Sivaji (Vadde Naveen) is an orphan and a child laborer, who saves Vamsi's (Srikanth) father from an accident despite his employer's wishes of not getting involved.

Sivaji is left behind after his angry employer leaves him and manages to save Prasad (Srikanth dad) by hailing help.

Meanwhile, Vamsi comes across Seetha (Malavika) a naive girl fresh from the village, when she attends an interview for a posting in his company, and falls for her instantly.

The same night Sivaji, who leaves the bar drunk due to a cyclone warning and heavy rainfall comes across Seetha who asks for a ride to the railway station.

Sivaji, who is remorseful and regrets his drunken actions vows to never touch alcohol, a decision that his family is extremely happy about.

She adds salt to coffee instead of sugar and denies taking money that Sivaji had given her on Vamsi's orders, making him seem like a thief, etc.

Despite it all, Vamsi treats Sivaji like a god and that makes Seetha super mad that none of her ploys were working.

Vamsi brings the newly married couple to his house so he and Seetha could keep an eye and guide them through any initial rough patches.

Seetha gives Ganga terrible advice that results in Sivaji being slapped and bitten till blood is drawn.

He begs her to not let him be the reason her marriage gets into trouble (Vamsi and Seetha argue and fight a lot over Sivaji) and that he would do anything to make her happy.

One day, the watchman of his gated community approaches Vamsi and informs him of having witnessed Sivaji visiting Seetha and then later leaving in tears.

He has made a mistake concerning her and he was remorseful and did everything in his power to do penance for it, even marrying a rape victim – in order to give her a happy martial life which would otherwise be denied to her.

(Back then and even now, some people tend to think that if a woman is raped then her life is done with- in regards to marriage and otherwise) Vamsi and his parents (indirectly) mention that Sivaji made an unintentional mistake under influence, for which he tried making amends, but Seetha has made plenty of mistakes, knowingly and she has even caused turmoil to another lady's (Ganga) marriage.

Satyanarayana has turned producer with Chala Bagundi and churned out a good emotional film with Srikanth and Naveen breathing life into their characters.
