Kalyan (Ravi Teja) is a guy who loves challenges and cannot live without getting a "kick" out of doing things. For example, he drinks milk before bed but only after sniffing whiskey because that's doing it with a "kick."
He falls in love with Naina (Ileana D'Cruz) for a "kick," but she leaves him after Kalyan lies about his job (he joins a job and resigns after four days). He is also supported by his father (Sayaji Shinde), who believes in his lifestyle.
Naina goes to Malaysia after this ordeal, where her father fixes her marriage with a tough cop kalyan krishna(shaam). However, Kalyan Krishna has a mission. He is there to catch a notorious thief (Ravi Teja) who has been stealing money from rich people in India, and got away with it.
There is a comedy arc as a love triangle starts between Kalyan Krishna, Naina and Kalyan.
