Plot

A group of eight youngsters from an engineering college form an unbreakable friendship after going through various struggles together.

The movie revolves around eight youngsters who become good friends in their freshman years when they enter college for their Bachelors in Engineering (B.E.). These young people's lives, on and off campus, are vividly presented. The first half deal with these freshmen's relationships with their seniors, who try to gain and keep the upper hand over their juniors. In the second half, the movie also shows love and affection among them, but does not neglect to emphasize the main aim of going to college, i.e., to evolve from a young dreamer to a more purposeful professional.—Mahendra Nutakki

Once, all the seniors launch a surprise attack on the four guys, Chandu, Tyson, Rajesh, and Shankar. While Shankar escapes unhurt, because one of the seniors is Sangeeta's brother, the rest of them are badly injured. They go back the next day to complain to the principal, when they are stopped by their super-seniors, who would like to bring a truce between the freshmen and their immediate seniors. They resolve the issue by setting up a cricket match between the two parties. Thus they win their freedom from their seniors by beating them in the match. Then the mood shifts to the exams, after which they become seniors. Then they go on the tour, which they plan.

During the exams, Chandu proposes to kiss Madhu, at which she is disappointed and asks him to apologize to her father, who witnesses the incident. Chandu doesn't agree to it, and they part their ways. In the meantime, the senior, Shravs falls for Tyson. Then, Tyson goes on a date to a movie with Shravz , where he sees Sangeeta being intimately close to another guy other than Shankar. Disappointed, Tyson comes out of the theater to inform it to Shankar. When Tyson tells Shankar the truth, he instead beats Tyson denying the fact. In frustration, Tyson asks Sangeeta to confess to Shankar, who does not agree. He then, in a fit of rage, slaps her in front of everybody in the college. She, out of humiliated anger, complains to her brother about it. He plots Shankar to bring Tyson to an isolated place, where they beat him up badly. Then, he is bed-ridden for a few days. In the mean-time, Shravz comes to Tyson and tells him that she is not yet ready to for a commitment, as he is not in her heart. He is disappointed. On the other hand, Chandu comes to terms with reality that he indeed is in love with Madhu, and would like to apologize to Madhu's father. Rajesh, who is after a junior, gets ready to propose to her, then realizes that Appu is in love with him, and starts reciprocating. They decide to get married. Meanwhile, Shankar realizes the hard way, that Sangeeta has been cheating him all this while, and asks the rest of his friends to forgive him. The farewell party is shown as the last scene of the movie. After the farewell, all the six students, Chandu, Madhu, Rajesh, Appu, Tyson and Shankar stay back in the college, when their principal arrives and meets students like them, who leave the college unwillingly, with tears in their eyes. He also briefs about what was the achievement of each of them, while they still wonder as if they really got anything from these four years of education at the college.
