The film demonstrates Srikanth’s achievements despite adverse situations. The day he was born the delight of the father who named his son after cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth turns into dismay when he sees sightless newborn. He digs a hole to bury him but is saved by his mother. He also has to endure bullying in the local school despite his brilliance.

From then on he is mentored by his teacher Devika who hand-holds him, helping him file a court case to study science as a subject (despite scoring 98%). She prompts him to try to apply abroad and he gets selected as the first international visually impaired student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology after being denied entry into Indian Institute of Technology. At MIT he gets support of 2 students who help him achieve his dreams. During his college days, through social media he meets Swati who is fascinated with him. After graduation, Swati, now his girlfriend prompts him to realize his dreams by returning to India. Again his mentor helps him to start a computer institute which flops. Later he decides to set up a business (Bollant Industries) with his business partner Ravi Mantha, where he gives jobs mostly to the disabled. After a few misunderstandings with his partner, Srikanth is finally able to achieve the level of success he hoped for, with continued guidance from his mentor.
