Moreover, he has immense affection for his daughter Raksha. Venu the bestie of Rajeev works in his company along with his wife Madhu whom he facilitates all comforts. Rajeev is an atheist, but his wife and mother have immense belief in God and black magic (Chethabadalu). On a regular day of his work at the construction site, his manager Shyam finds an ancient Ganesh idol. He also advises Rajeev to construct a temple therein otherwise it would be a bad omen for them. However, Rajeev takes heads deaf to his words. One day Rajeev is aware of Venu & Madhu as swindlers by his friend Vinay. Then he is rude to and expels them from his company.

After that, suddenly on an uneventful day, strange things happen in his house and Raksha starts behaving unusually. His mother and wife plead to him to overlook this unforeseen circumstance but he will not listen to them. But sadly, her health levels start deteriorating. So, he consults a psychiatrist Dr. Rangarajan who is tongue-tied and unable to explain the changes that are happening to Raksha. In that fatal condition, Rajeev starts believing in God and owes to construct the temple on his site. Vinay takes him to a black magician Baba and finds out that it is black magic done by Venu & Madhu and with the support of Rajeev’s car driver Mani. Parallelly, a specialist Dr. Seema detects it as an obsession that erupted due to the silliness of Rajeevi's mother. At last, Rajeev finds out the whereabouts of Venu & Madhu and destroys the black magic. Simultaneously, Seema makes Raksha normal with hypnotism. Finally, the movie ends with a dichotomy on the exitance of God, science, and meth.
