Plot

[edit]

The film begins in a forest, where its officer rears an elephant called Gajendra beyond his progeny. A notorious poacher conducts a high level of trafficking, which the forest officer hinders. So, he assassinates him, which Gajendra witnesses and seeks vengeance. The tale shifts to the city, where Rajendra, an artful with his acolyte, Gundu, spends his time with wit. Kotilingam, their skinflint house owner, and they trickily avoid him without payment by handing him to the mental hospital & Police Station in a single day. Parallelly, Alaka Kotilingam's daughter arrives, whose acquaintance with Rajendra starts with misconstrue as a thief and batters him. Kotilingam could not bear his torture and was about to vacate him forcibly. Rajendra has a habit of buying lottery tickets when Gundu suddenly announces he won a bumper special price. Rajendra rushes and startles to view his winning as an elephant Gajendra. Though Rajendra turns it down, on Gundu's provocation, he agrees that it is their mascot. From there, Rajendra gamely gimmicks for Gajendra. Initially, he dupes Kotilingam and intrudes into the house by confirming that the elephant's dung is precious, which makes him covertly collect it every day. Next, they muddle a hotel owner, Murugan, to have a large meal, and he boots them. Enraged, Gajendra demolishes his hotel but blesses Murugan's infant. Above all, Rajendra betrays a bank manager who obtains a loan to sell a male elephant's milk. As a glimpse, a seller knit his cousin Ammadu tries to sustain in various businesses, and anonymous talks gibberish Chata. The two roam around & annoy everyone.

Meanwhile, Gajendra hikes the squabbles between Rajendra & Alaka to flourish in love. During this trial, Alaka pains Gajendra by nailing his leg in reprisal. After guarding her from the goons, she comprehends its virtue when Alaka crushes for Rajendra. Following this, Rajendra falls ultimately into debt and cannot pay the loan, and the Manager seals Gajendra. Later, he charges them for unveiling the fraud and claims a sentence when furious Rajendra expels the Gajendra. Next, it secures the market merchants from the dreadful ruffians who clutch their strive. Thus, they all promote Rajendra by allotting him a neighborhood shop, which molds Gajendra as his soulmate. Once, Gajendra hits hard while saving Murugan's daughter from an accident victim whom Rajendra recoups with his idolization. The two also benefit Murugan from re-establishing his hotel. Now, Gajendra detects the poacher, which scares him. Simultaneously, Kotilingam approaches him to bar the love affair of Rajendra & Alaka—the heels ruse when Kotilingam stipulates Rajendra quit Gajendra instead of his daughter's hand. Hereupon, Rajendra stands firm, not going out Gajendra, but quietly walks out as per gratitude, which has been abducted by blackguards. At last, the poacher attempts to slay Gajendra, whom Rajendra shields, and they cease the baddies. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Rajendra & Alaka, and they join Gajendra, too.
