Sandeep 'Sandy' is a next-gen youngster who parties hard and has a modern outlook, but his ideas towards marriage are traditional. As he gets a job in the US, his parents Vasundhara and Raj Gopal, who got married against their respective parents' wishes, ask him to get married. He accepts and tells them that he will marry a girl of their choice in a ceremony that lasts five days. He also refuses to see his bride until the marriage. Everything is arranged according to his wishes, and his marriage is fixed with Deepthi. At the ceremony, when Sandy and Deepthi see each other, they fall in love at first sight. But during the ceremony, Deepthi gets kidnapped by a local goon named Diwakar. Sandy's family tries to convince him for another marriage, but he refuses and tries finding Deepthi. He gets to know Deepthi's whereabouts. Diwakar kidnapped Deepthi to take revenge from her as she slapped him for misbehaving with her in public. The police gets killed by Diwakar and his men. Sandy takes the law into his hands and kidnaps Diwakar's brother Prabhakar. He threatens to kill Prabhakar if he doesn't release Deepthi. Diwakar releases Deepthi and he kills Prabhakar infront of them because Prabhakar wanted Deepthi. In the scuffle, Sandeep challenges Diwakar to come to their marriage and try to kidnap Deepthi infront of his eyes, to which he agrees. Sandy and Deepthi get married successfully, this time with all the rituals. When they step out of the mandap, Diwakar attacks Sandy. A fight happens in which Sandy confronts Diwakar and kills him. Sandy and Deepthi then live happily ever after.

A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "Gunasekhar has taken quite a bit of time after the 'disastrous' Sainikudu to come up with the mainstream Varudu wherein he has concentrated on the visual presentation and graphics more than on the content. Worth a watch".[6][7][8]
