Gautham, played by Gopichand, works as a security guard and aspires to earn easy money through lottery until one day, when he comes to learn about a hidden a treasure trove of 900 diamonds and other ornaments in Hingalji Devi temple housed in Pakistan.
When Gautham discovers that his grandfather Suryanarayana Varma buried the treasure years ago, it becomes his sole responsibility to lawfully claim what belongs to him. As the title suggests, does Gautham have the bravery in him to fight for the treasure amidst several obstacles along the way? This forms the rest of the story.
"Sahasam" stays away from the usual, melodramatic love saga and instead focuses on developing an engrossing story of a treasure hunt. This is one of the reasons why you don't regret watching it even though it's partly cliched.
A look at Yeleti's short filmography reveals that the director hasn't made two films in the same genre. This in itself is a rarity among filmmakers, who are nowadays driven by the never ending urge to make love stories with two heroines, a flashback and an invincible hero. This has been the definition of Telugu cinema for many years now.
