Plot
[edit]Jeeva (Sharan) must correct the mistakes understood about his best friend Raghu by his villagers in childhood after his death.
Then he goes to his friend's village where two village heads are enemies. When he enters he sees Raghu's sister and her boyfriend are just to be killed by the head because he is from another village. He manages to save them by marrying them and separating them in the eyes of the head. He says that he is Jeeva and a fan of the head. He lies to Raghu's mother and two sisters that he is Raghu.
He then goes to another village in the form of a director. There he falls in love with the head's daughter Geeta (Shruti Hariharan), who later reciprocates it after knowing his good character. But the twist in the tale comes when his village's head's sister Smita (Shuba Punja) tells that she loves him. Later Geeta's father learns his mistake. Jeeva violently beats up Smita's brother and gives him a chance to change which he does. The film ends with Raghu's sister's marriage. The pandit asks about Jeeva's marriage which again creates a rift which Jeeva resolves. Jeeva asks the god Maruti which he advices to choose himself.[citation needed]
