Plot
In her childhood, Madhu befriends a boy in a village. Her uncle comes and insults the boy for being a tribal. Madhu then tells him to get an education so people will respect him more. 10 years later, the boy Ramu (Prabhas) returns to college, where he meets its most wanted woman Madhu (Aarti Agarwal), who falls in love with him. Later, she reveals in her birthday party that she was the childhood girl who told him to be an educated person. However, Madhu's mother Tribhuvna (Telangana Shakuntala) insults him and throws him out of her party and house.
