Bhaskar Rao, known as Chanti Ravi Teja, is the carefree son of head constable Venkata Sami. One dark night, a rival gang targets him and beats him badly, but a brave young woman named Suchitra Rakshita steps in, pays his hospital bills, and donates her blood to save him. She disappears before he regains consciousness, leaving his friends to fill in the blanks about the mysterious savior. Chanti’s first real spark of admiration isn’t just for the act of kindness—it’s for the person behind it, someone whose goodness makes him fall for her even though he has never seen her. It soon emerges that Suchitra is the daughter of the city’s police commissioner Vipra Narayana Prakash Raj.
