The film begins with the two besties, Dhanunjaya Rao and Chandra Sekhar. Dhanunjaya Rao, a tycoon, goes above and beyond to show Chandra Sekhar the importance of friendship. The two are blessed with male children on the same day and lead jollity. After a while, Chandra Shekar, being a police officer, seizes a dreaded goon whose men abduct Dhanunjaya Rao's son as an exchange. Chandra Shekar succumbs to his selfishness during the swap and shoots the criminal. As a result, Dhanunjaya Rao's son dies, which leads to the blackout stage of his wife, Lakshmi. Frenzied, Dhanunjaya Rao is out for blood by slaying Chandra Shekar's son, whom he hides.

Years roll by, and Dhanunjaya Rao is still under hunt of the boy, and Lakshmi is in a coma. Once, he sees a rectitude and rebel Durga Prasad thrashing the wicked cops for abusing the needy woman. Currently, Dhanunjaya Rao assigns him the task of detecting the whereabouts and assassinating the foe's son, which he accepts. Durga Prasad gets accommodated at his residence, where he is acquainted with his naughty nephew Charulatha / Baby. After a series of donnybrooks, she crushes. Shortly, he develops an affinity with Dhanunjaya Rao and reduces his grief. Step by Step, he makes Lakshmi normal with his volition. At that juncture, a valiant Simbhu Prasad arrives as Chandra Shekar's son, who dies in collision with Durga Prasad. Further, Dhanunjaya Rao's couple embraces Durga Prasad as their son settles nuptials and notifies his diabolical sister, Chamundeswari. Here, as a flabbergast, she infuriated repulses, claiming Durga Prasad is a stout-hearted SP and spins rearward.

Now, the tale shifts to a village where MP Kaaleswara Rao, husband of Chamundeswari, suppresses them under his toe and conducts various atrocities. Hema, a charming beauty, halts therein between the journey and is aware of the status quo. All at once, Durga Prasad alights and encounters Kaaleswara Rao's son, which Hema views and falls for. Apart from this, Kulashekar Rao, the father of Hema, coheres to the grounds of caste advances with the proposal to Durga Prasad's father, Visweswara Rao. In the interim, Kaaleswara Rao incarcerates the village and gives a call to Durga Prasad, jeopardizing them. However, he succeeds in shielding them by thundering on knaves, but it paralyzes his right arm.

Despite this, Hema stands firm, defying her parents, resides at Durga Prasad's house, serves day & night, and recoups him. During their wedlock, Chamundeswari Ruses breaks a cover-up that Durga Prasad is a foster to Visweswara Rao. So, Kulashekar Rao cancels the match when Durga Prasad aims and moves in quest of his parents. Presently, as a startle, Durga Prasad is the actual son of Chandra Shekar, and Simbhu Prasad is his younger progeny, Visweswara Rao. The two made this play to show Dhanunjaya Rao's serenity and rectify Lakshmi. Recognizing it, Dhanunjaya Rao flares up with Kaaleswara Rao & Chamundeswari when Durga Prasad bows his head down for sacrifice. On the verge of slaying, Lakshmi hinders him when he turns off. At last, Durga Prasad ceases the baddies, and Dhanunjaya Rao forgives Chandra Sekhar. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Durga Prasad & Hema.
