Sekhar, Hari, Vasu, Kumar and Gandhi are unemployed youths living in a colony who are looking for jobs and are unable to make a living. Geeta moves into their colony with her father and everybody falls for her, one trying to make a fool of the other. They tease her, but she teaches them a lesson and later they become friends. Sekhar also likes her, but does not express it. Geeta changes the lives of all of them by making them earn their living by what they know and implementing it successfully.
