On their way, Amu's chain is snatched, and Sanju's money is stolen. Raja calls Sanju and asks him to settle the money within 5PM. Srinivas lodges a complaint with Sub-Inspector Padmavathi against Sanju on charges of kidnapping Amu and gives his number. Padmavathi calls Sanju and tells him that he should come along with Amu to the police station within 5PM, but problems are yet to come; Sanju's brother-in-law asks some amount of money from him to start a business. On the other hand, Amu is kidnapped by Raja's men, assuming her to be other man's girlfriend who also has to return money to Raja. Sanju comes across the same man and decides to snatch his chain, but unfortunately at the moment, he tries to snatch the chain, the man meets with an accident, and Sanju takes him to a hospital. The man's brother Posani Balakrishna, who has influence, assures Sanju of a job in his company. Suddenly, Padmavathi arrives there and says that Raja died in an accident. A flashback reveals that Lighthouse, the man who stole Amu's chain and Sanju's money, had borrowed some money from Raja, too. He plots with two others in having the money for themselves and stealing Raja's car. While the plan works out perfectly, Raja's men went behind the car, and Raja goes behind the other man.
