Plot
Ajay Varma is a Bengaluru-based Kabbadi player, the son of Kumaraswamy who is the DCP of Bengaluru, visits Hubli to take part in a state-level tournament. There, he saves Padma(Paddu) from Vijay Reddy, a dangerous faction leader, who is in love with Paddu and wants to marry her against her wishes. Ajay learns that Paddu is trying to leave for the United States for pursuing higher education after Vijay killed her brothers, when they refuse to marry their sister to Vijay Reddy. In the process of saving Paddu, Ajay humiliates Vijay by pushing him into a mud pond. Vijay refuses to cleanse the mud until Paddu is found and brought back. Ajay helps Paddu escape and takes her to his house in the Old City of Hyderabad, hiding her in his room with the help of his sister, Asha.
Soon, his parents find out she is hiding in their house. Paddu and Ajay run away again and eventually she falls in love with him. The next day, the police, led by Ajay's father DCP Kumaraswamy, surround the Charminar where Paddu is hidden by Ajay. The duo, along with Ajay's friends, reaches the airport to go to the United States. They bring her parents to see her one last time before she leaves. After Paddu passed airport security, Ajay realises he loves Paddu. She shows up and hugs him while proposing to him.
At the airport, Kumaraswamy arrests Ajay while Vijay's men take Paddu away. After Paddu taunts him by saying that Ajay will definitely come for her, Vijay goes to the jail and asks Ajay to come with him. Here, Kumaraswamy expresses that he's not worried about Ajay; rather, he's worried for Vijay. Vijay and his henchmen are kidnapped by Ajay, who, along with his friends, attend the finals of the national-level Kabaddi tournament.
Meanwhile, Vijay's brother Siva Reddy, who happens to be the home minister of the state, is waiting at the venue of Vijay's marriage with Paddu. After coming to know about his whereabouts, Siva reaches the stadium along with Paddu and his mother where Ajay and Vijay are fighting with each other. Swapna's father stabs Vijay while his mother dies in a bomb blast. Siva decides not to react as it would harm his position as a minister and Ajay, whose team won the match, celebrates the victory with Paddu and his family. Ajay and Paddu are married together.
