Two murders happen to spice up the story. Ali suspects Teja of the murders. Teja is introduced to the concept of the inescapable trap of 'karma' by a fake godman Swamiji (Raghu Babu
), in the local bar. In some minutes, the 'godman' is punished with death by 'karma,'. At the other end of the spectrum are Raana and Jai, who are taken for a ride by a treacherous woman. Raana is in dire need of the money, while Jai mysteriously needs the same amount. Timothy and gang are on their way to spend the night with their favorite prostitute. Meanwhile, Teja hits a person while driving the car in a drunken state. There is a terrible link between the two, and the story rocks back and forth within a 40-minute duration leading to revealing the suspense.
