Due to his passion for farming and agriculture, Vishwanathan sacrifices his job in an MNC and settles in his village. One day, Viswanathan gets a call from Hyderabad that his sister Revathi, who is studying medicine at a medical college has been missing for the past couple of days. Vishwanathan sets out to Hyderabad on the same day in a tourist bus. The bus, which is on a trip to Tirupati, is packed with a set of religious Tamil-speaking Hindu pilgrims. Gowri, who is among the pilgrims, grabs his attention for her singing abilities. Upon reaching Hyderabad, Vishwanathan reaches the college, and from her friends learns that Revathi had received threats from Sudhakar Reddy, son of a syndicate gangster named Reddy. Revathi, who had witnessed a murder committed by Sudhakar, had planned to appear at an identification parade at the police station. Enraged, Sudhakar tries to assault her, where Revathi, in an effort to save herself, falls down from the top of a building and dies. Vishwanathan visits the nearby police station to file a complaint, but gets a cold response from the local Inspector, who threatens to arrest Vishwanathan, if he decides to move ahead with the complaint. Vishwanathan gets enraged, where he gets into a scuffle with Sudhakar, and kills him, which causes Reddy to hunt for Vishwanathan, who is saved by Reddy's rival Patel. Vishwanathan is made to stay at a brothel run by Patel, where he meets a good-hearted chap named Appu. At the brothel, Vishwanathan is shocked to see Gowri, where he learns from Appu that she was trapped and kidnapped at Tirupathi and has been sold to Patel by a lady pimp.
