Plot
It follows the chaotic, interwoven day of two entirely different men desperate for money. Pandit Raghava (played by Mohan Babu) is a short-tempered cab driver in Hyderabad who lies to his family that he is an insurance agent, needing a few thousand rupees to clear pressing debts. Vijay Raj (played by Vishnu Manchu) is a spoiled, wealthy youth rushing to a crucial court hearing to claim a multi-crore inheritance from his late father. When Vijay hires Raghava's taxi, a series of arguments, accidents, and ego clashes spark a bitter rivalry between the two. As the day descends into a fast-paced battle of wits and retaliation, the two men deliberately sabotage each other's goals, only to eventually realize their mutual dependency and the devastating consequences of their pride.
