The three goons manage to kidnap actress Shruthi (Manchu Lakshmi) and decide to hide her in an apartment owned by Vijju's boss Brahmi (Brahmanandam).

After a few small comedy scenes, the trio keeps traveling to the main villain (Kattam Raju), and a fight ensues.

In a post-credits scene, it is shown that Kattam Raju and Vijju managed to fake his room keys and floor level and installed remote CCTV so as to know his locker passcode and opened and stole it while Venkat was talking to Shruthi.

Vammsi Kreshna, a former assistant director of Gautham Vasudev Menon, had told Lakshmi Manchu the script of Dongaata shortly after joining her production studio as an executive producer.

The film, a con-drama, was shot on a tight budget, and actors Adivi Sesh, Brahmanandam and Pragathi were signed to play supporting roles.

The film won positive reviews, with Sify.com calling it a "decent movie with some nice thrills despite occasional double meaning dialogues."
