Praveen and Subadra love each other against their parents and decide to elope. They plan to meet at the bus station on a night but Praveen does not turn up due to unknown reasons while Subadra is caught by her parents who forcibly take her away

Sometime later, Subadra is married to Jagdeesh, and the couple lives in Prem Nagar colony in Hyderabad. Jagdeesh, who works as a manager in a car showroom, always strives to impress Subadra but she acts indifferent towards him. Praveen joins the same company where Jagdeesh works, and they quickly become close acquaintances of each other. Praveen also moves into the same neighbourhood with his wife Kanaka Durga, and their houses are located adjacent to one another. Soon, Praveen realizes that her former lover Subadra is Jagdeesh's wife. When Subadra is angry with Praveen for not meeting her that night, Praveen reveals that he was unconscious for ten days as he was beaten by his father. Subadra, who still is in love with Praveen, proposes to elope so that they can marry. Reluctant Praveen tries to persuade Subadra that Jagdeesh is a kind-hearted person but Subadra does not budge. One day, both of them leave for Goa by informing their spouses that they are going on a trip for different reasons. They check into a hotel but Subadra stars feeling guilty about her actions. There, they meet GV and Avanti, ex-classmates of Praveen who are now a couple. They share a similar story but Avanti's husband dies by suicide following her elopement with GV. Subadra gradually grows fond of her husband Jagdeesh and feels suspicion over Praveen's materialistic motives behind eloping with her. After a few days, Subadra returns to Hyderabad by leaving a note to Praveen that she had changed her mind about remarriage, and prefers to stay with Jagdeesh. Meanwhile, Kanaka Durga learns that Praveen has eloped with her neighbour's wife. She treats Praveen with disgust following his return from Goa. Subadra resorts to suicide as she couldn't tolerate the deprecatory remarks on her by society. Kanaka Durga, on the other hand, decides to go for an abortion as she doesn't want to bear the child of evil-minded Praveen. Both of them are admitted to Mediciti hospital where GV and Avanti work as doctors while Praveen and Jagdeesh also arrive. There, GV and Avanti reveal they planned Subadra's elopement with Praveen so that she realizes the importance of marriage and loving husband.
