Arjun story at a glance

Arjun (Mahesh Babu) and Meenakshi (Keerthi Reddy) are twins share great love and affection. Meenakshi receives a love letter from her class mate Uday (Raja). She informs about it to her brother and expresses her interest in him. Arjun sets to Madurai along with his parents and gets the couple married. Uday's parents Bala (Prakash Raj) and Andal (Sarita) are cold-blooded murderers and they are not happy with this. Arjun foils all the attempts by Bala and Andal to get rid of Meenakshi from the life of Raja. The rest of the story of the film is about how he exposes the evil nature of the in-laws.
