A woman (Maheshwari) is ‘sold’ to a prostitution ring by hero’s (Chakravarthy) friend, but is rescued by the hero just before she is to be forcibly married to a Dubai-based Sheikh. Produced by Varma and directed by Vamsy, considered a leading member of the Varma school of filmmaking, the bare plot is substantiated by a fast-moving screenplay eliminating conventional melodrama and targeting a new urban youth audience. The film’s success brought its lead pair and director into prominence in Telugu film.
