He extorts money, kidnaps and roughs up people for money with the help of his faithful sidekick ATM (Srikanth). But, he lies to his old age father (Girish Karnad) that he is a doctor in the city. Every year when they come to the city to visit him, he pretends to be a doctor and makes them happy. Finally the drama comes to an end, as one of the doctors in the locality Lingam (Paresh Rawal) tells Shankala’s parents the truth when the try to strike an alliance between their son and his daughter Sunitha (Sonali Bendre). Shankar decides to complete MBBS and become a doctor to live up to his parent’s wishes. He joins the college at which Paresh Rawal is the principal, and turns into a menace to him. There is a parallel track where he cures the patients in the hospital, not through medicine, but by showing love and affection towards them. How he lives up to his parent’s dream and makes Sunitha fall in love with him, while gaining the principal’s acceptance forms the story’s crux.
