Story
Srinu (Hari), Farooq (Manoj) and Mallesh (Shashi) are childhood friends. The three boys live in a slum and spend most of their time without any proper work. Fighting with other groups, playing cricket, eating and roaming around are their daily activities.
Geethakka (Veda Jalandhar), who lives in the same area, always tries to guide them and put them on the right path. Chacha (Vishwender Reddy) is like a father figure to the three boys. His family lives in Dubai, so he stays alone. The boys are very close to him and especially love the biryani he prepares.
A cricket match leads to a major fight between their group and another group in the area. Their families also scold them and ask them to change their lives.
The three friends finally decide to get jobs. Geethakka helps Hari get a job as an office boy in her office. Manoj starts working at his brother's mechanic shop, while Shashi becomes a car driver.
Even though they do not initially like their jobs, they continue working and become busy with their own lives.
What changes take place in their lives? What role does biryani play in the story? Will their business succeed when they decide to start one together? How does Chacha help them? Will the three friends finally improve their lives? What is Ravi's (Ravan) role in the story? The film answers these questions.
Performances
Hari, Manoj and Shashi give natural performances and look like ordinary boys from the neighbourhood. Vishwender Reddy is impressive as Chacha and brings a strong and serious presence to the role.
Veda Jalandhar is also good as Geethakka. The other actors fit well into their roles and support the story.
