Mass, an orphan, bonds well with his landlord's son Adi. He is in love with his colleague Anjali, who happens to be the daughter of Vizag city's gangster Satya. This restricts her from falling for him, as it would land him in danger, but she finally gives in after some time. Anjali suggests Mass to tie the knot immediately before her brother Seshu and Satya try separating them. Seshu and Satya kill Adi when he tries to stop them for separating the lead pair before their marriage. Mass later moves into Vizag and stays in an apartment hiding his identity to take revenge on the brothers. Finally, Mass' quest for revenge is completed as he finally eliminates them.
