Plot

Gautham Ghattamaneni (Gopichand) is the only son of Ghattamaneni Vishnu Prasad (Sachin Khedekar), the 50th richest billionaire in the world. He does not have any emotions and leads a luxurious life in Bangalore, Karnataka. Mugdha (Catherine Tresa) daughter of Vishnu Prasad's business partner Mudra (Mukesh Rishi), she is deeply in love with Gautham.

In a party, a waiter (Tanikella Bharani) spills food on his jeans, which makes Gautham angry and he slaps the waiter and insults him calling him a low life to which the waiter replies that he is a spoiled brat and asks if he really knows himself. That question intrigues Gautham leading him to realize that he does not have any individual identity without his father. In an attempt to end his life he crashes his car into another person, who turns out to be Nanda Kishore (portrayed by Gopichand again).

Both of them reveal their stories to each other. Nanda is from lower-middle-class family living in a slum in Hyderabad with his parents (Chandra Mohan & Seetha) and sister along with Spoorthi (Hansika Motwani) who is in love with him. Nanda's aspirations to develop an app fails, due to which his father sends him off to Bangalore to get a job. But he chooses to end his life (where he meets Gautham Ghattamaneni) which would enable his family to claim insurance. Now Gautham is also fed-up with opulent lifestyle and wants to feel the emotions of living in poverty. So, both of them decide to exchange their lives for a month which would expose them to experience the lifestyle they have been craving for, after which Gautham Ghattamaneni would be introduced to the world as the sole heir of his father's wealth. They spend a night in a hotel learning about each other and fitting into each other’s shoes to begin their new lives.

Whereas, Nanda has the perfect beginning, with the exception of few questions from his staff.

Gautham starts to fall for Spoorthi and Nanda for Mugdha. Meanwhile, Mudra and Gautham's Chief of Security Gowda (Nikitin Dheer) plan to kill Gautham.
