Plot

[edit]

The film begins with a high-stakes poker player, Chalapati, who perturbs his benevolent wife, Parvati. Once, in a brawl, he kills his fellow gambler, Kumar, younger of SP Ramadasu, and flees. Following, he is declared dead in an accident. During that plight, Ramadasu aids Parvati and civilizes her son, Ravi. Years roll by, and startlingly, Chalapati becomes a deadly gangster Baba who forges as honorable. Ravi molded spirited CID in his mother's nurture, unbeknownst to his father's dark shade. Currently, he is appointed to capture these gangsters when Baba & his acolyte Uddandam intrigue to clutch him repeatedly, but Ravi gallantly encounters them. Parallelly, he falls for Ramadasu's daughter, Vasantha, and elders fix their alliance. However, Ramadasu's mother denies it since Ravi's father is Kumar's homicide, which settles with Parvati's plea.

Later, Ravi discerns Baba is the monster and walks to meet him when he wiles to slay him by backstabbing via Uddandam. In the eleventh hour, Baba detects Ravi as his son by Parvati's photograph in his pocket watch, severely wounded while guarding him against danger. Nurse Parvati recognizes her husband at the hospital but quiets and implores Baba to be silent because she cannot divulge the fact to Ravi. After recovery, Baba invites Ravi & Vasantha and forcefully bestows a necklace on him. Here, sly Uddandam incriminates Ravi for bribery and is suspended. Ravi takes a final shot and furiously moves to seek vengeance against Baba. Simultaneously, Baba strikes Uddandam, learning the status of those who revolt against him. In that battle, Baba slaughters him and runs when Ravi chases him. Now he lands at Parvati, who begs her son not to apprehend him, but Ravi stands for righteousness: Ergo, Parvati's breath's last on Baba's lap. At last, Ravi affirms the actuality through Ramadasu and perceives his mother's holiness. Finally, the movie ends happily with the marriage of Ravi & Vasantha.
