arrested. HuliVeerayya apologize to Santhosh where he unites Santhosh with Radha, leaving Prashanth devastated.
