In her acquaintance, he reforms and quits his past life. During their engagement, Ramulamma (Alapati Lakshmi), Babji's mother works as a housekeeper at Sirisha's residence curses to break up their espousal. Right now, Sivaji decides to protect Babji, so, he reopens the case. Being cognizant of it, M.P.Narasimham & Srinath slaughters Sivaji and he reaches the hell.

At present, Sivaji creates turmoil & turbulence in hell when he finds that his lifespan is 11 days more. So, Yama sends him back along with a beautiful girl Puthana (Sadhika) to maintain secrecy. Thereafter, Sivaji is almost in an edge to win when baddies again reattack. In the combat, Chintu loses her eyesight when Ramulamma commits requesting to transplant her eyes. Meanwhile, the wedding arrangements of Sivaji & Sirisha are in progress at Tirumala when Sivaji decides to cancel the match as his days are less. So, he plays a drama with his ex-girlfriend Swarna (Chandini) to make Sirisha develop hatred towards him when Puthana also understands his virtue and she too helps him. Yama notices it, hence, he lands at the earth when by mistake he reveals a secret regarding Sirisha's horoscope that her spouse has longevity. Now Sivaji rushes towards Tirumala and Yama chases him. Even M.P.Narasimham & Srinath blocks his way, he ceases them, arrives at Tirumala and ties the wedding chain (Mangalasturam) to Sirisha before Yama's whip (Yama Pasam) reaches him.
