== Plot == Ram, a vagabond working in various job fields, lives a happy life with his father, a lawyer. One day, Ram meets Ramya, the daughter of a rich business tycoon Devendra Shetty, and they gradually fall for each other. Ramya asks Ram to help Dr. Rakshitha elope from her father [[Member of the Legislative Assembly|MLA]] Soorappa, who has fixed a wedding alliance with [[Minister of Home Affairs (India)|Home Minister]]'s son Rahul. Ram reluctantly agrees, where he masquerades as Dr. Mahesh and joins a hospital where Rakshitha works. Having helped Rakshitha escape from her family, Ram learns that Ramya never loved him and used him to help her reunite with Rahul, as they loved each other. Rakshitha also elopes with her boyfriend, Dr. Prem, a surgeon. Thrown in a fix, Ram escapes to [[Chikmaglur]] to stay with his father's friend Suryanarayana, where he meets Radhika, Suryanarayana's daughter. Radhika befriends Ram and learns about his problems. When Radhika proposes to Ram, he rejects her, but later accepts after seeing her willingness to sacrifice herself for him. A series of comedic sequences ensues in which Ram clears Soorappa and Shetty's misunderstandings and happily marries Radhika.
