He keeps two conditions to Raju to make their marriage; one is to get a job and the second is to give him 5 lakhs as reverse dowry. Raju decides to give it get Meghamala's hand at any cost. By leaving his studies in the middle, he joins as an assistant at Sarvanamam (Kota Srinivasa Rao), who smuggles dangerous real murder video cassettes, without knowing the reality. Once in the exchange, Sarvanamam's son Suresh (Sudhakar) stole 5 lakhs from Raju and puts the blame on him. So Sarvanamam keeps Raju's mother (Lakshmi Kanakala) in his custody until he returns his money. Now Raju has to earn a total 10 lakhs to save his mother and to gain his love. To acquire it, Raju is in search of secret hidden treasures with help of his Professor (Ramana Murthy). In that search, he finds an old historical coin and his Professor explains that it is the most powerful coin, which gives anonymous strength and immense self-confidence, with which one can do wonders.
