In Zurich, wheelchair-using business tycoon Sharat Chandra reveals to his grandson, Bhargav Nanda, his wish to mend relations with his estranged daughter Saraswathi, whom he disowned for marrying Prakash against his wishes. Determined to reconcile the family before Sharat Chandra's 80th birthday, Bhargav travels to Hyderabad, India. Disguised as a driver named Chandu, he earns the trust of Prakash, who has suffered a heart attack, and his family by admitting Prakash to the hospital.
Bhargav, posing as Chandu, is hired as a driver by Saraswathi and befriends her eldest daughter, Indira, while Saraswathi’s second daughter, Rukmini, grows suspicious of him and his friend Laxmi, Prakash's nurse. Saraswathi discloses to Bhargav that she is aware of who he is and warns him from doing anything with an intent to take her back to Sharat Chandra whom she refuses to forgive as the latter shot Prakash in his arm in a fit of rage when they got married after eloping. Bhargav saves Indira from a suicide attempt and she divulges that she was trying to run away with Rohith, whom Bhargav assumed to be the kidnapper. Indira requests Bhargav to bring Rohith to her as he is being forced to marry Neelamani, daughter of a fierce factionist Veerappa, the very next day and Bhargav obliges to her plea.
Bhargav and Laxmi travel to Siddhappa’s village to retrieve Rohith, but Rukmini inadvertently falls into their jeep and suffers from amnesia. To protect her, Bhargav pretends to be her lover, whom she ran away with against her mother’s wishes. Bhargav and Laxmi successfully rescue Rohith, but are pursued by Siddhappa and his men. During a confrontation, Rukmini regains her memory. Siddhappa then confronts Prakash and Saraswathi, demanding compensation for the damage caused to her daughter and their reputation. To prevent further conflict, Saraswathi offers to get Rukmini married to Siddhappa’s elder son and Prakash dismisses Bhargav from his job. Rukmini confesses her love for Bhargav, which is overheard by her cousin.
Bhaskar, an affluent NRI and Siddhappa's nephew, arrives as a guest at Saraswathi’s home. Saraswathi reveals to her assistant Murthy that Bhaskar was her previous assistant, who had become wealthy by discovering diamonds in a plot he bought in Uganda with the ₹2 lakh he stole from her. Bhargav traps Bhaskar, who has a penchant for women and desires to marry Rukmini and joins him as his assistant, entering Saraswathi's residence with his support.
Bhaskar's conspiracies to get close to Rukmini are constantly thwarted by Bhargav who takes Rukmini to the railway station for eloping to Chennai apparently. Siddhappa's men arrive at the station after learning from Rukmini's cousin about her love for Bhargav but the latter thrashes them and Rukmini perceives Bhargav's true identity and his intentions. Prakash arrives at the station and attempts to shoot Bhargav. Bhargav wonders that if Sharat Chandra was wrong at that time for shooting Prakash then why is the latter doing the same right now. Bhargav reflects on Sharat Chandra’s past actions and reveals that after Saraswathi eloped with Prakash, Sharat Chandra, overwhelmed with guilt, accidentally killed Bhargav’s mother Pooja while trying to shoot himself. Despite this tragedy, Bhargav and his father had forgiven Sharat Chandra.
Realizing their errors, Prakash and Saraswathi reconcile with Bhargav and agree to mend their relationship with Sharat Chandra. Bhaskar, seeking revenge, kidnaps Rukmini, but Bhargav and Laxmi rescue her. Bhaskar discovers that the Ugandan government has seized his wealth, leaving him with only ₹2 lakh. Saraswathi travels to Zurich with her family, publicly supporting Sharat Chandra during a board meeting and endorsing Bhargav as the new CEO of the company.
The film concludes with Bhaskar resuming his position as Saraswathi’s assistant, and Sharat Chandra expressing his affection for Bhargav, solidifying the family’s reconciliation and unity as the entire family eat together happily.
