Neelakanta's relative Chinnabbai suspects that Errababu's friends are involved in this, and when interrogated brutally, they reveal that two more people, Sarma from Kakinada, and Krishna from Hyderabad also may have helped the couple elope.

By mistaken reference of initials in the names, P. Yagnanarayana Sarma was kidnapped from Kakinada while the original man was left untouched.

While all others almost approach the train the next morning, Krishna stops when he sees Meenakshi at an Anjaneya statue and falls in love with her, though she is unaware of his presence.

Meanwhile, Meenakshi tries to speak with them with an intention to find out details about Subbalakshmi, and neither Krishna nor his friends can see her face because of the penthouse's style of construction.

The added advantage to Krishna is a set of love letters received by Subbalakshmi from Errababu, which are presently in his custody, and Meenakshi is hell bent recovering them back.

Meanwhile, Krishna's friend Srinu is caught red-handed who, after execution of brutal force by Neelakanta's men, reveals that the couple is in Vishakhapatnam.

There, Krishna manages to send the couple Guntur without the knowledge of Neelakanta's henchmen and later at the penthouse, he reveals he is the mastermind behind the act of Subbalakshmi eloping with Errababu, which is heard by Meenakshi, who hid there and escaped through the back door.

At the railway station, everyone parts ways with Neelakanta apologizing to Krishna and his friends, and invites them to Meenakshi's marriage.

Seeing his son leading a lazy, dull and unexcited life against the way he lived makes Krishna's mother Yashoda send him away to bring Meenakshi as his wife.

Realizing that Meenakshi's happiness lies in Krishna's company, he lets the lovers unite that night after halting the ongoing ceremony and also plans to bring Subbalakshmi and Errababu back to the village, thus accepting them too.
