Plot[edit]
The film begins in a college where a craven callow, Raju, becomes pock fun by his pet name, Kobbari Bondam, the coconut for a you-teasing gang that a guileful Satish leads. Meghamala is a naughty newcomer whom Raju loves at first sight. Indeed, Meghamala resides with her brother, whom his nitwitted wife pesters, testing the new products on him. Plus, he is debited a vast amount to a malicious Kapoor, who threatens his sibling's hand instead of payment. Raju proposes to her, who convoys him to her brother in play. He stipulates Raju with two conditions:
- To acquire a job.
- Accord ₹500,000 (US$6,300) reverse dowry
Besides, vicious Sarvanamam Satish's father smuggles the actual crime of brutal boxing game video cassettes allying Kapoor. Now, Raju quits the college to gain Meghamala and attains employment at Sarvanam by incognizant of his dark shade. Once, he bears ₹500,000 (US$6,300) worth deal responsibility, which Satish trickly steals from him. Whereat, Sarvanamam enrages & keeps Raju's mother in custody until he returns his money. Raju is currently puzzled to generate ₹1,000,000 (US$13,000). According to the curb palmist's advice, Raju prolongs his quests for treasure troves'. He also consults his college professor, who aids him in the soft corner. Raju forwards for it and unearths an old historical coin. The professor proclaims that he has won a great treasure since it is the most potent Coin, which gives anonymous strength and immense self-confidence. Thus, Raju stands tall and does wonders, patching with an obese body.
Firstly, he discerns Satish as the actual killer and gallantly encounters Sarvanamam to relieve his mother's clutches. Anyhow, she provides her disapproval unless he refunds. Raju tactically heists Sarvanamam's assets, incriminating Satish, and gets out his mother. Further, he mocks Meghamala, and she seeks vengeance by imputing a rape bid on him. Due to hard luck, Satish attempts to molest Meghamala when Raju guards her, and she truly crushes for him. Yet, Meghamala's brother still stands stubborn about the payment. So, Raju teases him in steps: stating his date of death, showing various signs that he is near to losing his life, etc.
Parallelly, Kapoor wiles to shoot a video film with Raju offering ₹500,000 (US$6,300) remuneration, which he denies. Therein, he endangers Meghamala's brother for a payoff within 24 hours. Being conscious of it, Raju accepts the invitation to participate in the match and divulges the totality of the Coin to Meghamala. Overhearing it, Satish thefts and swallows the Coin. Unbeknownst, Raju enters the ring, collapses in Coin's absence, and batters to death. Suddenly, the professor arrives with the Coin, and Raju ceases the heels with redoubled energy. Soon after, startlingly, he spots it as duplicates when the professor affirms that he has forged the Coin, miraculously altering his skeptical mindset, which is timid despite having strength. At last, Raju declares that the one that triumphs for him is his willpower. Finally, the movie ends happily, with the marriage of Raju & Meghamala.
