The story revolves around a young man, Sukumar, who is passionate about music and wants to make it big in the music industry. He is also keen on impressing his childhood crush, Shantha, who is a medical student. However, things take a turn when a wealthy businessman, Naidu, decides to sponsor Sukumar's music career. Sukumar soon realizes that there are strings attached to Naidu's sponsorship, and he has to compromise his artistic integrity to fulfill Naidu's commercial demands. Meanwhile, Shantha's father, a strict disciplinarian, disapproves of her relationship with Sukumar and tries to break them apart.
