Plot

[edit]

Collector Rama Kantha Rao, a stickler for law & order, leads a happy family life with his ideal wife Lakshmi Devi, son Ravi, and daughter Jyothi. Here, a rift arises between father & son as Ravi believes that sometimes out-of-law can be initiated to justify the truth. Besides, a felon, Appa Rao & his acolyte, Eelimudrala Ellayah, remorselessly carry out their barbarities with their sons Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao, respectively. The Collector hinders them when thwarting their bid to bribe him but fails. Meanwhile, an Ellayah contests the election, with the aid of Appa Rao, and turns as a minister. He is determined to affront the Collector, but he courageously persists. Parallelly, Ravi falls for Bharati, the sister of his bestie Satyam. Satyam is a journalist, and his father, Srinivasa Rao, is a newspaper editor who exposes the Minister's nefarious face. Once, Satyam smokes out the flingings of the Minister when Kanna Rao & Chinna Rao slaughter him. Ravi witnesses the crime, but the malefactors are acquitted with fake alibis. At that juncture, enraged Ravi stabs to kill them when Collector bars him, and a clash ensues between them, which makes Ravi quit. Following this, Collector starts his investigation and gathers evidence against baddies. Surprisingly, Ravi backs as a stout-hearted cop to support his father, but they still move in their paths. After that, they unmask the Minister and downswing him from power. Begrudged, Ellayah & gang attack Ravi, and, unfortunately, Jyothi dies. At last, Collector fuses with Ravi and ceases the culprits. Finally, the movie ends happily, with Collector appreciating Ravi.
