Bujjigadu

Bujji and Chitti are inseparable childhood friends and like each other. One day, they argue and Chitti tells Bujji to leave and never return. When he pleads to her, she asks him to prove his sincerity by staying away from her for twelve years and promises to marry him if he does. Though devastated, Bujji reluctantly agrees to stay away from her and moves to Chennai to keep a distance. Meanwhile, Chitti's family moves to Hyderabad, cutting all ties from Bujji's family.

Bujji grows up in Chennai and becomes a hooligan, though he preserves his soft nature and his love for Chitti. After twelve years, he returns to meet Chitti but is caught in a brawl and is jailed. There, he meets the sons of Machi Reddy, and they offer him one crore to kill Sivanna. Bujji thinks that he could save money for his married life and agrees, but when Bujji tries to kill Sivanna, he is injured. Sivanna is impressed by his innocence and purity and asks him to stay with him for a while. He stays there under the name of Rajinikanth, Bujji's favorite actor.

Later, Bujji meets Sivanna's sister Meghana, whose real name is Chitti. However, Bujji is unable to recognize her as Chitti. Bujji eventually realises that Meghana was Chitti and tries to reveal that to her, but Sivanna stops him, saying that Meghana would only stay with him until she finds Bujji, as she actually hates her brother since he was responsible for his first wife's death. When Machi Reddy learns that he is part of Sivanna's gang, his sons shoot Chitti, kidnap Sivanna's second sister Kangana, and ask to trade her for Sivanna. Chitti sends Bujji to save Kangana. Bujji and Sivanna head to rescue Kangana, with Sivanna killing Ajay (one of Machi Reddy's son) and Machi Reddy with Bujji killing Supreeth (Machi Reddy's second son) with his shoe blade trick, Venkat is left beaten, but not killed like some of Machi Reddy's goons. Sivanna is injured but survives and Kangana is rescued. After recovery, he asks Bujji and Chitti what the fight they had in their childhood was about. Bujji states that one time on the beach, Chitti had built a sand temple with a stone as a representation for her God, but Bujji had destroyed it and it made her angry. The film ends with Chitti reuniting with Bujji and living with Sivanna.
