The movie depicts the fashion, music and lifestyle widespread among the youth in the early 2000s. Plot Munna, Babu Kalyanam "Bob Galy", Juju, Krishna and Kumar are five friends. Although from different backgrounds, they all have common interests: disinterest in studies, obsession with smoking, drinking, ogling girls, having sex, watching pornography, and complaining about their parents. Their obsession with sex is such that while Munna's parents are out of town, they hire a prostitute Rani, but all of them back out at the last moment. One day, they meet Mangalam, a depressed middle-age man, in a bar, and help him home after he passes out. Although they first use him as a source to get alcohol, Mangalam enjoys their company and becomes a mentor of sorts for the boys. One day, the boys see a teenage girl Harini, who is a BSc student having an ambition of becoming a doctor, and all of them decide to ask her out. Everyone's try fails, but they eventually become friends with her and her friends Sampatha, Padma, Ankita and Teju. However, Munna is still in love with Harini and cannot forget her. He conveys his feelings to her while on a day-out in a resort, but she rejects him. Later, Sampatha tells Munna that Harini would accept him if he streaks on Mount Road for fun. He believes her, and plans to do it. But his plan fails when his dress and shoes gets stuck at a lorry and when he goes after the lorry, he fails to get it. Soon a police officer comes there and chases him. He jumps in to Juju's bike and they both escape. But, Munna gets caught by the police and gets arrested. In the court, he lies that he did it as his friend told him that he will get 1,000, concealing the truth as Harini's career will be spoiled. The court orders him to pay a fine of 1,000 and imprisonment for one day. When Harini learns what Munna did, she bails him out and accepts his love.
