Vamsy, Nandu and Bose are childhood friends. Vamsy and Nandu grew up very close. Bose falls in love with Sowmya, one of their college mates. When Bose tells Vamsy about her, he deems it to be one more love affair that is bound to fail. Vamsy feels that friendship is more valuable than love and that love spoils a friendship. Nandu, who wanted to share her love towards Vamsy on his birthday, goes back to the shelter as she feels Vamsy might get offended.
Vamsy leaves for New Zealand to supervise the overseas operations of his father's company. In New Zealand, Vamsy realizes that he is in love with Nandu through a colleague at work, Maggy. When Vamsy returns to India, he finds out that Nandu is already engaged to Venkat. Just before her marriage, Nandu receives a bouquet from Maggy from New Zealand addressing both Vamsy and Nandu congratulating their marriage. Realizing that Vamsy loves her, Nandu runs after him to the airport and unites with him.
Aryan Rajesh shot for this film simultaneously with Hai which released a few months prior to this film. The film completed its first schedule in the second half of January 2002.
The music was composed by Devi Sri Prasad and was released on Aditya Music.
A critic from Sify wrote, "On the whole the film could have been marketed more as a comedy film rather than a love story".
The film was an average grosser at the box office, but its comedy scenes have achieved cult status over the years and it is one of the most frequently used films on Telugu meme pages.
