Plot
The film begins with a swashbuckling thief, Surendra, who is also a master of disguise. He always targets Vidhatha, the city's dictator, and SP Indrani, a spiteful Police officer, tracks him down. Surendra contracts a multi-specialty hospital for work free of cost with all this money. Dr. Rekha, the younger sister of Indrani, is inspired by Surendra's good heart and starts loving him. After several other successful attempts, Surendra is caught by Rekha one day, and when she questions him, he reveals his past. His father, an honest person, had collected donations from the town's people to construct the hospital with his partner Vidhatha.
Vidhatha had double-crossed him and stolen the entire account, placing the blame on his father, which led to his suicide. That is why Surendra is taking revenge against Vidhatha. In another attempt, Surendra is trapped and arrested by Indrani; she tells him that he had been doing this for his welfare only because she had a personal fight with Vidhatha, whose actual name is Vijay, who was her ex-lover, who had killed her parents and escaped from imprisonment. Now Surendra and Indrani join. Whether they can take revenge against Vidhatha and whether Surendra can complete the hospital forms the rest of the story.
