Plot edit
The film begins with Gangaram, a deadly gangster, approaching the powerful wizard Malabar Baba and acquiring the knowledge of Parakaya Pravesha, which means one's soul entering into another's body. After that, Inspector Mahesh, a sheer cop, onslaughts on him. Severely injured, Gangaram lands at a post office and transfers his soul into a doll nearby.
Aside from Rambabu, a ventriloquist at Eluru, the doll holding Gangaram's soul is delivered, presented by his cousin Sowmya from the United States. Here, Rambabu amours Lakshmi but is rejected by her father, Constable Nukka Raju, as he aspires to couple up his daughter with his subordinate Cola. Meanwhile, Sowmya returns to pursue a Ph.D. in Criminal Psychology. Accordingly, she is acquainted with Mahesh, and they fall in love. Once, Rambabu insults his house owner, Janardhan Seth, in the show, and he seals his belongings, including the Gangaram doll. Thereupon, Gangaram slays out Janardhan Seth, perceiving the dirty deed angered him. Rambabu reaches Janardhan Seth's house, where he spots him dead.
Just after Mahesh arrives, he judges Rambabu as the culprit and arrests him. In jail, Rambabu desperately tries and fails to explain reality. After that, Gangaram absconds to Hyderabad. The post-mortem report proves the innocence of Rambabu, and he is freed. Gangaram currently contacts Malabar Baba and seeks transformation into a mortal human body. Affrightened Baba reveals that he can attain the mortal body of the 1st person who knows his secret, i.e., Rambabu. Soon, Gangaram backs up with his henchman Deva. During the interval, Mahesh finds Malabar Baba's whereabouts. He learns the truth, and the only way to relieve Gangaram's soul is to shoot between his eyebrows before he enters Rambabu's body. Immediately, Mahesh flees when Gangaram attempts to possess Rambabu's body. At last, Mahesh successfully eliminates Gangaram. Finally, the movie ends with the marriages of Rambabu & Lakshmi and Mahesh & Sowmya.
