Since the police are after them, Rami and Nani run non-stop and jump on stage during a modeling competition and win an oil lamp. In the meanwhile, Chandru tells a group of guys that two potential grooms are coming from America for their rich uncle, and his men hatch a plan to pretend to dress like them and kidnap them at the Bangalore International Airport. Chandru's men execute the plan with two of them dressing like the American potential grooms and two of them as the kidnappers. After the police inspector Sundar Raj arrives, Rami and Nani run to the airport. While they are changing, the clothes of the grooms from America and their orange wigs fall on them.

A critic from Viggy wrote that "Overall, is an overdosed comedy film without sync". A critic from indiainfo wrote that "People have forgotten to laugh. Though they know that laughing is very necessary for good health. Actually there is no one to make them laugh". Deccan Herald wrote "Ramesh and Narayan have no scope to perform. It is quite surprising how Ramesh accepted such an inane subject. There are some funny situations in the film and that’s about it. Doddanna is wasted and so are the glamour dolls. Mandeep Rai and Shobhraj give some comic relief. It is refreshing to see villain Shobhraj in a comic role. Mukhyamantri Chandru is okay.A film that has an overdose of comedy but is not in place".
