Raghav (Nagarjuna) is an orphan and receives assignments from an underworld gangster, J.P. Shetty (Danny Denzongpa), who hired him for contract killing, as a full-time job. Raghav leads a calm and secretive life and there is no room for relationships, in it. At a particular instance, he meets Bhavana (Urmila Matondkar), an ornithologist student, and falls in love with her innocence and charm. He hides his real identity from her and she, too, reciprocates his feelings. When things start looking hopeful for a normal life, for Raghav, Bhavana discovers his real identity and distances herself from him. The rest of the film is about what happens to the ill-fated Raghav.
