Transcription
Plot
Raju alias Yuvaraja is the youngest son of a family and a careless guy, always going around girls and enjoying with them. His womanizing habits are a source of heartburn for his father. However, his elder brother Chakri is a kickboxer and his father's favourite son, who is very fond of him. Janu, Yuvaraja's neighbour, is in love with him, but it is just one sided as Raju considers her a good friend and a source of money and cars to impress girls (Janu's father is a garage owner).
Raju starts going out with Lovely, a rich college girl, and poses as a wealthy millionaire's son to impress her and love her. Lovely falls for his lies and starts loving him. However, she soon finds out that Raju has lied to her and dumps him and insults him in front of his father. Raju's father, tired of his son's antics, kicks him out of the house and shuns him. Raju is now homeless and Jaanu tells him to be more responsible of himself. Later, Chakri is attacked by Rohith, who happens to be Lovely's new boyfriend and his enemy, and his friends and is bedridden, unable to take part in the kickboxing championship. Raju decides to fight for his brother and to redeem himself in his father's eyes by fighting in the championship match against Rohith. Deciding to seek revenge for his brother's accident and to prove himself to his father, Yuvaraja defeats Rohith after a long and bloody boxing match, redeems himself in front of his father's eyes and finally accepts Janu's love. Hence the film ends with a happy ending, and everyone greets Raju as Yuvaraja.
