Krishnamurthy's daughter Geetha and Vikram soon fall for each other. Despite the colonel's attempts to discipline Vikram, Vikram's attempts to fight that change is captured well in all its hilarity. In the meantime, to ensure that Vikram does his job, Chandrashekhar entrusts Krishnamurthy, a retired colonel in the INA to discipline Vikram.
