Veerabhadraiah is a feudal lord presiding over a village along with his henchmen, including his assistant and the village sarpanch. Veerabhadraiah lends money to Venkateswarlu, a local farmer living with his widowed daughter. Venkateswarlu's son, Suryam, is a hardworking student living in a nearby city, and he falls in love with Veerabhadraiah's daughter, Madhulatha. When Veerabhadraiah realizes this, he asks Venkateswarlu to persuade his son to stop seeing Madhulatha, but Venkateswarlu refuses. Veerabhadraiah kills Venkateswarlu and asks Suryam to pay the money which he had given as a loan. Suryam asks for some time and with the help of his elder sister raises crops to repay. Just as the crops are ready for harvest, Veerabhadraiah and his henchmen not only destroy the crops but also try to sexually abuse Suryam's sister, during which she commits suicide. As the village head, Veerabhadraiah frames Suryam for his sister's death, claiming that he was forcing her into prostitution, resulting in her suicide. Suryam is arrested by the Police. The remainder of the movie follows Suryam's escape from jail and his quest for revenge against Veerabhadraiah and his accomplices. With the assistance of Sujatha, a doctor, Suryam seeks to avenge the destruction of his family.
