Politician Siva Reddy stages his own assassination to gain sympathy votes, hiring hitman Nandu for the job. The plan backfires when another shooter actually kills Reddy. Fleeing the police, Nandu boards a train where he meets Pardhu, a man returning home after 20 years. Tragically, police accidentally shoot and kill Pardhu.
Nandu escapes to Pardhu's hometown, Basarlapudi, where the unsuspecting family mistakes him for Pardhu. He bonds with them, and Pardhu’s cousin Poori falls in love with him. Nandu secretly helps the family resolve various issues.
Meanwhile, CBI officer Prasad investigates and uncovers Nandu's true identity, revealing the truth to the devastated family. Pardhu's grandfather privately accepts Nandu, handing him a shotgun with an obstructed barrel to clear his name. Nandu confronts the conspirators, discovering his partner Malli is alive and orchestrated the betrayal. In a final showdown, Malli tries to shoot Nandu with the obstructed shotgun, which backfires and kills him. Cleared of charges, Nandu returns to his newfound family.
