Some comedy appears here because Shankar is unaware that Sunitha and his childhood friend 'Chitti' are one and the same an ignorance that Sunitha hilariously exploits. Meanwhile, Sunitha becomes increasingly fond of Shankar, who in his turn becomes unreservedly infatuated with her. This behavior is explained early on as an attempt to practice laughter therapy, an attempt that seems to have backfired - Ramalingeswara's laughing serves more to convey his anger than diffuse it. Repeatedly, this near-dementia is shown when he receives unwelcome tidings and begins laughing in a way that implies that he has gone mad. He becomes increasingly irrational, almost to the point of insanity. Ramalingeswara, who perceives all this as symptoms of chaos, is unable to prevent it from expanding and gaining ground at his college. To this end, he defies all convention by treating a brain-dead child named Sriramachandra Murthy alias Sriram (Vaishnav Tej) as if the kid were able to perceive and understand normally interacts on familiar but autocratic terms with patients humiliates school bullies effusively thanks a hitherto-underappreciated janitor and encourages the patients themselves to make changes in their lives, so that they do not need drugs or surgery. Despite the school's emphasis on mechanical, Cartesian, impersonal, often bureaucratic relationships between doctors and patients, Shankar constantly seeks to impose a more empathetic, almost holistic, regimen. While Shankar's skills as a medical doctor are minimal, he transforms those around him with the 'Jantar Mantar' (heartful hug) - a method of comfort taught to Shankar by his mother - and the compassion he shows towards those in need. His success there becomes dependent upon the (coerced) help of faculty member Dr. With the help of his right-hand man ATM ( Srikanth) and others, Shankar 'gains admission' to the Osmania College of Medical Sciences, where he again encounters Ramalingeswara, who is the dean.

He decides to go to a medical college to obtain an MBBS degree, the graduate medical degree in South Asia. Shankar, in grief and despair, decides that the only way to redeem himself and to gain revenge for the humiliation suffered by his father at the hands of the spiteful Ramalingeswara is to become a doctor. Shankar's parents, aghast and later heartbroken, leave for their village. Ramalingeswara insults Shankar's parents and calls them 'fools' for being ignorant of Shankar's real life.

At this point the truth about Shankar is revealed. Ramalingeswara Rao ( Paresh Rawal), and the two older men decide to marry Shankar to Ramalingeswara Rao's daughter Dr. One year, however, Shankar's plan goes awry when his father meets an old acquaintance, Dr. Given that his father Satya Prasad ( Girish Karnad) had wished him to be a medical doctor, he creates the faux Sri Satya Prasad Charitable Hospital (named after his father) and pretends to live in accordance with this wish whenever his father and mother ( Venniradai Nirmala) visit him in Hyderabad.

Shankar Prasad ( Chiranjeevi), nicknamed 'Shankar Dada' (literally 'Brother Shankar') is a bhai or goonda: a crime don in Hyderabad.
