Plot

The movie starts with Chinni (Nagarjuna) revealing, on a train journey from Pune to Hyderabad, that he just got out of jail after seven years. His past is revealed in a flashback. He had been a singer, waiting for the big break. Indu (Simran) hears his voice though she doesn't see him and becomes his fan. When Chinni realizes this, he tries to reveal who he is but circumstances place him and Indu in situations where she ends up thinking that he is rowdy. Chinni ultimately becomes responsible for her losing her eyesight too. He devotes himself to her from then onwards attending to her every need. She learns to respect and love him too, thinking that he is the singer and not knowing that he is the same person she thought was rowdy.

Chinni had been telling his mother everything by letter and when she dies, she donates her eyes to Indu. To come up with the money needed for the operation, Chinni donates his kidney and has to travel to Pune for the same. Ready to get back, he is arrested after agreeing to look after the luggage (which turns out to contain ammunition) of another man. Back in the present, everything has changed in the place he used to live. He catches a glimpse of Indu, now the collector. When he goes to meet her, she orders her officers to arrest him, remembering him as the rowdy who caused her eyesight loss. But when Chinni begins to sing, Indu realizes that the "rowdy" she arrested was none other than Chinni. She apologizes for misunderstanding him and they happily embrace, rekindling their relationship.

Meghamai song was reused from the song 'Sayonee' (1997).

Reception

A critic from Sify wrote that "It seems that Nagarjuna has finally delivered a hit with “Nuvvu Vasthavani” and it is a wholesome entertainer from the stable of Supergood Films. Nagarjuna and Simran excels in this love story backed up with melodious music by S.A.Rajkumar. Particularly the title number “Nuvvu Vasthavani" is bound to catch up with listeners. Except for pedestrian comedy track, director Pratap sustains the grip of the `twist` logically by creating realistic situations".^[5]
