Plot

The film begins with Raja, the son of tycoon Raghava Rao, a nature lover who spends his time at a hill station. Once, his father forwards a bridal connection with his mate Raja Rao's daughter Kavitha. Then, Raja decides they should be in accord with a pure soul. So, he communicates a letter to her without seeing her photograph, which she cannot reply to because she is a current girl. Aasa, the younger of Kavitha, whose sensibilities are closest to Raja's, writes the letters on her sister's behalf, and both are close in. Once, she walks to meet him when their acquaintance initiates squabble. Later, the two genuinely fall for each other, discerning the fact. They visit a glorious temple in that area where the lovers have deep faith that their endearment blossoms eternally, and Aasa takes it as divine grace. Parallelly, Raja flashes Kavitha, who is fascinated with him, and accepts their espouse, which pains Aasa. Just before their engagement, Raja's bestie, Dr. Kailash, diagnoses him as a terminally ill cancer victim. Hearing it, Kavitha dismisses, but Aasa rushes to him, reveals her true identity, and carries him to the temple. Whereat, Aasa forces Raja to tie a knot to her, affirming to shield him with her idolization. Despite everyone's refusal, she does it by intimidating Raja. A new dawn's hope arises when Raja aspires to live. Hence, Kailash admits him to the specialty hospital, where he mingles with associates. Anyhow, his health deteriorates day by day. Here, Raja insists that Aasa wedlock Kailash after his death, which she turns down, swearing to die with him. Now, he stands on the verge when the Doctors seek to get hold of a renowned specialist, Dr. Sai Prasad. Aasa declines it, stating she will secure her husband and land at Godesses temple with Raja and implores before her. Fortuitously, Sai Prasad arrives up therein. At last, he guards Raja via surgery. Finally, the movie ends happily with the turtle doves, signifying that love is beyond fate.
