Plot[edit]

Ram and Raj are twin brothers, who are complete opposite of each other. Ram is a money-minded and cowardly millionaire while Raj is an intelligent, brave and selfless young man. Though Raj worships his brother, Ram considers the former as an outcast and uses him only when required. Meanwhile, Raj meets Rani, who falls in love with him. One day, Raj is falsely accused of murdering Sub-Inspector Mallayya, whom he had earlier thrashed and is jailed where he is planned to be murdered by a gangster. However, Raj manages to escape to meet his brother and prove his innocence only to find that the latter has been murdered in his farmhouse. After secretly cremating Ram, Raj returns to the city as Ram to prove his innocence and find his brother's killer. As he begins his investigation he is confronted by CBI officer Sethurama Iyer. Sethurama Iyer is tasked with finding Raj where he interrogates Ram (Raj). Sethuram Iyer reveals that he suspects some foul play. In order to clear his doubts he hires a Private Investigator to keep an eye on Raj and goes to an extent of brutally torturing Raj's friend Kumara and others to prove that the person, who masqueraded as Ram is Raj.

While trying to convince the officer, Raj starts to receive mysterious calls from Venkatappa, an anonymous employee of Ram who claims to know the real identity of Raj and threatens to expose his identity, if he continues his drama as Ram. After a cat-mouse game between Seetharam Iyer and Raj where Raj outsmarts him. Raj arrives at a factory with Ram's PA Sona where the mysteripus caller is revealed to be Nanda, who was working as Ram's office as a waiter. Sona reveals that she loved Ram more than the world, but Ram misunderstanded Sona and humiliated her. Due to this, Sona planned to seek vengeance on Ram and learned Raj's masquerade as Ram and blackmailes Raj into marrying her for money, but Nanda kills Sona and reveals that Ram is actually responsible for his family's death and had planned to kill him to seek over business and vengeance. So, he planned with Venkatappa to finish Ram with Sona's help, but Venkatappa disagrees and has him killed and created a fake Venkatappa to take over the business, but is spoiled due to Raj's interference.

Nanda tries to kill Raj, but Raj subdues him and reveals that he already suspected Sona as she told a fake story and was waiting for the caller to arrive. A fight ensues where Raj subdues the henchman and kills Nanda. The next day, Sethuram Iyer arrives at Ram's office to arrest him where Sethuram Iyer reveals that Ram is actually a business freak, who actually killed 6 businessman to rise in business and was the one who actually killed Sub-Inspector Mallayya, when he humiliated him and placed the blame on Raj. Raj, realizing that his brother is a killer takes the blame and is sentenced to 3 years in prison. Rani and Raj's mother arrive and learnt about Raj's masquerade and feel bad for Raj, taking blame for Ram's crimes.
